Yii is a modern, high-performance PHP framework that makes developing web applications faster and more secure. With its elegant MVC architecture, built-in tools, and extensive features, Yii is a popular choice for both small and large projects. In this guide, we\u2019ll walk you through How to install Yii Framework on Ubuntu and running it with Apache in just a few simple steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Update Your System<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before starting, make sure your system packages are up to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Step 2: Install Apache, PHP, and Required Extensions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Yii requires PHP 7.4 or later along with some common extensions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo apt install apache2 php php-cli php-mbstring php-xml php-curl php-zip php-intl unzip -y<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Enable Apache\u2019s rewrite module:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo a2enmod rewrite\nsudo systemctl enable apache2\nsudo systemctl restart apache2<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Step 3: Install Composer<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Composer is the PHP dependency manager that handles Yii installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Check installation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
composer --version<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Step 4: Create a New Yii Project<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Move to your web root and create a new Yii application using Composer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
cd \/var\/www\/html\ncomposer create-project --prefer-dist yiisoft\/yii2-app-basic yiitest<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Step 5: Configure Apache for Yii<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Create a new Apache configuration file:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo nano \/etc\/apache2\/sites-available\/yiitest.conf<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Add the following configuration:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<VirtualHost *:80>\n    ServerName yourdomain.com\n    DocumentRoot \/var\/www\/html\/yiitest\/web\n<Directory \/var\/www\/html\/yiitest\/web>\n        AllowOverride All\n        Require all granted\n    <\/Directory>\n\n    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}\/yiitest-error.log\n    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}\/yiitest-access.log combined\n<\/VirtualHost><\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Enable the new site and restart Apache:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo a2ensite yiitest.conf\nsudo systemctl reload apache2<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Note: You can secure your Yii application using a free SSL certificate if you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 6: Verify Installation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Open your browser and go to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
http://yourdomain.com<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
You should see the Yii welcome page as shown below, confirming that your installation is successful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Install<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
