title: RewriteRule in Apache with Symfony2 not removing app.php
body: <p>I have the following .htaccess file in my web directory for my Symfony2 installation:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;IfModule mod_rewrite.c&gt;
      RewriteEngine On
      RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
      RewriteRule ^(.*) app.php [QSA,L]
  &lt;/IfModule&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, when I try something basic such as:</p>
  
  <pre><code>(whatever)/web/app.php/place
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>it doesn't removing the app.php from the URL.  I'm new to Apache and I'm not sure what's going on here, can anyone shed some light?  Thanks in advance!</p>
  
  <p>EDIT:
  Due to the structure of the web app I am working with I cannot move app.php or app_dev.php outside of the web folder nor can I modify the server configuration of Apache in anyway, thus I am looking for an alternative solution to this problem.</p>
