Symfony 4: Directory Structure Updates

Update: This article has been updated to add missing steps.

After a long discussion in the community, the directory structure has been slightly changed.

etc/ was renamed to config/, and web/ to public/. My blog posts about Symfony 4 have just been updated to reflect these changes.

If you already have a project using Symfony Flex, upgrading is as simple as:

• Renaming etc/ to config/;
• Renaming web/ to public/;
• Updating your web server configuration to take into account the new public/ directory;
• Upgrading symfony/flex to the latest version;
• Update composer.json to replace %WEB_DIR% to %PUBLIC_DIR%;
• Update the content of src/Kernel.php with the one from the updated recipe;
• Done.
