This was very helpful, especially to me a newbie to both linux and yii. Thank you very much.

But still its not opening in my browser… Now what to do?

If you want to move your yii website from localhost to a server, then I would recommend that you do that on vps or cloud server. If you don’t have sysadmin skills to setup a server from scratch, then you can use Cloudways Yii hosting platform for that. Using this platform, you can instantly launch a server without have to manually install OS, stack or PHP.
