### The Common Directory
The `common` directory contains the files that are shared among applications. For example, every application may need to access the database using ActiveRecord. Therefore, we can store the AR model classes under the `common` directory. Similarly, if some helper or widget classes are used in more than one application, we should also put them under `common` to avoid duplication of code.
To facilitate the maintenance of code, we organize the `common` directory in a structure similar to that of an application. For example, we have `components`, '`models`, `lib`, etc.
As we will soon explain, applications may also share part of the configurations. Therefore, we also store the common configurations under the `config` directory in `common`.[...]
We then create or modify the local configurations specific for the production server. For example, we may need to adjust the DB connection parameters. We may want to define `YII_DEBUG` to be false in `index.php`.
Because we store each application in a separate directory, if needed, we can deploy them to different servers.
