Why my symfony project under www on wamp doesn't run

I have just setup a wamp server on non standard port (80XX), installed pear, download and setup symfony project with this tutorial here: http://trac.symfony-project.org/wiki/HowToInstallSymfonyOnWindowsWithWamp

At final step, since I put it on www\sfproject the page here http://www.symfony-project.org/getting-started/1_4/en/05-Web-Server-Configuration says that it should now run. But when testing it does only show the files content:

apps/        
cache/       
config/      
data/        
lib/         
log/     
plugins/         
symfony  
symfony.bat  
test/    -   
web/

What's wrong ?

Update: some people think I have misunderstood config. No as I said I didn't want to configure a virtual domain, I just want it to run under www though it's not secure as they said I don't care it's just for local usage.

That's the problem with these bloated opensource frameworks: documentation, setup of poor quality, nobody really checks.

Your configuration doesn't seem correct. You should be pointing your web server to the web folder, not to the Symfony project folder directly. – richsage

In which case, you need to point whatever folder you are using for DocumentRoot at the web folder. This is where the front controllers are eg index.php and so on. Otherwise your setup will not work. Side note: complaining about the framework on SO is not likely to endear people to your cause :-) – richsage
Can you include your config from your httpd.conf file – Manse
Well it's a big file. But it's just standard Wamp file I didn't modify it since I don't want to use vhost. – user310291

The site probably works when navigating to localhost:80XX/sfproject/web . You can either create a vhost or symlink /Application/MAMP/htdocs to sfproject/web but that's not recommended.
