How can I access "web" folder from config.yml in symfony2

Question

How can I access "web" folder from config.yml in a symfony2 app ? I have tried %web%, %base_dir%, %asset_dir% and am running into a brick wall.

Answer 1

In config.yml you can use %kernel.root_dir%/../web.

If you want a handy shortcut, in your parameters.ini you can define something like :

web_dir = %kernel.root_dir%/../web

Then in config.yml you will use %web_dir%.
