How to deploy Symfony2 on a shared-hosting?

问题:

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 ?

回答1:

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

回答2:

In most of the shared hosting, you can't override Apache settings in that case may need to wright a redirection rule in .htaccess file

Options +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?mydomain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule !^projectName/ /projectName/web/app.php/%{REQUEST_URI} [L,NC]

this is the rule I used in my project . You may need to provide full paths to your assets other ways they will not get loaded .
