Symfony2从外部服务器上的url中删除web

Question

I've been looking for the solution for a long time. There are a lot of such topics and I know it. But I still can't figure it out. How can I remove web from the symfony2 project url? I tried to do this with htaccess looking like this:

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ web/$1 [L]

but it doesn't work. It gives me an error:

 No route found for "GET /web/"

I really can't change the root directory on this server as only thing I have is FTP permission. Anybody has any idea for this?

Edit: I also tried a trick to put all the files from web in root directory and the rest of the project higher. The problem is the highest directory I have access to is the root.

You shall need to update your virtual host config file and set the DocumentRoot to point to the web folder.

For example you may currently have it set as

DocumentRoot /var/www/myproject/    

but you need to update it to

DocumentRoot /var/www/myproject/web    

More information can be found within the Symfony2 cookbook here

Also this shall stop anyone trying to access the config/parameters.yml
