In the installation instructions for Yii it is nescessary to use console and command line utility - yiic.
Well, on my shared hosting I don't have ssh access.
This is why I have following questions:
- How often and for what reasons will I have to use console?
- Is there a way to avoid using yiic?
- May I run yiic on local server and then just transfer everything to the final web server?
Thanks!
