Let’s imagine that your shared host requires that the web folder is named www/ instead of web/, and that it doesn’t give you access to the httpd.conf file, but only to an .htaccess file in the web folder.

In a symfony project, every path to a directory is configurable. Chapter 19 will tell you more about it, but in the meantime, you can still rename the web directory to www and have the application take it into account by changing the configuration, as shown in Listing 3-2. These lines are to be added to the end of the config/ProjectConfiguration.class.php file.

Listing 3-2 – Changing the Default Directory Structure Settings, in config/ProjectConfiguration.class.php

class ProjectConfiguration extends sfProjectConfiguration
{
   public function setup()
   {
     $this->setWebDir($this->getRootDir().'/www');
   }
}
