Question

I have this folder structure:

/www/project/web/app.php

I can access it via /project/web/index.php. The problem is that I do not want to have web/ as part of the URL. It should be /project/index.php.

With this .htaccess in /www/project/ folder:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ web/index.php [L]

It seems to reroute to the correct file when accessed via /project/foo/bar, however, the REQUEST_URI stays intact and is /project/index.php/foo/bar which breaks many things.

How can I change the REQUEST_URI to not contain the project?

To put it simply:

/www/project/.htaccess

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ web/index.php [L]

Accessing the URL /project/foo/bar correctly reroutes to index.php, but the application fails because REQUEST_URI contains /project/foo/bar instead of /foo/bar. project is a folder and should not be part of the request.

Try adding the following to your /www/project/.htaccess

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /project/

#first, if project/web or web or just project is present, redirect and remove them
RewriteRule ^(project/web/|web/|project/)(.*)$ $2 [L,R=301]


#next, rewrite all requests to web/index.php
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ web/index.php [L]
