PHP: Symfony2 web application's URL

Question

So I have this question: I have a web application on xampp. Now my URL is: localhost/symfony/web/app_dev.php/inbox But I want it to be just localhost/inbox for example. Is that possible? I only know the way to do it with nginx, but not with the xampp or symfony routing.

Answer 1

you have do edit the .htaccess

you can use this one and put in on localhost/symfony/web :

DirectoryIndex app_dev.php

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}::$1 ^(/.+)/(.*)::\2$
    RewriteRule ^(.*) - [E=BASE:%1]

    RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
    RewriteRule ^app_dev\.php(/(.*)|$) %{ENV:BASE}/$2 [R=301,L]

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
    RewriteRule .? - [L]

    RewriteRule .? %{ENV:BASE}/app_dev.php [L]
</IfModule>

<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
    <IfModule mod_alias.c>
        RedirectMatch 302 ^/$ /app_dev.php/
        # RedirectTemp cannot be used instead
    </IfModule>
</IfModule>

PS: your URL will be localhost/symfony/inbox as it should be. Then when you'll put it on a server, you'll put all the files in the root and your URL will be domain.com/inbox

hope this helps :)

Answer 2

Edit your Apache config file to point DocumentRoot correctly to web folder:

DocumentRoot /var/www/Symfony/web
<Directory /var/www/Symfony/web>
    ... something goes here ...
</Directory>
