Installation issue

I am new to YII and tried to install the yii

First downloaded the basic verion from the yii official website and extracted it into a folder named framework on my Ubuntu machine

Its location is opt/lampp/htdocs/yii/framework where yii is the folder in htdocs folder and framework is the folder containing yii extracted files…

And when i tried to use the following command as per the documentation in yii website

cd /opt/lampp/htdocs (selected htdocs folder)

php yii/framework/yiic.php webapp testdrive (it shows an error that No such file or directory)

One of the important thing is i haven’t found any file named yiic.php in the framework folder.

Can anyone tell me hoe to fix this issue…

I m stuck…

are u following this

have u install composer


curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php

mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer

Hi man, something is not ok about what you’re telling us. tha file has to be there… anyway execute yiic without the .php… locate the path in that place before… Do not create the proyect directory inside the framework directory… Try this tips, but again, the file has to be there…
