Yii 2 Advanced Application Template
|
|
|
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**NOTE** Yii 2 and the relevant applications and extensions are still under heavy
|
|
|
|
|
development. We may make significant changes without prior notices. Please do not
|
|
|
|
|
use them for production. Please consider using [Yii v1.1](https://github.com/yiisoft/yii)
|
|
|
|
|
if you have a project to be deployed for production soon.

Thank you for using Yii 2 Advanced Application Template - an application template
|
|
|
|
|
that works out-of-box and can be easily customized to fit for your needs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yii 2 Advanced Application Template is best suitable for large projects requiring frontend and backstage separation,
|
|
|
|
|
deployment in different environments, configuration nesting etc.

REQUIREMENTS
|
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The minimum requirement by Yii is that your Web server supports PHP 5.3.?.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
INSTALLATION
|
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Install via Composer
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you do not have [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/), you may download it from
|
|
|
|
|
[http://getcomposer.org/](http://getcomposer.org/) or run the following command on Linux/Unix/MacOS:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
|
curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php
|
|
|
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can then install the application using the following command:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
|
php composer.phar create-project --stability=dev yiisoft/yii2-app-advanced yii-advanced
|
|
|
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Install from an Archive File
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is not currently available. We will provide it when Yii 2 is formally released.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Install from development repository
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you've cloned the [Yii 2 framework main development reop](https://github.com/yiisoft/yii2) you
|
|
|
|
|
can bootstrap your application with:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
|
cd yii2/apps/advanced
|
|
|
|
|
php composer.phar create-project
|
|
|
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GETTING STARTED
|
|
|
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After you install the application, you have to conduct the following steps to initialize
|
|
|
|
|
the installed application. You only need to do these once for all.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Execute the `init` command and select `dev` as environment.
|
|
|
|
|
2. Create a new database. It is assumed that MySQL InnoDB is used. If not, adjust `console/migrations/m130524_201442_init.php`.
|
|
|
|
|
3. In `common/config/params.php` set your database details in `components.db` values.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now you should be able to access:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- the frontend using the URL `http://localhost/yii-advanced/frontend/www/`
|
|
|
|
|
- the backstage using the URL `http://localhost/yii-advanced/backstage/www/`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
assuming `yii-advanced` is directly under the document root of your Web server.
|
|
|
|
