Symfony2: No route found for "GET /sitemap.xml"

Question

When I request sitemap.xml, I'm getting No route found for "GET /sitemap.xml". I need to serve sitemap.xml from the /web folder. So some reason Symfony starts to look for a route. I think config.yml is messed up. I'm using FOSRestBundle which works fine but might interfere with routing.

Relevant parts from the config.yml:

framework:
    translator: { fallback: en }
    secret:          %secret%
    router:
        resource: "%kernel.root_dir%/config/routing.yml"
        strict_requirements: ~
    form:            ~
    csrf_protection:
        enabled:        false
    validation:      { enable_annotations: true }
    templating:
        engines: ['twig']
        #assets_version: SomeVersionScheme
    default_locale:  "%locale%"
    trusted_proxies: ~
    session:
        save_path: %kernel.root_dir%/var/sessions
    fragments:       ~
fos_rest:
    cache_dir:      %kernel.cache_dir%/fos_rest
    routing_loader:
        default_format: json
    service:
        templating: templating
        serializer: jms_serializer.serializer
    serializer:
        serialize_null: false
    param_fetcher_listener: force
    body_listener: true
    body_converter:
        enabled: true
    format_listener:
        rules:
            - { path: '^/api', fallback_format: json } 
            - { path: '^/', priorities: [ 'html', '*/*'], fallback_format: html, prefer_extension: true }
    view:
        default_engine: twig
        formats:
            json: true
        view_response_listener: forcebundle
    unauthorized_challenge: "" 
    access_denied_listener:
        json: true    
    exception:
        codes:
            'Symfony\Component\Routing\Exception\ResourceNotFoundException': 404
        messages:
            'Symfony\Component\Routing\Exception\ResourceNotFoundException': true
            'Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\HttpException': true

Nope. The issue here is in your .htaccess or similar rewrite mechanism.

The default .htaccess that ships with Symfony inncludes these rules:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule .? - [L]

which means, "if a an actual file exists, just serve it". In your case this rule is not applied for some reasons, so everything is passed on to app.php and Symfony routing, but Symfony has no /sitemap.xml route, thus the 404 error.
