true, but isn't the idea to eventually replicate the local environment to 'los cloud'? Thanks for the quick reply, btw.

Hello. I'm working through the most excellent The Yii Book. The app I'm working on is named myApp. For development I use XAMPP on my mac and the htdocs directory contains various projects (in various states of disarray and madness), so the structure is something like: XAMPP ->xampfiles ->htdocs -myApp (the Yii Book) -anotherApp -someWordpressThing -EdwardPlaysTennis I followed the setup instructions in The Yii Book and moved the "protected" & "framework" folders outside of my htdocs folder. Something seems not so right about that as now the model, view & controller and other folders associated with myApp are in the "protected" folder - external to myApp. At some point, I figure I will develop another Yii application on my machine. I can't have two "protected" folders in the same folder. Did I do something boneheaded (wouldn't be the first time) or does one rename the "protected" folder while developing another Yii app? Why doesn't one keep all of the associated folders inside of that App's space? Thanks for the info. Rock on.
