Yii 1.1 Installation and Setup
1

Hi, perhaps that helps someone:

I’ve been trying to install Yii on localhost as per the “Creating First Yii Application” tutorial.

Just wanted to say that when using MySQL and modifying the config/main.php script accordingly, besides of modifying dbname, dbuser and password I also had to change localhost and write 127.0.0.1 instead.

I use localhost and it works very well …

Mayby depends on your OS / Webserver (?)

May be. That happend to me on a Fedora 12 using XAMPP (from the apachefriends.org fellows).

I just posted it for the records in case someone’s looking it up.
