Symfony2 on Installation Demo/Config 404 Error on Apache

I'm trying to set up Symfony2 as per the guide on their website. I'm running Apache2 on my local Ubuntu machine.

I have managed to resolve all of the errors mentioned in

localhost/Symfony/web/config.php

(which works as expected), but when I try to follow either of the links from there:

localhost/Symfony/web/app_dev.php/_configurator/ or localhost/Symfony/web/app_dev.php/

I get a 404 error. If I go instead to

localhost/Symfony/web/app_dev.php

then the page works, but then again, all links fro开发者_运维百科m it are broken. Could this be an Apache config issue?

your document root of your apache should point to the web directory of symfony

if i assume the following is the path to the php file:

/var/www/Symfony/web/app_dev.php

you should point your apaches document root to:

/var/www/Symfony/web/

ensure apaches rewrite engine is on and htaccess files are correctly read.

enable apaches rewrite engine:

a2emod rewrite

if this doesn't help, try adding/moving your question to stackoverflow.com, its more a symfony specific question, there you find more symfony user.

You will need to add the AcceptPathInfo directive to your .htaccess or your vhost:

AcceptPathInfo On

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#acceptpathinfo

This is a strange oversight in the Symfony installation / configuration guide.. It seems that the issue has been known about for a long while and yet a solution hasn't been integrated/document anywhere official.
