**Frontend:**
**Backend:**

**Authentication:**
*Login:* `admin`
*Password:* `admin12345`

Installation and getting started:
---------------------------------

[](#installation-and-getting-started)

**If you do not have Composer, you may install it by following the instructions at getcomposer.org.**

**If you do not have Composer-Asset-Plugin installed, you may install it by running command:** `php composer.phar global require "fxp/composer-asset-plugin:1.0.0"`

1. Run the following commands to install Yii2-Start: `php composer.phar create-project --prefer-dist --stability=dev vova07/yii2-start yii2-start`
    **During the installation process can be required `password` and\\or `username` from your Github account. This is because you make too much request to Github service. Just remember that this can be.**
2. Run command: `cd /my/path/to/yii2-start/` and go to main application directory.
3. Run command: `php requirements.php` and check the requirements.
4. Run command: `php init` to initialize the application with a specific environment.
5. Create a new database and adjust it configuration in `common/config/db.php` accordingly.
6. Apply migrations with console commands:
    - `php yii migrate --migrationPath=@vova07/users/migrations`
    - `php yii migrate --migrationPath=@vova07/blogs/migrations`
    - `php yii migrate --migrationPath=@vova07/comments/migrations`
    - This will create tables needed for the application to work.
    - You also can use database dump `db.sql` from `my/path/to/yii2-start/common/data`, but however I recommend to use migrations.
7. Run modules RBAC commands:
    - `php yii rbac/rbac/init`
    - `php yii users/rbac/add`
    - `php yii blogs/rbac/add`
    - `php yii comments/rbac/add`
8. Set document roots of your Web server:

**For Apache:**

```

    ServerName www.yii2-start.domain # You need to change it to your own domain
    ServerAlias yii2-start.domain # You need to change it to your own domain
    DocumentRoot /my/path/to/yii2-start # You need to change it to your own path
     # You need to change it to your own path
  	  AllowOverride All

```

- Use the URL `http://yii2-start.domain` to access application frontend.
- Use the URL `http://yii2-start.domain/backend/` to access application backend.

**For Nginx:**

```
___Frontend___

```
server {
    charset utf-8;
    client_max_body_size 128M;

    listen 80; ## listen for ipv4
    # listen [::]:80 ipv6only=on; ## listen for ipv6

    set $yii2StartRoot '/my/path/to/yii2-start'; ## You need to change it to your own path

    server_name yii2-start.domain; ## You need to change it to your own domain
    root $yii2StartRoot/frontend/web;
    index index.php;

    #access_log  $yii2StartRoot/log/frontend/access.log;
    #error_log   $yii2StartRoot/log/frontend/error.log;

    location / {
        # Redirect everything that isn't a real file to index.php
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
    }

    location /statics {
        alias $yii2StartRoot/statics/web/;
    }

    # uncomment to avoid processing of calls to non-existing static files by Yii
    #location ~ \.(js|css|png|jpg|gif|swf|ico|pdf|mov|fla|zip|rar)$ {
    #    try_files $uri =404;
    #}
    #error_page 404 /404.html;

    location ~ \.php$ {
        #include fastcgi_params;
        include fastcgi.conf;
        fastcgi_pass   127.0.0.1:9000;
        #fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
        try_files $uri =404;
    }

    location ~ /\.(ht|svn|git) {
        deny all;
    }
}
```

__Backend__

```
server {
    charset utf-8;
    client_max_body_size 128M;

    listen 80; ## listen for ipv4
    # listen [::]:80 ipv6only=on; ## listen for ipv6

    set $yii2StartRoot '/my/path/to/yii2-start'; ## You need to change it to your own path

    server_name backend.yii2-start.domain; ## You need to change it to your own domain
    root $yii2StartRoot/backend/web;
    index index.php;

    #access_log  $yii2StartRoot/log/backend/access.log;
    #error_log   $yii2StartRoot/log/backend/error.log;

    location / {
        # Redirect everything that isn't a real file to index.php
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
    }

    location /statics {
        alias $yii2StartRoot/statics/web/;
    }

    # uncomment to avoid processing of calls to non-existing static files by Yii
    #location ~ \.(js|css|png|jpg|gif|swf|ico|pdf|mov|fla|zip|rar)$ {
    #    try_files $uri =404;
    #}
    #error_page 404 /404.html;

    location ~ \.php$ {
        #include fastcgi_params;
        include fastcgi.conf;
        fastcgi_pass   127.0.0.1:9000;
        #fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
        try_files $uri =404;
    }

    location ~ /\.(ht|svn|git) {
        deny all;
    }
}
```

**Remove `'baseUrl' => '/backend'` from `/my/path/to/yii2-start/backend/config/main.php`.**

- Use the URL `http://yii2-start.domain` to access application frontend.
- Use the URL `http://backend.yii2-start.domain` to access application backend.

```
