Step 1
Create .htaccess file in root folder, i.e advanced/.htaccess and write below code.
—————
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
# deal with admin first
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/(admin) <------
RewriteRule ^admin/assets/(.*)$ backend/web/assets/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^admin/css/(.*)$ backend/web/css/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/backend/web/(assets|css)/ <------
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/(admin) <------
RewriteRule ^.*$ backend/web/index.php [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/(assets|css) <------
RewriteRule ^assets/(.*)$ frontend/web/assets/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^css/(.*)$ frontend/web/css/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(frontend|backend)/web/(assets|css)/ <------
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^.*$ frontend/web/index.php
—————
Note : if you are trying in local server then replace ^/ with ^/project_name/ where you see arrow sign.
Remove those arrow sign
Step 2
Now create a components/Request.php file in common directory and write below code in this file.
—————
namespace common\components;
class Request extends \yii\web\Request {
public $web;
public $adminUrl;
public function getBaseUrl(){
return str_replace($this->web, "", parent::getBaseUrl()) . $this->adminUrl;
}
/*
If you don't have this function, the admin site will 404 if you leave off
the trailing slash.
E.g.:
Wouldn't work:
site.com/admin
Would work:
site.com/admin/
Using this function, both will work.
*/
public function resolvePathInfo(){
if($this->getUrl() === $this->adminUrl){
return "";
}else{
return parent::resolvePathInfo();
}
}
}
—————
Step 3
Installing component. Write below code in frontend/config/main.php and backend/config/main.php files respectively.
————————-
//frontend, under components array
'request'=>[
'class' => 'common\components\Request',
'web'=> '/frontend/web'
],
'urlManager' => [
'enablePrettyUrl' => true,
'showScriptName' => false,
],
// backend, under components array
'request'=>[
'class' => 'common\components\Request',
'web'=> '/backend/web',
'adminUrl' => '/admin'
],
'urlManager' => [
'enablePrettyUrl' => true,
'showScriptName' => false,
],
————————-
Step 4 (Optional, if doesn’t work till step three)
create .htaccess file in frontend/web and backend/web directories
————————-
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]
————————-
Note: make sure you have enabled your mod rewrite in apache
Thats it! You can try your project with
http://www.project.com/admin, http://www.project.com
in local server
localhost/project_name/admin, localhost/project_name
