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/
. Itsweb/
subdirectory contains both the rootindex.php
and the static files; if your app requires additional.php
scripts, also store them here.Run the following command so Unit can access the application directory:
# chown -R unit:unit /path/to/app/
Note
The
unit:unit
user-group pair is available only with official packages, Docker images, and some third-party repos. Otherwise, account names may differ; run the ps aux | grep unitd command to be sure.For further details, including permissions, see the security checklist.
Next, prepare the Yii configuration for Unit (use real values for
share
androot
):{ "listeners": { "*:80": { "pass": "routes" } }, "routes": [ { "match": { "uri": [ "!/assets/*", "*.php", "*.php/*" ] }, "action": { "pass": "applications/yii/direct" } }, { "action": { "share": "/path/to/app/web$uri", "fallback": { "pass": "applications/yii/index" } } } ], "applications": { "yii": { "type": "php", "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 thescript
setting:- The
direct
target runs the.php
script from the URI orindex.php
if the URI omits it. - The
index
target specifies thescript
that Unit runs for any URIs the target receives.
- The
Upload the updated configuration. Assuming the JSON above was added to
config.json
:# curl -X PUT --data-binary @config.json --unix-socket \ /path/to/control.unit.sock http://localhost/config/
Note
The control socket path may vary; run unitd -h or see Startup and Shutdown for details.
After a successful update, your app should be available on the listener’s IP address and port:
