Shared Hosting Environment
|
|
|
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Shared hosting environments are often quite limited about configuration and directory structure. Still in most cases
|
|
|
|
|
you can run Yii 2.0 on these.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Deploying basic application
|
|
|
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Since there's typically only one webroot it is recommended to use basic application template. Refer to
|
|
|
|
|
[Installing Yii chapter](start-installation.md) and install application template locally.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Add extras for webserver
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If webserver used is Apache you'll need to add `.htaccess` file with the following content to `web`
|
|
|
|
|
(where `index.php` is):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
Options +FollowSymLinks
|
|
|
|
|
IndexIgnore */*
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
RewriteEngine on
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# if a directory or a file exists, use it directly
|
|
|
|
|
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
|
|
|
|
|
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# otherwise forward it to index.php
|
|
|
|
|
RewriteRule . index.php
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In case of nginx you should not need any extra config files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Renaming webroot
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If after connecting to your shared hosting via FTP or by other means you're seeing something like the following, you're
|
|
|
|
|
most probably lucky.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
config/
|
|
|
|
|
logs/
|
|
|
|
|
www/
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the above `www` is webserver directory root (i.e. webroot). It could be named differently. Common names are: `www`,
|
|
|
|
|
`htdocs`, `public_html`. Since we have webroot in our basic application template named `web` we need to rename it to
|
|
|
|
|
whatever hosting webroot is before uploading.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### FTP root directory is writeable
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you can write to the root level directory i.e. where `config`, `logs` and `www` are, just upload `assets`, `commands`
|
|
|
|
|
etc. as is.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Check requirements
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In order to run Yii hosting should meet its requirements. The very minimum requirement is PHP 5.4. In order to check
|
|
|
|
|
the rest copy `requirements.php` from root directory into webroot directory and run it via browser using
|
|
|
|
|
`http://example.com/requirements.php` URL. Don't forget to delete the file afterwards.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Deploying advanced application
|
|
|
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Deploying advanced application to shared hosting is a bit trickier than doing it with basic application because it has
|
|
|
|
|
two webroots.
