The minimum requirement by this project template that your Web server supports PHP 5.4.0.
If you do not have Composer, you may install it by following the instructions at getcomposer.org.
You can then install this project template using the following command:
php composer.phar global require "fxp/composer-asset-plugin:~1.1.0"
php composer.phar create-project --prefer-dist --stability=dev maxhero/yii2-books books
Now you should be able to access the application through the following URL, assuming books
is the directory
directly under the Web root.
http://localhost/books/web/
Edit the file config/db.php
with real data, for example:
return [
'class' => 'yii\db\Connection',
'dsn' => 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=books',
'username' => 'root',
'password' => '1234',
'charset' => 'utf8',
];
NOTES:
- Yii won't create the database for you, this has to be done manually before you can access it.
- Check and edit the other files in the
config/
directory to customize your application as required.
