Symfony 2: How to remove the "/web/" folder from the url in a shared hosting?

Question

I've been searching for a way to remove the "/web/" folder from an application URL in a shared environment, in which I cannot change the DocumentRoot or create a VirtualHost.

I found some solutions based on mod_rewrite, but all of them apply to Symfony 1.x, or they just don't work (I'm very new to mod_rewrite anyway, so it may be my fault).

Is there a way to do this with Symfony 2?

That's one of the solutions based on mod_rewrite that I tried, but it doesn't work for me :( It just spits a 404 :( — zootropo, Aug 13 '12 at 06:57
Are you sure that mod_rewrite is enabled in your system? Maybe that is why the rewrite solutions don´t work — Carlos Granados, Aug 13 '12 at 07:47

You have to set web server's document root pointing to your "Web" directory. If you can't customize document root just move content of your "web" directory directly into document root and move all other staff one level above. For example:

/home/username/www/html <---- this is the place where you put all things from "web"
/home/username/www/src  <---- and all other things one level above
/home/username/www/app
/home/username/www/vendor
...
