Yii 1 with Yii 2 guide

Yii 2.0 General Discussions

I know this issue has been discussed quite a few times, but i still don’t seem able to sort out an issue i am facing.

I fillow the instructions on https://www.yiiframework.com/doc/guide/2.0/en/tutorial-yii-integration#using-both-yii2-yii1 however, i probably miss something.
According to the instuctions you fetch yiisoft/yii2 using composer, but there is no mention to initialize / install the project like basic or advanced template, so that you have a complete yii2 structure.

Later on the same text there is a guiedeline

// configuration for Yii 2 application
$yii2Config = require DIR . ‘/…/config/yii2/web.php’;
new yii\web\Application($yii2Config); // Do NOT call run(), yii2 app is only used as service locator

However, since Yii2 hasn’t been initialized, where is config/yii2/web.php supposed to be found?

Any help would be much appreciated

It is a tutorial for using Yii 2 components within Yii 1.1 application. It seem you need something else.

I was thinking of using Yii 2 components as an intermediate step instead of migrating directly our Yii 1 application to Yii 2, and later on, to perform a full migrate. But although i follow the steps, i keep getting errors, and one of them, is the path of the

$yii2Config = require DIR . ‘/…/config/yii2/web.php’;

config file.

You specify the config path yourself so you can adjust the place it is stored at…

Thank you for the reply Alexander, ok, this seems somehow more clear now, but what does this config/web.php consist of? for example, in the yii1 installation you already have the basic config in the protected/config directory, but by just fetching yii2 through composer and not bootstraping the installation, you don’t have a yii2 config file in place to start editing.
Perhaps this is the part that i m missing!?

Something like https://github.com/yiisoft/yii2-app-basic/blob/master/config/web.php

But check how it works in https://www.yiiframework.com/doc/guide/2.0/en/concept-configurations

I think this sounds like the missing part, at least to what i expected :slight_smile: Thank you very much, i ll give it a try this way.

I faced one more minor issue, but it was already covered here Integrate Yii2 Into Yii1 . Was related with CLogger and commenting out

bootstrap => [‘log’]

worked for me as well
