Developer Lost; where do I point Apache to?

Yii 2.0 General Discussions
1

I’m following Git workflow for Yii 2 contributors and have what appears to be a proper distribution locally. Wanted to test that it’s working before I start loading the Extension that I want to work on.

My perplexing problem is figuring out where in the git tree should I be pointing apache?

Thanks In Advance.

apps/basic/web/. Check ./build/build dev/app command.

Thank-you @samdark. I have apps/basic/ but no web. I’ll redo the build/build dev/app.

4

Did the build/build still no web directory. I’ll erase and start all over tonight.

@samdark Restarted from scratch. Still no app/basic/web directory…

url is slightly different 'cause I’m on a mac and have to use ~/.ssh/config to get the key to github.

Aha!

Should have been php build/build dev/app basic github:BillHeaton/yii2-app-basic.git so clone https://github.com/yiisoft/yii2-app-basic to your profile first.

@samdark Thank-you!

Yes! I now have a app/basic/web with the expected files in it. It makes sense in a perverted way. It would appear that the instructions need to be updated slightly.

If you are going to work with PHP:

  • Fork the Yii-app-basic repository on GitHub.
  • Run php build/build dev/app basic <fork> to clone the basic app and install composer dependencies for the basic app. <fork> is URL of your repository fork such as git@github.com:my_nickname/yii2-app-basic.git . If you are core framework contributor you may skip specifying fork. This command will install foreign composer packages as normal but will link the yii2 repo to the currently checked out repo, so you have one instance of all the code installed.
  • cd yii2/apps/basic/web
  • php composer.phar require --prefer-dist yiisoft/yii2-bootstrap4
  • edit yii2/apps/basic/web/config/web.php and set cookieValidationKey
10

It is described in https://github.com/yiisoft/yii2/blob/master/docs/internals/git-workflow.md#prepare-your-development-environment including fork for the basic template.

Lost Changes? It says:

  • run php build/build dev/app basic <fork> to clone the basic app and install composer dependencies for the basic app. <fork> is URL of your repository fork such as git@github.com:my_nickname/yii2-app-basic.git . If you are core framework contributor you may skip specifying fork. This command will install foreign composer packages as normal but will link the yii2 repo to the currently checked out repo, so you have one instance of all the code installed.Do the same for the advanced app if needed: php build/build dev/app advanced <fork> .This command will also be used to update dependencies, it runs composer update internally.

However, it is up and working. Now to get the extension in place. Thank-you again for your help.
