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
# comment the following 3 lines to allow periods in routes
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>

# big crash from our front web controller
ErrorDocument 500 "<h2>Application error</h2>symfony application failed to start properly"

I have problems with .htaccess too.

Please help me! My .htaccess not working.

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^home(.*)?$ index.php?s=home

Result: Error 404 but index.php?s=home exists and work!

I solved my problem. the answer was to change

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

to

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

juliany,

In that case you have not deployed symfony as intended. The idea is to place the contents of the folder /web directly under the web (or site) root. In other words: symphony's /web is jagpc's /public_html. The other folders can be outside the web root, which is safer. (AFAIK Symfony was made with this structure in mind, so perhaps it's even necessary to be safe at all.) If you put them directly into your home directory, you probably needn't change anything else.

So that becomes:
- Copy the Symphony project to your home folder (that's /home/accountname)
- Move the stuff in /web to /public_html and remove /web

Have you also "frozen" your project for deployment, i.e. included all the framework parts inside the project file structure (rather than hope for a central PEAR install)?

Hi Wim,

I redeployed using only the web dir for a addon domain

and yes I also did a freeze

I removed the .htaccess file and that did nothing

the app is at http://www.millercollegeproject.com/

if you have any more ideas i would be so greatfull

Ok, so it's on an add on domain. In that case: /home/julianyo/public_html/millercollegeproject/ is symfony's /web folder.

All the other folders should go way up. You could for example make a folder /home/julianyo/millercollegeproject/ and put them there.

There should be a setting somewhere (in the index.php?) that references where this folder is.

BTW: Are you showing the development / debugging front controller on purpose?

[Gwaihir]

A yes, to make the two parts find eachother once in those places:
- Set the SF_ROOT_DIR constant on top of your front controller(s), http://www.symfony-project.org/book/...t%20Controller
- Set the sf_web_dir in your application´s config file http://www.symfony-project.org/book/...-Host%20Server

I *think* that should do it. (I´ve only ever used symfony as the one thing running on a dedicated server. So I´ve not had to fool around with this.)
