Hi,
I am using yii 2 basic application template. I have a VPS server and have hosted. Everything is working fine. I am using RBAC for Authorization of users. It is also working fine. Now I want to run the command yii rbac/init using putty on my server. When I do that, it gives me foll error.’
]$ yii rbac/init
-bash: yii: command not found
How should I resolve this error?
You need to use ./yii rbac/init and make yii executable first using chmod +x yii
Hi,
I used php yii rbac/init, and it got executed successfully,
To further your understanding, about executing shell commands:
The yii script is a PHP script, so you can invoke the php binary like you did to execute it, or:
That particular script ships with a “shebang”:
#!/usr/bin/env php <- This line
<?php
/**
* Yii console bootstrap file.
*
It’s an indication for the shell you’re using, so that it knows how to execute that file.
That allow you to do : sh yii to have it executed through the PHP binary found in your environment.
And finally, if you make that file executable (chmod +x) then you can call ./yii instead of sh yii to execute it.
Hope this will clear some confusion
