Yii2.0 yiic command not working

Question

Hi I am new to Yii framework development.

Yiic webapp not working, even when you run yiic on the commandline

I was following a tutorial on-line but I got stuck because the yiic command is not recognised and I also noticed that the framework folder is not there.

I download Yii 2.0 archive from the Yii home website and extracted it to my Webroot folder.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

instead of using yiic from Yii 1.x, you can use Gii Extension of Yii 2.

http://localhost/path/to/index.php?r=gii

It provides the same code generators:

• Model Generator
• CRUD Generator
• Controller Generator
• Form Generator
• Module Generator
• Extension Generator
