Shared Hosting Environment
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
Shared hosting environments are often quite limited about configuration and directory structure. Still in most cases you
|
|
can run Yii 2.0 on a shared hosting environment with a few adjustments.
|
|
|
|
## Deploying a basic project template
|
|
|
|
Since in a shared hosting environment there's typically only one webroot, use the basic project template if you can.
|
|
Refer to the [Installing Yii chapter](start-installation.md) and install the basic project template locally.
|
|
After you have the application working locally, we'll make some adjustments so it can be hosted on your shared hosting
|
|
server.
|
|
|
|
### Renaming webroot <span id="renaming-webroot"></span>
|
|
|
|
Connect to your shared host using FTP or by other means. You will probably see something like the following.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
config
|
|
logs
|
|
www
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In the above, `www` is your webserver webroot directory. It could be named differently. Common names are: `www`,
|
|
`htdocs`, and `public_html`.
|
|
|
|
The webroot in our basic project template is named `web`. Before uploading the application to your webserver rename
|
|
your local webroot to match your server, i.e., from `web` to `www`, `public_html` or whatever the name of your hosting
|
|
webroot.
|
|
|
|
### FTP root directory is writeable
|
|
|
|
If you can write to the root level directory i.e. where `config`, `logs` and `www` are, then upload `assets`, `commands`
|
|
etc. as is to the root level directory.
|
|
|
|
### Add extras for webserver <span id="add-extras-for-webserver"></span>
|
|
|
|
If your webserver is Apache you'll need to add an `.htaccess` file with the following content to `web`
|
|
(or `public_html` or whatever) (where the `index.php` file is located):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Options +FollowSymLinks
|
|
IndexIgnore */*
|
|
|
|
RewriteEngine on
|
|
|
|
# if a directory or a file exists, use it directly
|
|
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
|
|
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
|
|
|
|
# otherwise forward it to index.php
|
|
RewriteRule . index.php
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In case of nginx you should not need any extra config files.
|
|
|
|
### Check requirements
|
|
|
|
In order to run Yii, your webserver must meet its requirements. The very minimum requirement is PHP 5.4. In order to
|
|
check the requirements copy `requirements.php` from your root directory into the webroot directory and run it via
|
|
browser using `http://example.com/requirements.php` URL. Don't forget to delete the file afterwards.
|
|
|
|
## Deploying an advanced project template
|
|
|
|
Deploying an advanced application to shared hosting is a bit trickier than a basic application but it could be achieved.
|
|
Follow instructions described in
|
|
[advanced project template documentation](https://github.com/yiisoft/yii2-app-advanced/blob/master/docs/guide/topic-shared-hosting.md).
