Deploying Yii2 into shared hosting, Directly to basic template folder

Question

I have read the doc from Yii2 official website to deploy yii2 into share host from this : http://www.yiiframework.com/doc-2.0/guide-tutorial-shared-hosting.html, and about discussion on this : stackoverflow.

So, I decide to use sftp to upload the yii2 folder. And this is the list of directory in my share host.

access-logs
etc
logs
public_ftp
public_html
ssl
www (this is a link folder to public_html)

You know, because the share host can hold on domains untill 5 domains, is it possible to upload yii2basic folder into public_html folder ?

So the result like this :

access-logs
etc
logs
public_ftp
public_html
    -basic
        - bunch of yii folders here
ssl
www (this is a link folder to public_html)

Because now, if I want to access my web, I have to write like this : mydomain.com/basic/public_html/index.php

I need like this :

mydomain.com/index.php

Please guide me.

Have you got the ability to make public_html a symlink to other folder? — Bizley

By default on provider, 'www' folder is symlink to public_html — Fadly Dzil

Yes you can upload it inside the public_html folder but the only problem that I have been facing nowadays with yii2 basic app is the pretty URLs, you can clone or upload entire contents inside the public_html folder, what I did is as follows only the difference is I have a web folder instead of www

directory structure

public_html
  assets
  commands
  config
  controller
  mail
  migrations
  models
  runtime
  tests
  vendor
  views
  web

public_html/.htaccess

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
    RewriteEngine On
</IfModule>

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/.*
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ web/$1 [L]

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/web/
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f [OR]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^.*$ web/index.php
</IfModule>

public_html/web/.htaccess

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]

this works but in the URL it shows /web/index.php?r=site/index and as soon as I turn the prettyUrl on in the config file urlManager it would only show default index page and every link I try to open ends up on the home page view although the URL in the address bar is correct and urlManager parses the rules correctly, this is as far as I have gone.

If you don't mind bunch of Yii 2 folders in your root folder just place all basic template folders (except web) and files in the root folder. Then place the content of web folder in the public_html folder.

It should be something like:

access-logs
assets
commands
config
controllers
etc
logs
mail
models
public_ftp
public_html
    // here should be the content of web folder of Yii 2 basic app
runtime
ssl
test
views
widgets
