It is important to have access to the command line of your server because this is the beauty of yii that you can run a command line to create the skeleton application.
Once you have the framework in the server navigate to the folder you want to create the application and run the folowing command:
php YiiRoot/framework/yiic.php webapp myapp
This will create the main structure of the app.
To change the database connection go to:
WebRoot/myapp/protected/config/main.php
To change the main variables of the application go to:
WebRoot/myapp/protected/config/main.php
Add the users table to the application to start to play with de models creator to implement the curd functionality.
You can find the mySql script at:
We will use the GI web application included in Yii to create the models.
Go first to the config file uncomment the gi functionality and add a password. You will need also to add your external id (google whats my ip) to avoid the 403 error when you run the gi tool:
WebRoot/myapp/protected/config/main.php
Now you are ready for rock and roll point the browser to:
myapp/index.php?r=gii
You will need to login with the password provided in the main.php
You now can use the model generator to create the models base in the table and then the curd generator to create the curd functionality.
