Minihiker Backend v2

An update to the structure of Minihiker's backend based on the Yii 2 framework.

The application includes an API to be used by the backend itself and one to be used by clients through a Wechat Miniprogram.

Example apache configuration for development in a Ubuntu machine.

Create a VirtualHost entry for each independent application, for example, for the public API

<VirtualHost wxapi.mh:80>
     ServerAdmin [email protected]
     DocumentRoot /var/www/html/mh-apivp1
     ServerName wxapi.minihiker.com
     ServerAlias minihiker-wxapi.com
     
    <Directory "/var/www/html/mh-apivp1">
        # use mod_rewrite for pretty URL support
        RewriteEngine on
        # If a directory or a file exists, use the request directly
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
        # Otherwise forward the request to index.php
        RewriteRule . index.php

        # use index.php as index file
        DirectoryIndex index.php
        Require all granted

    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Add the corresponding entry on the hosts file, i.e. /etc/hosts if running Ubuntu.
