How can Symfony developers ensure that their source code is secure and inaccessible by placing the VirtualHost directly on the web directory?

Placing the VirtualHost directly on the web directory can expose sensitive source code files to the public, making them accessible and potentially compromising the security of the Symfony application. To ensure source code security, Symfony developers should configure the VirtualHost to point to the public directory where the front controller resides, rather than the root of the project directory. 

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName example.com
    DocumentRoot /path/to/symfony/public
    <Directory /path/to/symfony/public>
        AllowOverride All
        Order Allow,Deny
        Allow from All
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>
