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?

Answer 1

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.
