Configuration problem in my production server in symfony...

Question

Well, i have a shared host and i have'nt ssh access. The problem is the server structure and symfony estructure...

Server has this estructure

error/ log/ ... web/

and in web dir we can load web aplication... symnfony structure is..

app/ .. web/

well the problem is that with my domain, if i try to access i have to put www.domainname.com/web/ to acces at symfony project....

1)if i try to copy all web symfony content to web directory it render first page ok(index.php) but links are wrong because they are www.domainame.com/moduleName/ and this directory does not exist...

2)if i create an .htacces file in web domain dir... when i put www.domainname.com it redirects me to web automatic but the other links have www.domainname.com/web/moduleName/ in his direction

I want ONLY www.domainname.com/moduleName/... how i can do it???

It is urgent.

Thanks.

edit1. this is my .htaccess file...

Options +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine On

  # uncomment the following line, if you are having trouble
  # getting no_script_name to work
  #RewriteBase /

  # we skip all files with .something
  #RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \..+$
  #RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.html$
  #RewriteRule .* - [L]

  # we check if the .html version is here (caching)
  RewriteRule ^$ index.html [QSA]
  RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.html [QSA]
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

  # no, so we redirect to our front web controller
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ web/index.php [QSA,L]
</IfModule>

Answer 1

.htaccess mod_rewrite

Answer 2

In order for the /web to be removed from the url you need to use an apache module called mod_rewrite. Like so:

Options +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine On

  # uncomment the following line, if you are having trouble
  # getting no_script_name to work
  #RewriteBase /

  # we skip all files with .something
  #RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \..+$
  #RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.html$
  #RewriteRule .* - [L]

  # we check if the .html version is here (caching)
  RewriteRule ^$ index.html [QSA]
  RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.html [QSA]
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

  # no, so we redirect to our front web controller
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [QSA,L]
</IfModule>

The docs for this are here.

The proper way to set up symfony though is to use a Virtual Host which is pointed at the web folder. This will use the web folder as your root and therefore you won't see it in the url.
