Moving the vendor directory for multiple projects

How-tos

config, yii2, yii2 intallation

1. the **/web/index.php** and **yii** (right under the project directory -- for Yii command from CLI). change the two lines of required file path (**autoload.php** & **yii.php**) to the correct vendor location.
2. the **/config/web.php**. add **vendorPath** to the config with your vendor directory.

```php
$config = [
    // if your framework vendor directory is moved to another place     // which is not standard, then set the vendorPath attribute to     // the new vendor directory. 'vendorPath' => '../../frameworks/yii2', 'components' => [...]     // ... other configs ] ``` ### Composer As the vendor is moved from **/var/www/html/myapp/vendor** to **/var/www/html/frameworks/yii2**, you will find problem installing a new extension or updating the existing through **composer** command. tTo fix it, modify your **composer.json** (right under your project directory) by adding the **vendor-dir** attribute under the **config** section, eg: ```php // other settings ... "config": {     "vendor-dir":"/var/www/html/frameworks/yii2",     "process-timeout": 1800 }, // other settings ... ``` Also, you may find **"a man-in-the-middle attack"** message when either update or install the new extension (i don't know if there is a relation to the modification of **composer.json** but i get it several times during experimenting this). ts).
 
To fix it run **composer update --dry-run**. Done!
