How to deploy Symfony2 on a shared-hosting?
.htaccess, mod-rewrite, shared-hosting, symfony
Solution
In your configuration, apache uses `public_html` as the document root
If Symfony2 is installed in directory `/home/u105859802/public_html/amateur1`, the Symfony public directory to serve is `/home/u105859802/public_html/amateur1/web/`
You should use
RewriteBase /amateur1/web/
But beware, it is not safe You have to protect your symfony directories! (configuration is accessible)
Why don't you try moving your symfony files in your private area ? You can rename the Symfony web directory to `public_html`
See how to do that in documentation cookbook
So, my recommendation structure looks like below :
- /home/u105859802/
- vendor
- src
- app
- bin
- public_html (web by default in symfony2) <- the only public directory
Problem
I want to access my symfony app in production env (http://www.sample.com/amateur1/web/app.php) from this url http://www.sample.com/amateur1. To do that I moved the .htacces file to http://www.sample.com/amateur1/.htaccess with this contents: ``` <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /web/ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^(.*)$ app.php [QSA,L] </IfModule> ``` But when I go to http://www.sample.com/amateur1 shows a 404 Error, and prod.log isn't written. I also used `RewriteBase /amateur1/web/` because I don't know If RewriteBase path is relative to the DocumentRoot of the server, Or from the path where the .htaccess file is located. Also tried `/amateur1` and `/amateur1/` as RewriteBase due to this answer Symfony2: How to deploy in subdirectory (Apache) With the three try's, The Exceptions page appears unstyled, and not loading any image. But then I get the following error in prod.log file: ``` [2013-02-15 02:06:47] request.ERROR: Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\NotFoundHttpException: No route found for "GET /amateur1/" (uncaught exception) at /home/u105859802/public_html/amateur1/app/cache/prod/classes.php line 5121 [] [] ``` What I'm doing wrong ?
