Apache and Nginx configurations

Apache

Yii is ready to work with a default Apache web server configuration. The .htaccess files in Yii framework and application folders restrict access to the restricted resources. To hide the bootstrap file (usually index.php) in your URLs you can add mod_rewrite instructions to the .htaccess file in your document root or to the virtual host configuration:




Nginx



You can use Yii with Nginx and PHP with FPM SAPI.
Here is a sample host configuration. It defines the bootstrap file and makes yii catch all requests to unexisting files, which allows us to have nice-looking URLs.






Using this configuration you can set cgi.fix_pathinfo=0 in php.ini to avoid many unnecessary system stat() calls.
