There are times when there is no need or no possibility to place the frontend and backend parts on different domains. Here are the instructions for configuration of the Apache or Nginx web servers for use multiple applications on the same domain.
Final frontend URL: http://advanced.local
Final backend URL: http://advanced.local/admin
You need to make some changes to the configuration files of the applications according to the bundled advanced/frontend/config/main.php and advanced/backend/config/main.php files.
The first thing to do is to execute the following command with enough permissions to make sure whether the mod_rewrite module is enabled:
[ -f /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/rewrite* ] && echo "Found" || echo "Not Found"If the Not Found message appears, just execute the a2enmod rewrite command and restart the Apache server.
Now you can to use the configuration specified in the bundled vhosts/apache.conf file for setting up a virtual host. But don't forget to replace advanced.local with the actual hostname and /path/to/advanced with the actual path.
Note: If you have a shared hosting, simply copy the bundled
advanced/.htaccessfile to the root directory of your project.
The final step is to add to the contents of the main robots.txt file two rules from the bundled advanced/frontend/web/robots.txt file.
In this case, use only the configuration of the bundled vhosts/nginx.conf file. If you don't like advanced.local as a hostname, change it. Replace also /path/to/advanced with the actual path to your project.
