There is no index.php inside of /symfony (this is the name of the subfolder).
However I put a test.php file and it says “Internal Server Error”. Apache logs say “Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /web/htdocs/www.mysite.it/home/symfony/

Hi Paolo, does the apache user and group (usually www-data or nobody) has read rights on the symfony directory in your web root?

Try accessing /symfony/index.php directly and see if that works.

Hi! I followed your guide, however Apache returns me a 403 error, saying “Forbidden – You don’t have permission to access /symfony/ on this server”.
Can you post here your *external* (httpd root directory) .htaccess?
Thank you in advance,
Paolo

Dudes, can u put the put content of you .htaccess?

I fallow your instruction and still no luck for me.

Here is my .htaccess content

Options +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI

RewriteEngine On

# uncomment the following line, if you are having trouble
# getting no_script_name to work
RewriteBase /testing/

# we skip all files with .something
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \..+$
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.html$
#RewriteRule .* – [L]

# we check if the .html version is here (caching)
RewriteRule ^$ index.html [QSA]
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.html [QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

# no, so we redirect to our front web controller
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [QSA,L]

Thanks
