Remove 'web' from Symfony 1.4 path on shared hosting? - .htaccess

Question

I've found a lot of helpful information about installing Symfony 1.4 on a shared hosting plan, but I've run into a stumbling block that's confounded me all day.
Going to http://www.alternium.net/jobeet/index.php returns a 404 instead of the file at http://www.alternium.net/jobeet/web/index.php.
/jobeet/.htaccess:
Options +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI
# Enable rewrite engine and route requests to framework
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/robots.txt
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /jobeet/web/robots.txt [L]
# resources
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/images/ [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/js/ [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/fonts/ [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/css/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /jobeet/web/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/jobeet/web/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/frontend_dev.php
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /jobeet/web/index.php/$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} frontend_dev.php
RewriteRule ^$ /jobeet/web/$1 [QSA,L]
/jobeet/web/.htaccess:
Options +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
# uncomment the following line, if you are having trouble
# getting no_script_name to work
#RewriteBase /
# we skip all files with .something
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \..+$
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.html$
#RewriteRule .* - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \..+$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.html$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.php
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.php
RewriteRule .* - [L]
# we check if the .html version is here (caching)
RewriteRule ^$ index.html [QSA]
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.html [QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
# no, so we redirect to our front web controller
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [QSA,L]
</IfModule>
Can anyone with a better understanding than I of Symfony or rewrite rules tell me where I'm going wrong?

If you have a private folder on your shared host (like on plesk hosts) you can put all your symfony folders (expect web/) in your private folder. Then you have to adjust your web dir in the symfony configs and the path to your ProjectConfiguration in your front controller (index.php or frontend_dev.php, ...).
