Sounds like what you are doing is correct, and it's the way I do it
(for local machine development). I create a separate vhost for each
Symfony site, tweak the paths, and add an entry to my hosts file.
If each each project has a lib/vendor/symfony folder you can run
different versions of Symfony on your machine.
You can also create separate vhosts for each of your apps within a
project. Create sub-directories under /web for each app, move the
front controller files into them, along with the css and images
folders or any other assets, and then tweak your vhost paths.
example:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin [email protected]
ServerName local.site
DocumentRoot /var/www/project/web/frontend
DirectoryIndex index.php
Alias /sf "/var/www/project/lib/vendor/symfony/data/web/sf"
ErrorDocument 400 /index.php/errors/error404
ErrorDocument 401 /index.php/errors/error404
ErrorDocument 403 /index.php/errors/error404
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php/errors/error404
<Directory "/var/www/project/lib/vendor/symfony/data/web/sf">
AllowOverride All
Allow from All
</Directory>
<Directory "/var/www/project/web/frontend">
AllowOverride All
Allow from All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Or if your apps share a lot of the same assets, keep all your common
files under /web and create aliases that point to them like this:
Alias /css "/var/www/project/web/css"
Alias /images "/var/www/project/web/images"
