Answer 1

Yii-Bootstrap is no longer preloaded, so now must use path alias. Do this. Download the lastest version of yii-bootstrap. In the first line of your main.php config paste:

Yii::setPathOfAlias('bootstrap', dirname(__FILE__).'/../extensions/bootstrap');

And configure the extension like this:

'components'=>array(
        [...]
    'bootstrap' => array(
                //'class' => 'ext.bootstrap.components.Bootstrap'),
                'class'=>'bootstrap.components.Bootstrap'),

And you are done.

Answer 2

I ran into this on my production server even though it worked fine locally.

The solution was to grant apache ownership to the yii installation:

sudo chown www-data:www-data -R /var/www/yourapp

previously ownership was root and apache couldn't see the files

Answer 3

I was having the same problem. I granted full(777) permission to the extension folder.

Try it.

Answer 4

Make sure you assign [read] access permission to extensions/bootstrap that you uncompressed.

If you are on Mac / Linux, execute:

chmod 755 bootstrap

On windows, right click on the folder, and assign read access to Apache's account. Sometimes assigning read access to "Everyone" is acceptable too (depending if you care about security or not, though).
