How to remove web/ from url (symfony) - url

Question

I am using symfony 3. I want to remove web/ from url like this.
localhost/symfony/web/
to
localhost/symfony/
but I want all my asset (css, js etc) in web folder.
Like other frameworks (codeigniter, cakephp), we access main controller from root not web folder
Anybody can help

Answer 1

I am using this htaccess in the root directory. It could help you.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ web/$1 [QSA,L]
</IfModule>

Answer 2

I'd suggest to change the DocumentRoot path in your Virtual Host configuration in Apache.
<VirtualHost *:80>
...
DocumentRoot /path/to/project/web
</VirtualHost>
This way Apache will point to your web/ folder instead of your project root folder and will avoid having the /web/ in your URL.
Hope this helps :)

You can remove it by changing the DocumentRoot path in your Virtual Host configuration in Apache.
Step-1
Open D:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf and put below code
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName mysite.dev
ServerAlias www.mysite.dev
DocumentRoot "D:/xampp/htdocs/symfony_demo/web"
<Directory "D:/xampp/htdocs/symfony_demo/web">
AllowOverride All
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from All
</Directory>
# uncomment the following lines if you install assets as symlinks
# or run into problems when compiling LESS/Sass/CoffeeScript assets
# <Directory /var/www/project>
# Options FollowSymlinks
# </Directory>
ErrorLog "logs/mysite_error.log"
##CustomLog /var/log/apache2/project_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
And save this file
Step-2
Open C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file and put below code
127.0.0.1 mysite.dev
and save
Step-3
Restart Apache and hit "mysite.dev" in browser
