Question

I have two entry scripts on my application, as specified here. How can I set the route to redirect /example.com/admin to example.com/backend.php

Thanks.

Take a look at the documentation about URL management:

• http://www.yiiframework.com/doc/guide/1.1/en/topics.url

Without knowing the details of your setup, in your protected/config/main.php (if main.php is you application configuration file), you would need something along this:

// note: this is extracted from a project which uses 'friedly urls',
//       depending on your setup, YMMV
'urlManager'=>array(
    'urlFormat'=>'path',
    'showScriptName' => false,
    'rules'=>array(
        '<controller:\w+>/<id:\d+>'=>'<controller>/view',
        '/admin'=>'/backend',    // <-- define your custom routes/redirects here
    ),
),
