The purpose of this post is to let anyone quickly find how to accomplish a configuration task, and list here all the posibilities of the config.php file and also link to pages that explain how is each thing implemented.
 
 
Everyone is welcome to add here configuration rules that haven't been specified or links to other documentation.
 
 
The configuration file:  
```php 
<?php // uncomment the following to define a path alias // Yii::setPathOfAlias('local','path/to/local-folder'); // This is the main Web application configuration. Any writable // CWebApplication properties can be configured here. return array( // the base path to the protected folder // access it using Yii::app()->basePath 'basePath'=>dirname(__FILE__).DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'..',
 

 
// name of application // access it using Yii::app()->name 'name'=>'My website',
 

 
//aliases to specify shortcuts for paths in your app or
 
      // perhaps to external resources for your app
 
      'aliases'=>array(
 
            'myExternalFramework'=>dirname(__FILE__).DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'..'
 
            .DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'..'.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'myexternalframework'
 
        ),
 
 
        //building on above for a controller in the external 
 
        //framework you can use the controller map to map the 
 
        //controller path
 
        'controllerMap'=>array('myController'=>'myExternalFramework.controllers.MyController'),

                // load the appropriate file depending on the configuration your running.
