Yii 2 Advanced Project Template is a skeleton Yii 2 application best for
developing complex Web applications with multiple tiers.
The template includes three tiers: front end, back end, and console, each of which
is a separate Yii application.
The template is designed to work in a team development environment. It supports
deploying the application in different environments.

Now you should be able to access the application through the following URLs, assuming advanced is the directory
directly under the Web root.
Yii won't create the database for you, this has to be done manually before you can access it.
When using Docker, the MySQL service creates the database automatically.
Check and edit the other files in the config/ directories to customize your application as required.
Refer to the README in the tests directory for information specific to application tests.
TESTING
Tests are located in frontend/tests, backend/tests, and common/tests directories.
They are developed with Codeception PHP Testing Framework.
