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.

Answer 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 ', 

);

Answer 2

also there is another way to do that

change the values of public $defaultController property in

framework/web/CWebApplication.php

Answer 3

try to add the configuration in the config main.php

'defaultController' => 'newcontrollername',

after 'name' setting.
