Installation
Installation of Yii mainly involves the following two steps:
- Download Yii Framework from yiiframework.com.
- Unpack the Yii release file to a Web-accessible directory.
Tip: Yii does not need to be installed under a Web-accessible directory. A Yii application has one entry script which is usually the only file that needs to be exposed to Web users. Other PHP scripts, including those from Yii, should be protected from Web access; otherwise they might be exploited by hackers.
1. Requirements ¶
After installing Yii, you may want to verify that your server satisfies Yii's requirements. You can do so by accessing the requirement checker script via the following URL in a Web browser:
http://hostname/path/to/yii/requirements/index.php
Yii requires PHP 5.1, so the server must have PHP 5.1 or above installed and available to the web server. Yii has been tested with Apache HTTP server on Windows and Linux. It may also run on other Web servers and platforms, provided PHP 5.1 is supported.

Correct syntax would be:

Using the permissions of 777 is a very bad idea. It means that anyone can write content to the files. This can lead very easily to arbitrary code getting written to the file and executed every time the script is accessed.
Do a chmod 755 instead. This gives the everyone read and execute permissions, but only the owner write permissions.
If you get this error on OS X using MAMP then try the tar.gz version of the download instead of the zip.
