I'm trying to run a Yii application placed in a subfolder of the root:

-> public_html
----> yii_app
--------> index.php
--------> .htaccess
--------> protected
etc..

The application runs fine with url: http://www.site.com/yii_app However, deeper controllers and actions redirect me to http://www.site.com For example: http://www.site.com/yii_app/controller1/action1 will show the home page of the site.

I tried to put in the root .htaccess file rules that ignore the folder yii_app but didn't solve the problem.

RewriteEngine on    
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} "/yii_app/"
RewriteRule (.*) $1 [L]

Any suggestions?

Would really appreciate your help.

Thanks.

I think you have to use creating url to create work urk, check this: yiiframework.com/doc/guide/1.1/en/topics.url#creating-urls – Abudayah May 28 at 8:12

You forgot to set basePath in your config:

<?php
return array(
    'basePath' => 'yii_app',
    ....
);

I tried but gave the following error: Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'CException' with message 'Application base path "yii_app" is not a valid directory.' basePath value was set to dirname(FILE) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . '..', – TechMafioso May 27 at 12:12

'basePath' => 'yii_app/protected',

Almost universal setting for basePath

'basePath' => dirname(__FILE__) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . '..',

That's what I currently have in the main.php config file. However any deeper controllers and their actions take me back to the homepage. The only working controller/action is the one I set as the default. – TechMafioso May 29 at 9:18
