Installing Yii Framework in XAMPP

Here I will discuss the details of the installation steps Yii Framework. But before, there are some you need to prepare to install Yii:
  • Yii Framework - Download at http://www.yiiframework.com/download/
  • Web and database Server, here I am using XAMPP - Download at http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html
  • Web Browser, here I use Mozilla Firefox - Download at http://www.mozilla.org/id/firefox/new/
After you download all, let's start installing yii. Here, I use windows 7 as the operating system.

1. Install XAMPP, here I did not explain how to install it, but just to be safe when the computer error and have to reinstall, it should be installed on a drive other than C, such as drive D, E, or others. Here I installed on drive D

2. Extract yii-x.x.x.xxxxx.tar.gz that you download, then change its name to yii, and to be more easily placed in the folder XAMPP/htdocs, so that such XAMPP/htdocs/yii.

3. Open the comand line by pressing ctrl + r and type cmd

    hi, I'm a beginner .. I have managed to install yii on my localhost by following this tutorial. But for XAMPP, previously I've installed it on drive C is not D. Is this going to cause problems that means for future development?

      No, I installed on drive D to avoid an error occurs on a computer, nothing to do with yii application development. It was just an option that does not depend, up to you.
