在Windows Azure上部署Yii

Question

I wrote a web application based on Yii framework, and now am tending to use Microsoft Azure cloud services.

I'm feeling totally lost, I can't find a single tutorial on this.

How can you configure the Database adapter? Can it be done using SQLSRV driver?

Answer 1

Yii, MVC Framework is based on PHP, so what you really need is to use the Azure PHP SDK to start. My first suggestion will be to download the PHP SDK for Windows Azure from the link below:

http://azurephp.interoperabilitybridges.com/articles/setup-the-windows-azure-sdk-for-php

You will be using Scaffolds which is described below so study properly:

http://azurephp.interoperabilitybridges.com/articles/using-scaffolds

In the above scaffolds there are two samples which you can download and try by yourself (Samples already have connectivity to SQL Azure so you can learn how it is done):

Finally download the Yii and place into your scaffold folder's root and test it. At last when testing is done you can deploy to Windows Azure.

I hope you may need some help in last step however if you finish using sample application through documentation, you can get Yii in your application easily.
