2.8.4.3.2. Configure database connection in Yii

Database connection details in Yii are specified in the app's configuration file. Depending on the structure of the configuration files, changes must be made to the file containing the database settings:

• If you are using the file protected/config/main.php, you need to modify the following lines:

  'connectionString' => 'mysql:host=host;dbname=database',
  'username' => 'login',
  'password' => 'password',

• If the file protected/config/main.php contains a line similar to the following, for example:

  'connectionString'=>'mysql:/home/example/example.com/www/protected/data/filename.db', 

  Changes must be made directly to the file specified in this line. In this example, it is /home/example/example.com/www/protected/data/filename.db.

Changes can be made using the file manager or any FTP client.
