Integrating wordpress to symfony 3 based website - php

Question

I have a website that uses Symfony3 and am trying to integrate a wordpress blog under www.website.com/blog.
So what I've done so far is create a blog folder, under the Symfony web folder, which contains the wordpress files.
I've then added a rewrite rule, in the web/ directory's .htaccess file so that when we are under blog/, Symfony's url rewriting won't do anything :
# Passing through the Url rewriting for all blog/ urls
RewriteRule ^blog/(.*)$ blog/$1 [PT]
So far it's good. I can access the admin section and everything but the problem is that when I try to access www.website.com/blog or even www.website.com/blog/index.php I only get the list of files in the folder and not the actual front page.
And here is the .htaccess file from blog/ folder that was created when I launched the wordpress installation script:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /xxx/web/blog/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /xxx/web/blog/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Any ideas why ?

I think that if you have access to the sites-available's configuration file for your site, i.e. /etc/apache2/sites-available/mysite.conf.
And add a <Directory> for your blog with the WordPress rules:
<Directory /var/www/mysite/web/blog>
DirectoryIndex index.php
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /blog/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
</Directory>
Note: I have added DirectoryIndex index.php by myself because my Symfony have a DirectoryIndex app.php or DirectoryIndex disabled.
If you don't have access to your configuration file, probably you need to add the DirectoryIndex index.php to your .httaccess but then your configuration site and the .httaccess of Symfony should allow this directive, e.g., they should contain AllowOverride All or AllowOverride Indexes FileInfo.
