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 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, you may download it from http://getcomposer.org/ or run the following command on Linux/Unix/MacOS:

curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php

You can then install the Bootstrap Application using the following command:

php composer.phar create-project --stability=dev yiisoft/yii2-app-advanced yii-advanced

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.

Install from an Archive File

This is not currently available. We will provide it when Yii 2 is formally released.
