It is telling you already what to do.

In application config you have to configure urlManager property baseUrl because in console it can not detect applicatiosn base URL by itself.




'components' => [

    // ...

    'urlManager' => [

        'baseUrl' => 'http://example.com/'

    ]

]

I understand the limitations and why we would need to enter this manually. However it’s -very- painful as far as deployments and various environments go. Do you guys have any suggestions on how to handle such scenarios?

In my case I already have a custom init console controller/action that needs to be run on installation so I could probably have it prompt the user for the domain, but of course this is no good for automated testing environments. Do you have any better suggestions? (maybe I should make a test app environment for ./init?)

In CLI mode you don’t have HTTP request, thus your webserver will never be able to set some of environmental variables, e.g. $_SERVER[‘SERVER_NAME’] from which URL is normally constructed. You must always set it manually by loading correct configuration for current environment. It’s not an issue with framework or PHP :slight_smile:

The URLs should not have a trailing “/” as in the examples provided. Also you may need both the baseUrl and scriptUrl. Lastly you will need to enable prettyUrl, if you have that enabled in the web application.

        'urlManager' => [
            'enablePrettyUrl' => true,
            'baseUrl' => 'http://example.org',
            'scriptUrl' => 'http://example.org'
        ],
