I have inherited a YII implementation and I am trying to understand the risks if any to changing the YII directory structure. I do not what to source code control my content so I would like to change the tree structure. I am also thinking that it will make implementing Amazon S3 with EC2 will be easier because the framework can run on one S3 server and I can have my content distributed on EC2.
Today the basePath is set to a directory of the companyname. Inside that directory is a Yii director and htdocs. The htdocs directory contains an image, video, and audio directories that contain the content.
I would like to see the a new directory added under the basePath named content and move the image, video, and audio directory out from underneath htdocs into the new content directory
Does this make sense and do you foresee any problems if I make this change?
