REQUIREMENTS

The minimum requirement by this application template that your Web server supports PHP 5.4.0.

INSTALLATION

Install via Composer

If you do not have Composer, you may install it by following the instructions at getcomposer.org.

for example:

# php -r "readfile('https://getcomposer.org/installer');" | php

You can then load framework/extension using the following command:

# php composer.phar global require "fxp/composer-asset-plugin:1.1.0"
# php -f composer.phar update

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.

Run command init to initialize the application with a specific environment.
Create a new database and adjust the components['db'] configuration in common/config/main-local.php accordingly.
Apply migrations with console command yii migrate. This will create tables needed for the application to work.

# yii migrate

Create user "admin" and default RBAC. Default password use from common\config\params.php

# yii rbac/init

Create domain my-yii2-app.dev and forward to root folder yii2_start_app_template and use:

- alias to frontend `http://my-yii2-app.dev/`
- alias to backend `http://my-yii2-app.dev/admin`
