creating first webapp

Yii 1.1 Installation and Setup
1

Hi, I decided to try out Yii rather than Cake PHP but I’m already running into some problems. First, I am running on a dreamhost account so I suspect this might be giving me some issues but not sure yet. I tried creating a webapp like this:

sudo php yiic webapp mywebapp /home/user/domain.com/

The strange thing is that the script asks me if I’m sure I want to install in /home/user/domain.com/yii/framework/ which to me is a little weird because I clearly said to place the webapp in /home/user/domain.com/ Is this a pathing issue?

So I placed the webapp domain.com/yii/framework/ but now I can’t access domain.com/yii/framework/mywebapp/index.html to test whether the application works or not (403 Forbidden). I’m confused about this since I ran the yiic command as root. Any ideas? Also, will I have any trouble placing webapps in domain.com/yii/framework/ directory? What is the preferred place for webapps? Thanks!

Any help? Surprised that this is the "most popular php framework" but this forum is a dead zone. just want to figure out why yiic insisted on placing files there. Thanks!

yiic webapp only expects one argument, so the right command would be:

[color=#444444][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]


sudo php yiic webapp /home/user/domain.com/

[/size][/font][/color]

Hey Mike, I really appreciate the reply… I was expecting that I had to name the webapp when installing it, so what it was doing was creating a webapp called "mywebapp" inside the same folder where i was running the command from. Thanks for clarifying that!
