directory and add below content.
<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName symphony3.example.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/myproj/web

    <Directory /var/www/myproj/web>
        AllowOverride All
        Order Allow,Deny
        Allow from All
        <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
            Options -MultiViews
            RewriteEngine On
            RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
            RewriteRule ^(.*)$ app.php [QSA,L]
        </IfModule>
    </Directory>
