Well, PHP times.
My client wants me to use Yii2 as the framework for his project.
I got it up and running. No problem. I used the advanced template via composer.
Set my web root to /frontend/web, etc.
NOW, i want to use this url format
website.com/messages/ or website.com/messages/tom... etc.
Right now the way is setup shows website.com/index.php?r=messages/index...
I found this documentation...
https://github.com/yiisoft/yii2/blob/master/docs/guide/url.md
But i can't seem to get it straight.
Here are my steps...
I configured my apache server to point to /usr/www/payroll/frontend/web/
I added to my web folder a .htaccess file with this content.
RewriteEngine on
# If a directory or a file exists, use it directly
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
# Otherwise forward it to index.php
RewriteRule . index.php
I also added the component 'urlManager' as in the directions. It seems to catch the request and modify it.
'components'=>[
'urlManager' => [
'class' => 'yii\web\UrlManager',
'enablePrettyUrl' => true,
'showScriptName' => 'false'
],
],
For example if I type website.com you can see it adds /site/index to the url. (without the url component active it simply adds /index.php?site/index)
So, obviously there's a modification perfomed to the url (via UrlManager) but I get 404 error
I am running out of ideas here. I am new to Php, Apache and Yii2. Any help, Greatly appreciated.
Thanks
To make pretty URL working on Yii 2.0 you need 2 things:
1: Edit /frontend/config/main.php (or the appropriate main config in your case) and add:
'components'=>[
'urlManager' => [
'class' => 'yii\web\UrlManager',
'enablePrettyUrl' => true,
'showScriptName' => false,
],
],
2: Add a .htaccess file in YOUR WEB ROOT folder.
In yii 2.0 advanced this is NOT project root directory but instead:
/frontend/web
.htaccess example:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . index.php
just change 'showScriptName' => 'false' to 'showScriptName' => false and it will work
Ok, here is the solution.
In recents version of Apache (from 2.3.9), AllowOverride is set to NONE by default. Previous versions have AllowOverride set to ALL.
Yii2 assumes that AllowOverride will be set to ALL.
If you want to read the whole thread at Yii Forum, here is the link
http://www.yiiframework.com/forum/index.php/topic/53295-url-manager-for-seo-friendly-url-404-error-code/
Thank you for your help and messages!
For Yii2 basic, I just added the codes below to /myappfolder/config/web.php:
'urlManager' => [
'class' => 'yii\web\UrlManager',
'enablePrettyUrl' => true,
'showScriptName'=>false,
]
Also, added .htaccess in /myappfolder/web/ :
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . index.php
This works well for me. Hope this helps others who have same problem. : )
If you want to use like this http://domain.com/controller_name/action_name , you only need to enable pretty url in your config file :
'components'=>[
'urlManager' => [
'class' => 'yii\web\UrlManager',
'enablePrettyUrl' => true,
'showScriptName' => 'false'
],
],
Now you can use urls as you wish `website.com/messages/ or website.com/messages/tom.
If you want to use query string in your url this is how it works now in Yii 2 website.com/message?id=12

I deployed my php/Yii2 project (based on the basic template) to a shared hosting webspace. I want to access the project via an subdomain because an wordpress is running on the main domain. The normal controllers of the base project are working fine. The problem is that the framework can't find any controller that is in a module. The module itsef is registered properly.
The folder structure in the webspace is the following:
/
www
_wp (target folder of the main domain)
_project
web (target folder of the sub domain)
runtime
views
...
modules
testmodule
Module.php
views
models
controllers
The modules are configured like this:
'modules' => [
'testmodule' => [
'class' => 'app\modules\testmodule\Module',
],
],
The UrlManager is configured like this:
[
'showScriptName' => false,
'enablePrettyUrl' => true,
'enableStrictParsing' => false,
'rules' => array(
'<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>/<id:\d+>' => '<controller>/<action>',
'<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>' => '<controller>/<action>',
'<module:\w+>/<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>/<id:\d+>' => '<module>/<controller>/<action>',
'<module:\w+>/<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>' => '<module>/<controller>/<action>'
),
];
The .htaccess file in the _project\web looks like this:
Options +FollowSymLinks
IndexIgnore */*
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php? [L]
In the _project folder I do not have an .htaccess file.
On my local machine everything is working fine. On my webspace the controllers of the project itself are working fine. As soon as I navigate in a module i get an 404 Error of the yii framework. I debugged the project and found out that the module itself is loaded correctly. The problem is that the framework can not find the Controller Class because the function class_exists(controller) returns false. I don’t have an idea what i can do to fix this. Hopefully somesone here can help me, thanks a lot!
thanks to the comment of Michal Hynčica! I wrote my controllers lower case and yii2 is looking for them with CamelCase. This worked on windows. But on my shared hosting based on this did not work because of Case-sensivity!
tl;dr My Yii 2 app, running as a micro-framework, works just fine when using standard ("not pretty") URLs. However when the urlManager application component is enabled in the configuration, the entire application breaks completely and every call to it ends with 404.
Following my other question, I am trying to run a minimalist version (micro framework) of Yii 2 app to act as an RESTful endpoint. I've followed the guide and everything seems to be working when I am calling a standard ("not pretty") URLs:
As suggested in the guide, I have enabled routing / pretty URLs in my application:
'urlManager' => [
'enablePrettyUrl' => true,
'enableStrictParsing' => true,
'showScriptName' => false,
'rules' => [
['class' => 'yii\rest\UrlRule', 'controller' => 'post'],
],
]
And suddenly my application stops working at all. It serves neither non-pretty:
nor pretty URLs:
It even fails to serve the default controller and action -- site/index.
What am I missing?
It seems that I have everything that I need. Following the guide I have:
Created the micro-framework application skeleton
Created default controller (site) and default action (index)
Configured db component, run migrations and created database
Created PostController
Enabled routing by adding Yii code to application configuration (see code example above) and by creating corresponding .httaccess file:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
What else must I do in order to make the whole thing work or what am I missing here? Thanks!
Remove this line:
'enableStrictParsing' => true,
This question comes from an misunderstanding. I wasn't aware that when pretty URLs are enabled then yii\rest\UrlRule::$pluralize is set to true by default. Meaning that the request must be:
http://localhost/micro-app/posts
(plural controller name; notice "s" at the end)
Not:
http://localhost/micro-app/post
(singular controller name)
It is also completely normal that when pretty URLs are enabled then regular URLs doesn't work anymore. That's the reason for getting 404 File Not Found on http://localhost/micro-app/index.php?r=post URL when pretty URLs are enabled.
I am trying to set-up Yii2 to use pretty URL.
In order to do so, I configured Yii2 and used the rewrite module of apache to make sure that we always enter by the entry point which is index.php
I made the following modification in the .htaccess file contained in the yii-application/frontend/web/ folder - folder that contains index.php (advanced yii2 template). For those modifications, I followed instructions found on various forums.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . index.php
I have also made the following changes in the configuration of yii2 in order to activate pretty URL
$config = [
'components' => [
'urlManager' => [
'showScriptName' => false,
'enablePrettyUrl' => true,
'rules' => array(
'<controller:\w+>/<id:\d+>' => '<controller>/view',
'<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>/<id:\d+>' => '<controller>/<action>',
'<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>' => '<controller>/<action>',
),
],
],
];
Note that Yii2 was working well before I made those changes.
Now if I try to connect using one of the following URL (like before modification), I see the landing page. The navigation will not work, I will always see the landing page.
http://localhost/frontend/
http://localhost/frontend/index.php
http://localhost/frontend/index.php?r=site/about-us
http://localhost/frontend/index.php?r=site/faq
If I try to connect using of the URLs below (as I should once pretty URL is configured properly), my brower displays an error message.
http://localhost/frontend/site/faq
http://localhost/frontend/site/account
http://localhost/frontend/site/index
Error message:
Not Found
The requested URL /web/yii-application/frontend/web/index.php was not found on this server.
Apache/2.4.9 (Win32) PHP/5.5.12 Server at localhost Port 80
However, it looks like the path is correct. The index.php file is actually in the folder C:\web\yii-application\frontend\web\index.php
How come my browser does not find the file?
Thanks for your help
From all your requests you are missing the web folder.
All your URLs should be
http://localhost/frontend/web/
http://localhost/frontend/web/index.php
http://localhost/frontend/web/index.php?r=site/about-us
http://localhost/frontend/web/index.php?r=site/faq
http://localhost/frontend/web/site/faq
http://localhost/frontend/web/site/account
http://localhost/frontend/web/site/index
Unless you set up a folder redirection but considering how you have things set up I seriously doubt that.
I turned on pretty URLs in Yii according to the docs
http://www.yiiframework.com/doc-2.0/guide-runtime-routing.html
and the home page is visible, but when I try to go to another URL, it gives me an error.
http://localhost:81/xxx/web/shopping/search?q=toaster
The requested URL /xxx/web/shopping/search was not found on this server.
I tried to create a generic rule, but it didn't help.
'urlManager' => [
'enablePrettyUrl' => true,
'showScriptName' => false,
'enableStrictParsing' => false,
'rules' => [
// ...
'<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>' => '<controller>/<action>',
],
],
The docs specifically say not to include the subfolders in the path.
Note: Rules with server names should NOT include the subfolder of the entry script in their patterns. For example, if the application is under http://www.example.com/sandbox/blog, then you should use the pattern http://www.example.com/posts instead of http://www.example.com/sandbox/blog/posts. This will allow your application to be deployed under any directory without the need to change your application code.
Must I list every single route explicitly? I tried to give an explicit route for
'shopping/search' => 'shopping/search',
But it didn't help.
Try this
'urlManager' => [
'class' => 'yii\web\UrlManager',
'enablePrettyUrl' => true,
'showScriptName' => 'false'
],
It was because of Apache. Without pointing to index.php, Apache didn't know where to send the request and is the one giving the error. This will default to index.php.
# For pretty URLs
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . index.php

I am developing website with PHP Yii Framework and I am now stack, I need to start gii, but I can't do this. when i type www.example.com/index.php/gii or www.example.com/gii it gives me this error :
/gii/default/login // <- website redirects to here
This webpage has a redirect loop
The webpage at http://www.example.com/gii/default/login has resulted in too many redirects.
Clearing your cookies for this site or allowing third-party cookies may fix the problem.
If not, it is possibly a server configuration issue and not a problem with your computer.
I don't think that the error is because of modified htaccess and main configuration, but anyway here is main.php configuration file:
'urlManager'=>array(
'urlFormat'=>'path',
'showScriptName'=>false,
'rules'=>array(
'site/page/<view:\w+>'=>'site/page',
'<controller:\w+>/<cact:\w+>/<action:\w+>'=>'<controller>/<cact>',
'<controller:\w+>/<id:\d+>'=>'<controller>/view',
'<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>/<id:\d+>'=>'<controller>/<action>',
'<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>'=>'<controller>/<action>',
),
),
and .htaccess :
Options +FollowSymLinks
IndexIgnore */*
RewriteEngine on
#non-www to www
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
# if a directory or a file exists, use it directly
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
# otherwise forward it to index.php
RewriteRule ^.*$ /index.php [L]
So can you help me, please?
To use this path: index.php?r=gii/default/login , you must turn OFF the url manager in /protected/config/main.php
Also check urlManager's rules. That was the issue for me:
'components' => array(
'urlManager' => array(
'urlFormat' => 'path',
'showScriptName' => false,
'rules' => array(
// ...
// will handle `gii/default/login` uri and makes infinite redirection loop circle
'<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>/<sub_action:\w+>'=>'<controller>/<action>',
// ...
),
),
),
Check if the gii module in your configuration file is there and it is uncommented.
If gii is not in there you should add it within the module array.
'modules'=>array(
'gii'=>array(
'class'=>'system.gii.GiiModule',
'password'=>***choose a password***
),
),
More info for gii here
Like FelikZ mentioned, this might be because you have created a third param in a rule that uses \w+ instead of the default \d+ and hence will match "gii" as the controller, "default" as the action and "login" as the ID (or sub action, or whatever is mentioned).
My rules looked like the following:
'<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>/<id:\w+>'=>'<controller>/<action>',
'<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>'=>'<controller>/<action>',
The fix is to add the following as the very first rule in order to make gii hit the right place:
'gii/<controller:\w+>/<action:[\w-]+>' => 'gii/<controller>/<action>',
Which should make your entire urlManager config look something like the following:
'urlManager'=>array(
'urlFormat'=>'path',
'showScriptName'=>false,
'rules'=>array(
'gii/<controller:\w+>/<action:[\w-]+>' => 'gii/<controller>/<action>',
'<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>/<id:\w+>'=>'<controller>/<action>',
'<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>'=>'<controller>/<action>',
),
),
This problem occurs because of the two sessions of the OP, for example cookie PHPSESSID there two domains domain .site.ru and admin.site.ru two different sessions. Delete PHPSESSID cookies and login to gii
