Symfony2 in own directory and using mod_rewrite - php

I have Symfony2 installed in <host>/Symfony/ though with the default .htaccess in /var/www/Symfony/web/ when I go to:
<host>/Symfony/web/app.php/hello/James
I get redirected to:
<host>/hello/James
I want to get redirected to:
<host>/Symfony/hello/James
I think it is something to do with this in the .htaccess:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}::$1 ^(/.+)(.+)::\2$
RewriteRule ^(.*) - [E=BASE:%1]
RewriteRule .? %{ENV:BASE}app.php [L]
I not very good with mod_rewrite
EDIT
# Use the front controller as index file. It serves as fallback solution when
# every other rewrite/redirect fails (e.g. in an aliased environment without
# mod_rewrite). Additionally, this reduces the matching process for the
# startpage (path "/") because otherwise Apache will apply the rewritting rules
# to each configured DirectoryIndex file (e.g. index.php, index.html, index.pl).
DirectoryIndex app.php
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

# So in case you get a "too many redirects" error or you always get redirected
# to the startpage because your Apache does not expose the REDIRECT_STATUS

# We only want to let Apache serve files and not directories.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule .? - [L]
# The following rewrites all other queries to the front controller. The
# condition ensures that if you are using Apache aliases to do mass virtual
# hosting, the base path will be prepended to allow proper resolution of the

Symfony 4 htaccess

Ok, i fixed all the problem, configured the server on localhost, but i want to hide the /public directory and want to display the content in the root folder of my document for example /forum/ and for logging /forum/login instead of going to forum/public/login. Here is the htaccess file but it dont work, because it gives No routes for GET /forum/.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /forum/
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /public/([^\s?]*) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1 [L,NE,R=302]
RewriteRule ^((?!public/).*)$ public/$1 [L,NC]
What im doing wrong ?
Actually sometimes we may need to add .htaccess file
We can use this code as .htaccess file. I have checked this on Ubuntu VPS and also on Cpanel.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [QSA,L]
</IfModule>
<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
<IfModule mod_alias.c>
RedirectMatch 302 ^/$ /index.php/
</IfModule>
</IfModule>
My root .htaccess looks like this, I think you can put it onto your symfony root folder.
# Removes index.php from ExpressionEngine URLs
RewriteEngine on
# RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/public/
RewriteRule ^(.*) /public/$1 [L]
Then my .htaccess inside the public/ folder:
# Determine the RewriteBase automatically and set it as environment variable.
# If you are using Apache aliases to do mass virtual hosting or installed the
# project in a subdirectory, the base path will be prepended to allow proper
# resolution of the index.php file and to redirect to the correct URI. It will
# work in environments without path prefix as well, providing a safe, one-size
# fits all solution. But as you do not need it in this case, you can comment
# the following 2 lines to eliminate the overhead.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}::$0 ^(/.+)/(.*)::\2$
RewriteRule .* - [E=BASE:%1]
# Sets the HTTP_AUTHORIZATION header removed by Apache
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} .+
RewriteRule ^ - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%0]
# Redirect to URI without front controller to prevent duplicate content
# (with and without `/index.php`). Only do this redirect on the initial
# rewrite by Apache and not on subsequent cycles. Otherwise we would get an
# endless redirect loop (request -> rewrite to front controller ->
# redirect -> request -> ...).
# So in case you get a "too many redirects" error or you always get redirected
# to the start page because your Apache does not expose the REDIRECT_STATUS
# environment variable, you have 2 choices:
# - disable this feature by commenting the following 2 lines or
# - use Apache >= 2.3.9 and replace all L flags by END flags and remove the
# following RewriteCond (best solution)
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} =""
RewriteRule ^index\.php(?:/(.*)|$) %{ENV:BASE}/$1 [R=301,L]
# If the requested filename exists, simply serve it.
# We only want to let Apache serve files and not directories.
# Rewrite all other queries to the front controller.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ %{ENV:BASE}/index.php [L]

Symfony route collision with folder in /web

So, when defining a route in symfony (3) like this:
app:
path: /app
defaults:
_controller: WebsiteBundle:App:index
And there happens to be a folder named app (containing assets like JS, images, etc.) inside your web folder this route stops working in a production environment. It just redirects to /web/app/ and then throws a 404. When serving through the console on localhost this works fine since all routing happens in PHP by magix, but when using apache this seems to go wrong.
I think these two lines /web/.htaccess are breaking everything, but I'm not sure. I'm not a master of .htaccess and I always copy-paste the magic I find online (or provided by the default symfony build).
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteRule ^app\.php(?:/(.*)|$) %{ENV:BASE}/$1 [R=301,L]
In this particular case I could solve it by just running the /app route on / instead, but for future reference an answer to this riddle might come in handy.
Thanks in advance, y'all crazy smart people out there.
[UPDATE]
This is the full .htaccess file in the apache root directory:
#php_value memory_limit 512M
#php_value upload_max_filesize 20M

Symfony remove first three characters from route

I have simple Symfony 2.8 application. On localhost it works fine. But when I upload it to share hosting only "/" route works. But in every route, which is >= 4 characters long the first three characters disappears.
For example:
I go to domain.com/123456 and Symfony says No route found for "GET 465"
I go to domain.com/admin and Symfony says No route found for "GET in"
I go to domain.com/blog and Symfony says No route found for "GET g"
...
It happend even on localhost when I use .htaccess to redirects all direct access to the web directory to the root. I have .htaccess solution from here.

I offer you this alternative, using a vhost and the symfony default .htaccess

DocumentRoot /var/www/myproject/web
<Directory />

How can I rewrite URL's of a certain directory?

Ok, vague question title, I know. Wasn't sure how to summarize this in one line. I have two applications in my CodeIgniter installation: frontend and admin. There are two front controllers for each that set to the correct application folder. Currently, I use index.php/home for the home page of the frontend and admin.php/home for the home page of the admin panel.
I finally got around to removing index.php from the URL of the frontend. For the admin cp, I would like to use example.com/admin instead of example.com/admin.php. So I basically need to rewrite any uri that has admin as the first segment to admin.php. I figured that adding RewriteRule ^admin/(.*)$ admin.php/$1 to my htaccess would do the trick, but apparently it doesn't... Not completely anyway. I get 404 Page Not Found for every single page in my admin cp. What am I doing wrong?

You need to add your rule before you index.php routing rule. It's because ^(.*)$ is matching admin/whatever, so your admin rule will never get executed. You should also add -Multiviews to your options so it looks like this:
Options +FollowSymLinks -Multiviews
Then right under RewriteEngine On, add your rule:
RewriteRule ^admin/(.*)$ admin.php/$1 [L]
