yii: using gii outside localhost

by prettyscripts on 2010-07-30 11:37:13

i'm currently reviewing / learning yii, another php framework. while following the guide to configure gii, i wasn't able to access gii. 403 error was displayed.

it's because by default gii only allow access via localhost. if you're like me having a separate development server, an additional configuration is required - ipFilters:

PHP:

	`return array(`
	`......`
	`'modules'=>array(`
	`'gii'=>array(`
	`'class'=>'system.gii.GiiModule',`
	`'password'=>'your-password',`
	`'ipFilters'=>array(...a list of IPs...), // ***`
	`),`
	`),`
	`);`

line 7: add this line and enter list of ip addresses that are allowed to access gii. if you're access the site via proxy, enter the ip address of proxy server.

update: as of V116 ipFilters is included in project skeleton. just edit the ip address.
