How to get visitors redirected to www.yourdomain.com

Sometimes you dont have domain name but you would like to get your symfony project working. For that just place the .htaccess file from web folder to outside of the project root folder. After that edit the .htaccess file as follows.

RewriteEngine On

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

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.domain\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [L,R=301]

# 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 ^(.*)$ web/index.php [QSA,L]

So, after entering the domain name it will automatically take to the production environment of your project..

Enjoy It...! Have a fun... :)
