Symfony2 - redirect /web directory to root

Question

I've got a duplicate content problem with my Symfony2 projet. The following urls gives the same content :

www.mywebsite.com/web/page and www.mywebsite.com/page

Here is the content of my /.htaccess file :

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ web/$1 [QSA,L]
</IfModule>

And the content of my /web/.htaccess file :

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ app.php [QSA,L]
</IfModule>

I would like to redirect any url starting with /web to / but I can't manage to do it. Do you have any suggestion ?

Can someone explain me why this question were closed as "off topic" in order to know it for the next time ? — Brewal

As said here, questions related to htaccess are not necessarly off topic on SO. I then voted to reopen it as it has not even been moved to another site. — Brewal

In the htaccess file in your web directory (the /web/.htaccess file), add these rules right beneath the RewriteEngine On:

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^(GET|HEAD)\ /web/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /$1 [L,R=301]

This redirects all direct access to the web directory to the root.
