The minimum necessary site structure to run Yii, Part ii

In a previous post , I discussed how to make a minimal site with Yii. Well, here's an even smaller one, with only two files, maybe five lines of code, and no folders:

index.php:
<?
//load yii framework (you'll likely have to change the path):
require_once( dirname(__FILE__).'/../../yii/framework/yii.php' );
//create the app. note that it does not require a config file, you can just pass in an array:
$app = Yii::createWebApplication( array (
  'basePath' => dirname( __FILE__ ) , // if you don't want Protected folder
  'controllerPath' => '' // if you don't want Controllers folder
))->run();

?>
SiteController.php:
<?
class SiteController extends CController
{
  public function actionIndex()
  {
    echo 'hello world';
  }
}
?>
Now, this doesn't work with Gii or crazy things like assets, but that's probably the smallest Yii installation you can make
