Which folder to add a public accessible file in yii-framework?

Question

I need to upload a public accessible file in yii installation which I can access from url. This is domain verification file. I've uploaded it in /frontend/web folder but it's not accessible directly via url mydomain.com/file.txt

As pointed out below, .htaccess file may be preventing this file to be accessible. Can anyone let me know how to write rule in .htaccess file to allow it?

Answer 1

If you get the following error.

You don't have permission to access /frontend/web/ on this server.

Then, add the following rule in your .htaccess

<Directory "/path/to/frontend/web/">
   Options +Indexes
   Allow from all
</Directory>

Here the documentation about Apache .htaccess permissions

Answer 2

This might help

<Files *.*>
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
</Files>
 
<Files ~ "^index\.php|css|js|.*\.png|.*\.jpg|.*\.gif|.*\.jpeg|.*\.ttf">
  Allow from all
</Files>
