4. Symlink webroot

devilbox@php-7.0.20 in /shared/httpd/my-symfony $ ln -s symfony/web/ htdocs

5. Enable Symfony prod (app.php)

devilbox@php-7.0.20 in /shared/httpd/my-symfony $ cd symfony/web
devilbox@php-7.0.20 in /shared/httpd/my-symfony/symfony/web $ ln -s app.php index.php

6. DNS record

If you do not have global_configuration_auto_dns configured, you will need to add the following line to your host operating systems /etc/hosts file (or C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc on Windows):

127.0.0.1 my-symfony.loc

For in-depth info about adding DNS records on Linux, Windows or MacOS see: project_configuration_dns_records or global_configuration_auto_dns.
