Hi all.

I'm deploying my Yii 2 PHP application in Google Cloud Platform, using App Engine. Locally, the app works fine, but it doesn't work at Google Cloud. I dont't know how to configure my application to work wit Goocle Cloud Storage. I have this code at config/web.php:

'components' => [

'assetManager' => [

'basePath'=>'gs://url-to-my-bucket',

'baseUrl'=>'@web',

],

But I have the next exception:

Locally, I use this code:

'components' => [

'assetManager' => [

'basePath'=>'@webroot',

'baseUrl'=>'@web',

],

And it works, but in Google Cloud I have another exception:

¿What can I do? I don't have experience with Yii 2 and also wit Google Cloud :(

Thank you very much, sorry if my English is not very well.

Are you able to connect locally to Google Cloud Storage? Are you using a standard or flexible App Engine environment? Which PHP version are you working on?

It is important to know if you are using a flexible or standard environment since flex environment is compatible with PHP 7.2 and 7.3 runtimes, and standard is compatible with PHP 8.1, but in its preview phase [1], [2]. You can use PHP 8.1 in flex environment, but you need to use custom runtimes [5] and provide a custom Docker image or Dockerfile from the open source community.

How to know if you are in a Standard or Flexible environment:

In your app.yaml, find the runtime line.

If it looks similar to the following:

runtime: php81 # Replace with php74 to use PHP 7.4

Then you are running under a standard environment [3].

And if it looks like this other example:

runtime: python

env: flex

runtime_config:

python_version: 3

Then you are using a flexible environment for the deployment [4].
