使用.htaccess永久重定向到子文件夹

Question

I'm setting up a Symfony2 project on a Shared Host and I'm having some issues getting things done. Symfony2 by default has their dispatch controllers or main files (what in many system is the file index.php ) inside /web directory so if I move all the project to public_html on the shared hosting then it won't works until I append the /web to the end on the URL. This is bad and noise for users since they know the page for it's domain. I'm trying to make the redirect using .htaccess as follow:

//301 Redirect Entire Directory
RedirectMatch 301 /(.*) /web/$1

//Prevent directory listings
Options All -Indexes

But it's not working since the hosting said that this lines are bad in the .htaccess file, then how I can get ride of this problem?

Answer 1

In root .htaccess you can use this mod_rewrite rule:

//Prevent directory listings
Options All -Indexes

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^((?!web/).*)$ /web/$1 [L,NC,R=301,NE]

You know when you buy some hosting and you make your first FTP to it in your favourite client?

You might see something like this:

/
    ftp/
    httpdocs/
    access_log.txt

The web/ directory is the httpdocs/ in this scenario. Sometimes the directory is called public_html , www , or just html .

They are all the same thing in the end of the day.

In your symfony project, the app/ , src/ , vendor/ directories are supposed to sit behind the public root directory.

Normally on controlled servers you can create virtual hosts where you specify the document root. However if you are trying to get a website uploaded, move everything up to the parent directory and rename the web directory to what server is set up to use.
