Hello, I would like to use external application install as a folder in my Yii application like.
mysite is a Yii powered app and qa folder is a question2answer app that will run independently from Yii app. How can I tell Yii to omit qa folder from calling any controller?
Thank you

Do you need to tell it?
I am doing this successfully.
Do you face any issues? 
do you mind share your methods of doing that , i am interested in it ; 
such as how access from yii app to another app(not with yii framework) :
someController:someAction(){
<img src='http://www.yiiframework.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/huh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='???' />? <img src='http://www.yiiframework.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />
}
Haven’t really tried that, to be honest - accessing the embedded app from Yii.
But, it should be as simple as adding the app just like you would any vendor:
Yii::import.
How to call Yii from the external app?
Well…
The best way would be to expose an API - like REST.
Hi,
easiest way is to use a specific rule in your .htaccess file (as far as you turned on .htaccess)
example:
# your qa application (for example hosted in protected/qa)
RewriteRule ^qa/(.*)$ protected/qa/$1 [L,QSA]
# yii default rule
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)\?*$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]
Additionally you have to enable access to your independent app through .htaccess in protected/qa/.htaccess:
allow from all
