Yii framework proposed folder structure not working

I'm relatively new to Yii. I've managed to get a sample application up and running but as I am now moving to a real project, I would like to use the following folder structure for increased security:

[Server root (/) ]
- yii
 -- framework
 -- requirements

[Server htdocs]
- myapp
 -- public
  --- assets
  --- css
  --- images
  --- themes
  --- index.php

 -- private
  --- protected

All is fine when I leave the protected folder inside the public folder but I don't want to do this.

The only way I can get it to work using my proposed structure is if I create a symlink inside the public folder pointing to the protected folder inside the private folder. If I reference it directly in the private folder it just gives me a blank page upon app load.

I've double checked my configuration paths and permissions.

Any help is appreciated.

There is an open source project called Yii Boilerplate which proposes application structure for Yii to use in large projects that require scalability.

You can configure Yii to use the folders you want for your specific needs, eg. protected-folder, assets, themes, etc.

Have a look at "The directory structure of the Yii project site" for an example.

You can put your protected folder where you want, but you have to tell it to index.php. In your case, the line where it says:

$config=dirname(__FILE__).'/protected/config/main.php';

must say:

$config=dirname(__FILE__).'/../private/protected/config/main.php';

And same in index-test.php
