It comes with an easy admin, so it is very easy to configure it for yii framework

• Add a new host

• Add PHP support

  Of course it must be already configured - see http://www.cherokee-project.com/doc/cookbook_php.html

• Add a rule for protected (settings see screenshot 1/2)

• • Folder /protected/
• • Restrict access to ip 127.0.0.1, so no one except your webserver can access the protected folder

• Add a rule for all not existing files (settings see screenshot 3/4)

• • Add rule "file exists" and invert it by clicking NOT
• • Choose handler redirection and add expression ^/(.*)$ => /index.php/$1

Save your settings or edit them as you need them. That’s it, you can start working with yii on cherokee.
