Note sure if this is ‘best practice’, but I wanted more programatic control over the home page. Since by default Yii calls the SiteController actionIndex method you can use this to redirect the home page. For example:

config/main.php

may be change:

‘defaultController’=>‘site’ =>>> ‘defaultController’=>‘home’
