Yii 2 Basic Application Template
================================

Yii 2 Basic Application Template is a skeleton Yii 2 application best for
rapidly creating small projects.

The template contains the basic features including user login/logout and a contact page.
It includes all commonly used configurations that would allow you to focus on adding new
features to your application.

DIRECTORY STRUCTURE
-------------------

assets/ contains assets definition
commands/ contains console commands (controllers)
config/ contains application configurations
controllers/ contains Web controller classes
mail/ contains view files for e-mails
models/ contains model classes
runtime/ contains files generated during runtime
tests/ contains various tests for the basic application
vendor/ contains dependent 3rd-party packages
views/ contains view files for the Web application
web/ contains the entry script and Web resources

REQUIREMENTS
------------

The minimum requirement by this application template that your Web server supports PHP 5.4.0.

INSTALLATION
------------

### Install from an Archive File

Extract the archive file downloaded from [yiiframework.com](http://www.yiiframework.com/download/) to
a directory named `basic` that is directly under the Web root.

You can then access the application through the following URL:

~~~
http://localhost/basic/web/
~~~

### Install via Composer

If you do not have [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/), you may install it by following the instructions
at [getcomposer.org](http://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md#installation-nix).

You can then install this application template using the following command:

~~~
php composer.phar global require "fxp/composer-asset-plugin:1.0.0-beta2"
php composer.phar create-project --prefer-dist --stability=dev yiisoft/yii2-app-basic basic
~~~

Now you should be able to access the application through the following URL, assuming `basic` is the directory
directly under the Web root.

~~~
http://localhost/basic/web/
~~~

CONFIGURATION
-------------

### Database

Edit the file `config/db.php` with real data, for example:

```php
return [
'class' => 'yii\db\Connection',
'dsn' => 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=yii2basic',
'username' => 'root',
'password' => '1234',
'charset' => 'utf8',
];
```

**NOTE:** Yii won't create the database for you, this has to be done manually before you can access it.

Also check and edit the other files in the `config/` directory to customize your application.
