#Yii Base Build With Bootstrap, Composer, etc...

###Yii Installation

###Yii Web Application ###=============================

####REQUIREMENTS ####------------ Apache 2 Web Server MySQL 5.1+ PHP 5.3+ Configured with the following extensions: PDO PDO MySQL APC GD2 Mcrypt Yii Framework v1.1.8 (Included in git project...no need to download)

###APACHE CHANGES ###============== Whichever apache site you use to run the app, you will need to add a few directives so that we can have friendly urls. Adding the following will get rid of the need to specify the root index.php file. Just add it to the Directory tag in your httpd-vhosts.conf file.

<VirtualHost *:80> <Directory "/Users/ben/Sites/yii/test/webapp"> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All Order deny,allow Allow from all Satisfy all

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

####APPLICATION INSTALLATION ####--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• Cloning this app from Github will result in the following: test/ README [this file] Yii-1.1.8/ [Yii framework files] webapp/ [the web application files]

Create assets and runtime directory. From within application root, do the following: mkdir webapp/assets chmod 777 webapp/assets mkdir webapp/protected/runtime chmod 777 webapp/protected/runtime

File Permissions Note: You may also have to adjust some other directory permissions so that they are writable by the Web server process. At a minimum, the webapp/assets/ and webapp/protected/runtime/ directories needs to be writable by your Web server process.

• Create a new database and mysql user account, and configure with appropriate permissions: CREATE DATABASE test; CREATE USER 'admin'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY ''; GRANT INSERT, SELECT, UPDATE, INDEX, DELETE, CREATE, DROP, ALTER, SHOW VIEW, CREATE VIEW ON test.* TO 'test_dbuser'@'localhost';

• Update /webapp/protected/config/main.php with the newly created mysql database name and credentials

• Run the data migration: From the Shell cd to /your/project/path/webapp % protected/yiic migrate
