Question from newbie installing Yii2 advanced

Posted October 18, 2014

Howdy! I’d idea to install Yii2 framework. It’s almost done, but I had no idea how to work with Apache. They said: +++Set document roots of your web server: for frontend /path/to/yii-application/frontend/web/ and using the URL http://frontend/ for backend /path/to/yii-application/backend/web/ and using the URL http://backend/ ++++

I did this in console:

sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/default

Than I wrote this:

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80>
    ServerName myserver.com
    ServerAlias 127.0.0.1
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/yii/frontend/web/

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80>
    ServerName admin.myserver.com
    ServerAlias 127.0.0.1
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/yii/backend/web/
</VirtualHost>

And there is nothing. What I have to do?

Big thanks for everybody!

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80>

Configuring the virtualhost on 127.0.0.1 allows you to access it only from the droplet itself because Apache would listen on the loopback interface only. Replace that with 0.0.0.0 and restart Apache and you should be good to go :)
