Anybody using YII here , just needed some Installation help

Post by gautamz07 »

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 ??

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.

Also, have you followed the instructions in the installation guide? Where did you get stuck?
