want to know how to change this

//localhost/yii2basic/web/index.

to this

//localhost/yii2basic

First, set up a virtual host, like this - if using Apache:


<VirtualHost *:80>

	DocumentRoot "/path/to/localhost/yii2basic/web/"

	ServerName local.yiiframework.com

	<Directory "/path/to/localhost/yii2basic/web/">

    	AllowOverride All

    	Require all granted

	</Directory>

</VirtualHost>

Then, enable pretty URLs in config/web.php;


    	// components

    	'urlManager' => [

        	'enablePrettyUrl' => true,

        	'showScriptName' => false,

    	]

Then, finally, drop a .htaccess file in yii2basic/web:


RewriteEngine on


# if a directory or a file exists, use it directly

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d


# otherwise forward it to index.php

RewriteRule . index.php

All of that will ensure that the basic Yii2 application is served out of the ‘web’ directory, and the URL that people see will be the ‘localhost/yii2basic’ or whatever you have set up in /etc/hosts.
