Symfony 2 on virtual hosts

Question

I have a problem here with Symfony 2. I want to have virtual host on Windows Vista PC, so I can access my Symfony application like this myapp.local.com. What I have tried:

I added these lines to hosts file

127.0.0.1 local.com    
127.0.0.1 myapp.local.com

These I added to apache httpd-vhosts.conf

< VirtualHost myapp.local.com:80 >
   DocumentRoot "d:/data/www/myapp/web"
   ServerName myapp.local.com
   Alias /sf /$sf_symfony_data_dir/web/sf
< Directory "/$sf_symfony_data_dir/web/sf" >
   AllowOverride All
   Allow from All
< /Directory >
< Directory "d:/data/www/myapp/web" >
   AllowOverride All
   Allow from All
< /Directory >
< /VirtualHost >

but when I write myapp.local.com in my browser, it brings the index of my www directory. What am I doing wrong?

You are using the virtualhost configuration proposed for Symfony 1.

My virtualhost for Symfony2 under linux looks like this:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName www.domain.com.localhost
    ServerAlias domain.com.localhost
    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

    DocumentRoot /home/user/www/project/web
    <Directory /home/user/www/project/web/>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
        AllowOverride None
        Order allow,deny
        allow from all
        <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
            RewriteEngine On
            RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
            RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /app.php [QSA,L]
        </IfModule>
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Try this (adapted to your config in windows), restart Apache, and try accessing the URL again.

You will find more informations on Symfony2 virtual hosts on this cookbook entry.

Ok, forgot the '/' in `Directory /home/user/www/project/web/>` line. Now I get the index of `web/` folder. Need to change something to refer to app.php I guess. – ArVan Jan 22 '12 at 16:54

You need to install the mod_rewrite apache module – Nanocom Jan 22 '12 at 17:14

Or add line DirectoryIndex app.php – Nanocom Jan 22 '12 at 17:14
Thank you @Nanocom, that module was really missing :) – ArVan Jan 22 '12 at 17:33

Symfony 1.x explicitly laid out vhost config in every demo/tutorial....why the hell is there a universal absence of all things vhost related in symfony2 documentation? Am I missing something? – herringtown Mar 16 '13 at 23:11

@herringtown [and what about this](http://symfony.com/doc/current/cookbook/configuration/web_server_configuration.html) The preferred (and easiest) way to start using Symfony2 is to use the php's built in web server and the `php ./app/console server:run` command. If you want to use a web server you probably know how to configure it and if not you should consult the web server's documentation. – 1ed Jun 17 '13 at 21:15
Don't forget to go to the app_dev.php – Szenis Jun 08 '15 at 17:44
Works with Symfony 4, just change `app.php` by `index.php` – Benj Jun 29 '19 at 00:35

Windows version for symfony 3.4:
Just simple like this:

C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf

<VirtualHost *:80>
  DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/symfony_CRUD/web"
  DirectoryIndex app_dev.php
  ServerName fudu.symfony.net
</VirtualHost>

C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc

127.0.0.1 fudu.symfony.net

Then you go fudu.symfony.net/app_dev.php
Hope it help some one :)
