How to set default controller in Yii

Question

Is there a way to specify a default controller in Yii? Instead of using the SiteController? Thank you in advance.

Solution 1

To set your default controller as your homepage's controller on Yii PHP-Framework. You must modify the core defaults controller (site/index) on your /protected/config/main.php

return array(
    'name' => 'Web Application',
    'defaultController' => 'home ', 

);

Solution 2

try to add the configuration in the config main.php

'defaultController' => 'newcontrollername',

after 'name' setting.

DefaultController will simply be called when you call yoursite/yourmodule. You don't need to change its name to make it work.

You shouldn't edit files that are part of the framework because they may change during an update and your changes lost.
