Installation

The preferred way to install this project is through composer.

Create a project:

composer create-project --prefer-dist --stability=dev dominus77/yii2-advanced-start public_html

or clone the repository for pull command availability:

git clone https://github.com/Dominus77/yii2-advanced-start.git public_html
cd public_html
composer install

Init an environment:

Run command in the root directory public_html of the project

if Development environment

composer app-init-dev

if Production environment

composer app-init-prod

otherwise choose Wednesday

php init

Yii Application Requirement Checker

See http://sitename.com/requirements.php

Note: For production environment it is recommended to delete the frontend\web\requirements.php file

If everything is in order, move on, otherwise configure the server configuration.

Continue

Create a database, default configure yii2_advanced_start in common\config\main-local.php

$config = [
    //...
    'components' => [
        'db' => [
            'dsn' => 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=yii2_advanced_start',
            //...
        ],
        //...
    ],
    //...
];

Apply migration:

composer migrate-up

Initialization RBAC:

composer rbac-init

Create user, enter the command and follow the instructions:

php yii users/user/create

• Username: set username (admin);
• Email: set email (admin@example.com);
• Password: set password (min 6 symbol);
• Status: set status (0 - blocked, 1 - active, 2 - wait, ? - Help);

Assign role admin:

php yii rbac/roles/assign

• Username: set username (admin);
• Role: set role (admin, editor, manager, super_admin, user, ? - Help); (This set configure rbac module models Role.php, Permission.php and in folder components to RbacInit.php)

If you are installing the server into the public_html folder on the server with Apache, you must configure redirection. At the root folder, create a public_html .hitaccess with the following content:

Options FollowSymLinks
AddDefaultCharset utf-8

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On

    # the main rewrite rule for the frontend application
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(backend/web|admin)
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(api/web|api)
    RewriteRule !^frontend/web /frontend/web%{REQUEST_URI} [L]

    # redirect to the page without a trailing slash (uncomment if necessary)
    #RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/admin/$
    #RewriteRule ^(admin)/ /$1 [L,R=301]
    # the main rewrite rule for the backend application
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/admin
    RewriteRule ^admin(.*) /backend/web/$1 [L]

    # redirect to the page without a trailing slash (uncomment if necessary)
    #RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/api/$
    #RewriteRule ^(api)/ /$1 [L,R=301]
    # the main rewrite rule for the api application
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/api
    RewriteRule ^api(.*) /api/web/$1 [L]

    # if a directory or a file of the frontend application exists, use the request directly
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/frontend/web
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    # otherwise forward the request to index.php
    RewriteRule . /frontend/web/index.php [L]

    # if a directory or a file of the backend application exists, use the request directly
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/backend/web
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    # otherwise forward the request to index.php
    RewriteRule . /backend/web/index.php [L]

    # if a directory or a file of the api application exists, use the request directly
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/api/web
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    # otherwise forward the request to index.php
    RewriteRule . /api/web/index.php [L]

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \.(htaccess|htpasswd|svn|git)
    RewriteRule \.(htaccess|htpasswd|svn|git) - [F]
</IfModule>

The web folder, the backend, frontend and api parts also add .hitaccess:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . index.php

Now frontend is available at http://sitename.com, and backend at http://sitename.com/admin, and api http://sitename.com/api/v1/users

            'dsn' => 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=yii2_advanced_start_test',
