co-existence of Symfony and wordpress in single webserver - wordpress

Question

I have implemented my website in symfony2.4, but my blog in configured and installed in wordpress instance.
my wesite is under /var/www/html/website/ and the DocumentRoot is in httpd.cont is set to /var/www/html/website/web folder of symfony.
my wordpress is installed in /var/www/html/blog - I have created a soft link of the same in Symfony's web folder. But the wordpress site does not seem to work.
is there anything else that i need to configure?
my .htaccess file from sumfony's web folder looks something like this:
enter code here
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
# Determine the RewriteBase automatically and set it as environment variable.
# If you are using Apache aliases to do mass virtual hosting or installed the
# project in a subdirectory, the base path will be prepended to allow proper
# resolution of the app.php file and to redirect to the correct URI. It will
# work in environments without path prefix as well, providing a safe, one-size
# fits all solution. But as you do not need it in this case, you can comment
# the following 2 lines to eliminate the overhead.
# RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}::$1 ^(/.+)/(.*)::\2$
# RewriteRule ^(.*) - [E=BASE:%1]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mywebsite\.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.mywebsite.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/blog
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ app.php [QSA,L]
# Redirect to URI without front controller to prevent duplicate content
# (with and without `/app.php`). Only do this redirect on the initial
# rewrite by Apache and not on subsequent cycles. Otherwise we would get an
# endless redirect loop (request -> rewrite to front controller ->
# redirect -> request -> ...).
# So in case you get a "too many redirects" error or you always get redirected
# to the start page because your Apache does not expose the REDIRECT_STATUS
# environment variable, you have 2 choices:
# - disable this feature by commenting the following 2 lines or
# - use Apache >= 2.3.9 and replace all L flags by END flags and remove the
# following RewriteCond (best solution)
#RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
#RewriteRule ^app\.php(/(.*)|$) %{ENV:BASE}/$2 [R=301,L]
# If the requested filename exists, simply serve it.
# We only want to let Apache serve files and not directories.
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
#RewriteRule .? - [L]
# Rewrite all other queries to the front controller.
#RewriteRule .? %{ENV:BASE}/app.php [L]
</IfModule>
<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
<IfModule mod_alias.c>
# When mod_rewrite is not available, we instruct a temporary redirect of
# the start page to the front controller explicitly so that the website
# and the generated links can still be used.
RedirectMatch 302 ^/$ /app.php/
# RedirectTemp cannot be used instead
</IfModule>
</IfModule>

I've managed to make the two cohabit with this .htaccess
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName yourdomain.com
#path to symfony
DocumentRoot "path/web"
AddDefaultCharset utf-8
DirectoryIndex app.php
<Directory "/path/web">
RewriteEngine On
Options +MultiViews
<IfVersion >= 2.3>
Require all granted
</IfVersion>
AllowOverride All
Allow from All
</Directory>
#path to blog
Alias /blog "/otherpath/blog"
<Directory /otherpath/blog>
DirectoryIndex index.php
RewriteEngine On
Options +MultiViews
<IfVersion >= 2.3>
Require all granted
</IfVersion>
AllowOverride All
Allow from All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
