Question

May I change the default Symfony2 structure to fit my needs?
I like the follow structure, but don’t know how to get it to working..

core/ <- Symfony2 core files
app/ <- All applications
app/Acme/ <- Application for Acme enterprise (with all bundles..)
app/clientone.com/ <- Application for Client One enterprise (with all bundles..)

Inside symfony2 distribution there are 4 main directories:

• app (there are customisations to your app)
• vendors (symfony and other libraries)
• src (your source code which may or may not to be application specific,
  there could be bundle ClientoneBundle which is specific to only this application,
  but also could be a bundle reused among your applications,- such as UserBundle)
• web (http document root)

So if you have several applications you could keep vendors separately. And each of your application may contain three directories like:
– apps/acme/app
– apps/acme/src
– apps/acme/web
– apps/clientone/app
– apps/clientone/src
– apps/clientone/web
– some/where/else/in/filesystem/vendor

To implement such setup is very easy,- all you have to do is edit your autoload.php (which resides in app dir), just replace everywhere __DIR__.'/../vendor to __DIR__.'/../vendor,
in other words, tell symfony2 that you moved vendors somewhere else.

(I just renamed app directory in your setup to apps – to be not confused with app directory, inside each of your application)
