Now you should have everything you need installed on your box, so let's start looking around and see how Yii 2 is organized so that we will know where to put our hands when needed.
Remember, there's always a README.md
file you can consult: in the advanced application, it will show you the structure and use of the various directories.
By just listing the content of the root of the project, you will immediately spot a big difference:
$ tree -L 1 -d . ├── assets ├── commands ├── config ├── controllers ├── mail ├── models ├── runtime ├── tests ├── vendor ├── views └── web 11 directories
I've willingly excluded the files from the output of tree
and displayed only the directories.
It seems like all the content of what once was in /protected
have been dropped outside of the document root.
The project structure is now very similar to what could be a Django or a Ruby on Rails application; the project root contains all the code, which is organized the same way as it was...
