Unable to create controller from shell

Yii 1.1 Installation and Setup
1

hello,

I’m new to YII, I just installed it and successfully created demo application.

Now when I tried to create controller I receive error message or it is created in the root of my HDD instead of in the demo application’s controller subfolder.

  1. When I "cd" to "demo" application and execute "./protected/yiic shell" from command line, I get the PHP generated error page. See the attached file.

  2. If I "cd" to YII installation folder and try to run "./demo/protected/yiic shell" shell executes OK, then I tried to enter : "controller message helloWorld" into the command line it returned this:


Yii Interactive Tool v1.1 (based on Yii v1.1.<img src='http://www.yiiframework.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='8)' />

Please type 'help' for help. Type 'exit' to quit.

>> controller message helloWorld

   generate MessageController.php

  unchanged helloWorld.php

  unchanged index.php


Controller 'message' has been created in the following file:

    /MessageController.php


You may access it in the browser using the following URL:

    hxxp://hostname/path/to/index.php?r=message


>>

as you can see the controller has been created in the root of my HDD instead of application folder.

What am I doing wrong ?

Try to create a new webapp in this way:

yiic webapp "/var/www/<yoursitename>"

and then launch shell in this way:

yiic shell /var/www/<yoursitename>/protected/config/main.php
