Yii§

To run apps based on the Yii framework versions 1.1 or 2.0 using Unit:

Install Unit with a PHP language module.
Next, install Yii and create or deploy your app.
Here, we use Yii’s basic project template and Composer:
```
$ cd /path/to/
$ composer create-project --prefer-dist yiisoft/yii2-app-basic app
```
This creates the app’s directory tree at /path/to/app/. Its web/ subdirectory contains both the root index.php and the static files; if your app requires additional .php scripts, also store them here.

Prepare and upload the app configuration to Unit (note the use of uri, share, and fallback):

{
    "listeners": {
        "*:80": {
            "pass": "routes/yii"
        }
    },

    "routes": {
        "yii": [
            {
                "match": {
                    "uri": [
                        "!/assets/*",
                        "*.php",
                        "*.php/*"
                    ]
                },

                "action": {
                    "pass": "applications/yii/direct"
                }
            },
            {
                "action": {
                    "share": "/path/to/app/web/",
                    "fallback": {
                        "pass": "applications/yii/index"
                    }
                }
            }
        ]
    },

    "applications": {
        "yii": {
            "type": "php",
            "user": "www-data",
            "targets": {
                "direct": {
                    "root": "/path/to/app/web/"
                },

                "index": {
                    "root": "/path/to/app/web/",
                    "script": "index.php"
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

For a detailed discussion, see Configuring Web Servers and Running Applications in Yii 2.0 docs.

Note

The difference between the pass targets is their usage of the script setting:

The direct target runs the .php script from the URI or index.php if the URI omits it.
The index target specifies the script that Unit runs for any URIs the target receives.

Upload the configuration to Unit. Assuming the config above is saved as yii.json:

# curl -X PUT --data-binary @yii.json --unix-socket \
       /path/to/control.unit.sock http://localhost/config

Finally, browse to http://localhost:80 to check out your app locally:

Yii 1.1

Install Unit with a PHP language module.
Next, install Yii and create or deploy your app.
Here, we use Yii’s basic project template and yiic:
```
$ git clone git@github.com:yiisoft/yii.git /path/to/yii1.1/
$ /path/to/yii1.1/framework/yiic webapp /path/to/app
```
This creates the app’s directory tree at /path/to/app/.

Prepare and upload the app configuration to Unit (note the use of uri, share, and fallback):

{
    "listeners": {
        "*:80": {
            "pass": "routes/yii"
        }
    },

    "routes": {
        "yii": [
            {
                "match": {
                    "uri": [
                        "!/assets/*",
                        "!/protected/*",
                        "!/themes/*",
                        "*.php",
                        "*.php/*"
                    ]
                },

                "action": {
                    "pass": "applications/yii/direct"
                }
            },
            {

                        "pass": "applications/yii/index"
                    }
                }
            }
        ]
    },

    "applications": {
        "yii": {
            "type": "php",
            "user": "www-data",

                },
                "index": {
                    "root": "/path/to/app/",
                    "script": "index.php"
                }
