REQUIREMENTS

The minimum requirement by this project template that your Web server supports PHP 5.7.0

CONFIGURATION

Database

Edit the file config/db.php with real data, for example:

return [
    'class' => 'yii\db\Connection',
    'dsn' => 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=yii2basic',
    'username' => 'root',
    'password' => '1234',
    'charset' => 'utf8',
];

NOTES:

• Yii won't create the database for you, this has to be done manually before you can access it.
• Run yii migrate command after creating database
