Symfony Error The server returned a 404 Not Found

Question

I am new to Symfony.

I just installed Symfony 2.3.2 by following instruction given at http://symfony.com/doc/current/book/installation.html for windows.

When i open

http://localhost/Symfony/web/

then i get error given below

Oops! An Error Occurred

The server returned a "404 Not Found".

However if i run

http://localhost/Symfony/web/app-dev.php

then i get the Welcome page of Symfony.

What settings i need to change to point

http://localhost/Symfony/web/app-dev.php

by calling

Update .htaccess in web directory like this :

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ app_dev.php [QSA,L]
</IfModule>

/ will redirect to /app_dev.php
