Question

I developed a project on Zend Framework on Ubuntu. I created a virtual host on my local machine for testing. It is working perfectly on my local machine. This is the entry for virtual host on local machine.

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName example.dev
    DocumentRoot /var/www/example/public/
    <Directory /var/www/example/public/>
        AllowOverride All
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Problem:

My problem is that when I purchased domain(example.com) name and hosting they gave me following ftp directory to upload my content.

example.com is pointing to /www.example.com/web/content

But I need example.com to point/www.example.com/web/content/public

I asked them to solve it but they told it is impossible. Is there any programing/configuration solution of this.

Thanks

Edit:

I have already following .htaccess in /www.example.com/web/content/public

SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV development
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [NC,L]

Depending on the web server they use and the configuration they have you may be able to override some of the configuration, for example, you can change document root with apache rewrite rules with a .htaccess file like this one to put under the root of /www.example.com/web/content

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^\.htaccess$ - [F]

RewriteRule ^$ /public/index.php [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/public/.*$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /public/$1

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]

RewriteRule ^public/.*$ /public/index.php [NC,L]
