REQUIREMENTS
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
The minimum requirement by this project template that your Web server supports PHP 5.4.0.
|
|
|
|
|
|
INSTALLATION
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
### Install from an Archive File
|
|
|
|
Extract the archive file downloaded from [yiiframework.com](http://www.yiiframework.com/download/) to
|
|
a directory named `basic` that is directly under the Web root.
|
|
|
|
Set cookie validation key in `config/web.php` file to some random secret string:
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
'request' => [
|
|
// !!! insert a secret key in the following (if it is empty) - this is required by cookie validation
|
|
'cookieValidationKey' => '<secret random string goes here>',
|
|
],
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can then access the application through the following URL:
|
|
|
|
~~~
|
|
http://localhost/basic/web/
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Install via Composer
|
|
|
|
If you do not have [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/), you may install it by following the instructions
|
|
at [getcomposer.org](http://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md#installation-nix).
|
|
|
|
You can then install this project template using the following command:
|
|
|
|
~~~
|
|
php composer.phar global require "fxp/composer-asset-plugin:~1.0.0"
|
|
php composer.phar create-project --prefer-dist --stability=dev yiisoft/yii2-app-basic basic
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
Now you should be able to access the application through the following URL, assuming `basic` is the directory
|
|
directly under the Web root.
|
|
|
|
~~~
|
|
http://localhost/basic/web/
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
|
|
CONFIGURATION
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
### Database
|
|
|
|
Edit the file `config/db.php` with real data, for example:
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
return [
|
|
'class' => 'yii\db\Connection',
|
|
'dsn' => 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=yii2basic',
|
|
'username' => 'root',
|
|
'password' => '1234',
|
|
'charset' => 'utf8',
|
|
];
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**NOTE:** Yii won't create the database for you, this has to be done manually before you can access it.
|
|
|
|
Also check and edit the other files in the `config/` directory to customize your application.
