Symfony api/doc route shows 404 on live server, but is OK on localhost

I have deployed my Symfony 5 app on live server (production). I left my .env file with DEV variables.

Firstly my my homepage index.php was showing 404 URL not found on the server, so I had to execute ln -s public_src public and since that my homepage was showing fine.

However I required and implemented a NelmioApiDocBundle via composer and now my API doc route /api/doc is working only on localhost, on live server (production) the browser says 404 URL not found on the server.

How to fix it? Does it need another symlink?

Answer

You need to set the .htaccess file under public folder.
