Configuring a Web Server
========================

The web directory is the home of all of your application's public and static
files. Including images, stylesheets and JavaScript files. It is also where the
front controllers live. For more details, see the :ref:`the-web-directory`.
The preferred way to develop your Symfony2 application is to use
:doc:`PHP's internal web server </cookbook/web_server/built_in>`. However,
when using an older PHP version or when running the application in the production
environment, you'll need to use a fully-featured web server. This article
describes several ways to use Symfony with Apache2 or Nginx.

The web directory services as the document root when configuring your web
server. In the examples below, this directory is in ``/var/www/project/web/``.
When using Apache2, you can configure PHP as an
:ref:`Apache module <web-server-apache-mod-php>` or with FastCGI using
:ref:`PHP FPM <web-server-apache-fpm>`. FastCGI also is the preferred way
to use PHP :ref:`with Nginx <web-server-nginx>`.
