Get base URL in Yii console application

Question

How to get base URL in a Yii CConsoleApplication application?

I tried Yii::app()->request->getBaseUrl(true) and ended up with the following error.

Undefined index: SERVER_NAME (/var/www/yii/framework/web/CHttpRequest.php:279)

URL in console? Can you give an example of desired result? – Evgeniy Chekan Dec 19 '12 at 11:31 — Evgeniy Chekan, Dec 19 '12 at 11:31

There is no request object in a console application. the request object in a web application its an instance of CHttpRequest, if you are generating URLs in an offline task, you have to configure the baseUrl in some other way, perhaps in the configuration:

"request" => array(
    'hostInfo' => 'http://localhost',
    'baseUrl' => '/yii-project/index-test.php',
),

// OR

'request' => array(
    'hostInfo' => 'http://localhost',
    'baseUrl' => '/yii-project',
    'scriptUrl' => 'index-test.php',
),

Thanks, Where should I place this? – Harish Ambady Dec 20 '12 at 04:56
this should go into your console configuration file, in the components section, that is normally protected/config/console.php – Asgaroth Dec 20 '12 at 14:37

For Yii2 advanced template, create params.php file if it doesn't exist in config directory of your console or common app and paste the following code:

return [
   'frontendUrl' => 'http://yourdomain.com'
];

So that it can be accessed in the following way in console:

echo Yii::$app->params['frontendUrl'];

You have to add in config/console.php in components array

'request' => array(
    'hostInfo' => 'http://localhost',
    'baseUrl' => '',
    'scriptUrl' => '',
),

and also add urlManager so it will remove index.php?r=site/action from the url and you will have pretty urls

'urlManager' => array(
    'urlFormat' => 'path',
    'showScriptName' => false,
    'rules' => array(
        '<controller:\w+>' => '<controller>/index',
        '<controller:\w+>/<id:\d+>' => '<controller>/view',
        '<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>/<id:\d+>' => '<controller>/<action>',
        '<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>' => '<controller>/<action>',
    ),
),
