Permanent redirect to subfolder with .htaccess
I am creating a Symfony2 project on a shared host and I am having some problems. Symfony2 by default has its dispatchers or core files (which on many systems is a file index.php
) inside a directory /web
, so if I move the entire project public_html
to shared hosting it won't work until I add it /web
to the end of the URL. This is bad and noise for users as they know the page for this domain. I am trying to do a redirect using the .htaccess
following:
//301 Redirect Entire Directory
RedirectMatch 301 /(.*) /web/$1
//Prevent directory listings
Options All -Indexes
But it hasn't been working since the hosting said that these lines are bad in the .htaccess file, then how can I deal with this issue?

Do you know when you buy some kind of hosting and you do your first FTP access in your favorite client?
You can see something like this:
/ ftp/ httpdocs/ access_log.txt
The directory web/
is httpdocs/
in this scenario. Sometimes the directory is called public_html
, www
or simply html
.
At the end of the day, they are all the same.
Your symfony project catalogs app/
, src/
, vendor/
should be at the root of the public.
Usually on monitored servers, you can create virtual hosts where you specify the document root. However, if you are trying to load the site, move everything to the parent directory and rename the web directory to whatever server you configured to use.
