Symfony 2.8 assets 404 in Prod

Question

I have built my site to live and all my assets are coming back as 404.

The an example link to the assets is ' http://www.mydomain.co.uk/assets/css/normalize.css ';

I know all my assets live in /web. so when I add /web to the URL and it works, ' http://www.mydomain.co.uk/ {web}/assets/css/normalize.css';

I have added a directory index to my root .htaccess which has helped my site load app.php but this does not seem to work for my assets what am I missing?

// .htaccess DirectoryIndex /web/app.php //

Regards,

To change the document root via .htaccess

add the following to your .htaccess in your server root

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^my-domain.co.uk$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.my-domain.co.uk.co.uk$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !web/
RewriteRule (.*) /web/$1 [L]

Explained:

RewriteEngine on

//Enable Rewrites

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^my-domain.co.uk$ [NC,OR]

//Regex expression that matches people who find your domain without the www.

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.my-domain.co.uk.co.uk$

//Regex expression that matches another way to your domain

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !web/
RewriteRule (.*) /web/$1 [L]

// from the root file look for the file which you would like to set as your root mine was www/web - and app.php was in there
