Hey guys just seeting up YII ! , well downloaded YII 1.1.15 , unziped the file .
after that went to my htdocs folder and created a folder YII , Then ;
went back to the unziped files , deleted everything except the folder that said "Framework" , went inside that folder and copied all the files and pasted them in th YII(which is inside HTdocs) . so basically i have this :
- Htdocs
- YII
- All the files that i copy pasted from the "FRamework folder" .
now what else do i need or need to check to be up and running ? do i need to check the PHP version i am running , mysql version i am running ? :
one more thing , in one of the installation tuts the author says that , i will need the following extensions ,
- PHPmysql,
- PHP_gd2
- PHP_pdo_mysql .
where do i fine these and where do i put them ??
Anybody using YII here , just needed some Installation help

Re: Anybody using YII here , just needed some Installation
Those extensions will be in your distribution's package manager and are most likely already installed. You can check with phpinfo or by running php -i from the command line.
Re: Anybody using YII here , just needed some Installation
Also, have you followed the instructions in the installation guide? Where did you get stuck?
Re: Anybody using YII here , just needed some Installation
actually no where that i have found online is the installation very clear , so i finally taught of downloading a book "Web application development with YII and PHP " and see how to go about installing . even the video tuts on youtube are not that great ! .
Thanks though !
