Silex, in symbollically liked subdirectory, does not route

I have a Silex project. Works on localhost(using php.exe) but I've just transferred it to a subdirectory of an existing website. For example:

www.website.foo/silex/

On the site, because of funky existing routing, the silex app is symbolically linked in the webroot under a /silex/ folder, but is actually elsewhere in the filesystem. The index page works.

I wasn't using an .htaccess file, but I copied the one from the documentation, but it hasn't gotten me anywhere.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    Options -MultiViews

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /var/www/webroot/silex/
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]

I am at a complete loss as to why it doesn't work, let alone what to change to fix it.

Edited .htaccess

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    Options -MultiViews

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /silex/
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]

Question Does the .htaccess file have to be in the root directory? Or is being in the application directory fine?

Your RewriteBase directive is wrong, its related to web root, not your filesystem structure, so just use RewriteBase /silex/
