Google app engine Launcher (PHP) / Eclipse - Deleting all my files - php

Im developing (trying to) an app with google app engine for PHP. Im using Eclipse to edit the files and the google app engine launcher to run the project.
The thing is that everytime that i turn my computer offf, when i turn it back on and i check my project all my files have been deleted.
I've tried searching for this problem on google, trying to figure out if it was eclipse's or the launcher's fault, but i didnt get any clues.
As far as i have researched it would be extremely hard to be eclipse's fault.
Did any of you have this same problem? Any ideas of why is it happening and how to fix it?
Honestly, im getting kind of tired of the Google App Engine, when it comes to PHP. The Launcher is so slow, plus i'm having all these problems, the only reason why i'm not that mad this time it's because it had happened before, so i've put all my files on Git repository before turning my computer off the last time, but i don't want to have to do that everytime i turn my computer off.
thanks,

The solution:
It was acctually somethig with Eclipse.
First i've tried reinstalling everything (Eclipse, GAEL), but the same problem kept happening.
So after running out of options, i've tried deleting the .project and .buildpath from the project and import it again.
For now its working :)

Symfony2 "connection reset" only on one route

I've been coding a project for some time. I'm quite new in Symfony2 and php frameworks, but find myself starting to understand it - which is great.
Now however something weird has happened, and I don't know where to start to look.
I was coding a scraper combining Symfony2 and casperjs - it has been working for some time and I was just dusting it off.
Suddenly I get a "connection reset" in Firefox. I try some other routes and they work fine. I try changing the route with a problem, but the same error pops up. I have tried the following:
delete the caches
isolating the casperjs part (works fine)
restart the server
restart apache
checking apache logfiles
checking symfony logfiles
But nothing of the above gives me any clues. Can the problem be with the virtual-host file when it is only a problem for a subpart of the site and not the site in general?
Any ideas is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rune
Found the problem in my code.
I did not read the error-log of the project vhost properly.
For others with similar problems the error-log is a great place to start :)

How do I stop heroku from restarting a 3rd party script? (Vanilla Forums)

(Sorry, newbie here)
So I managed to push my local php web app to their servers, using the tutorial I've found on the net on how to push php projects. It worked perfectly fine.
Now, when I load my site. The script installation appears (Vanilla Forums) and so I did the proper installation and used the CLEARDB add-on to provide MYSQL database for the site.
The forum is only part of my whole website, the problem is.. every time I change something on my website, git commit it and pushing to heroku.. The app installation of vanilla forums reappears.
How could I stop git or heroku from changing the forum part to it's last commited state?
(Note that I have successfully installed the forum software but when I commit and push because of a small update to other part of my site, the forum software reinstall again)
For better understanding:
My site url: http://codeknack.herokuapp.com
The forum url: http://codeknack.herokuapp.com/forum
This is the structure of my whole website:
index.php
challenges/
meetups/
tutorials/
community/
forum/
where in the forum folder lies the vanilla forum php script and when I edit just part of the index.php of my website, vanilla forum shows the installation screen again.
(If I am too vague, please tell me what part you are confused at)
This will really help a lot, thank you!
That's why they invented the .gitignore file. You can specify files, directories, and wildcards to be ignored by git.

How can I get a Zend Framework project to run on IIS?

I am trying to get the Zend Framework (ver 9 Studio) to deploy and actually run on my local IIS server.
I have created a very simple little app using the built-in wizard. It works fine if I run it on the Apache server that comes with Zend. But I tried to copy the files over and run it on IIS, and I get errors.
It appears that it is missing the links to the libraries. I've tried manually isolating and grabbing the missing libraries and putting them into the /library folder. This is a good start but I still get other errors down the road.
I found a tutorial out there that comes with an example of a Zend Project that runs in IIS. But, it pretty much has the same problems as the project I created. More missing libraries. The tutorial includes some neat new tricks like a web.config that is supposed to replace the need for the .htaccess that Apache uses.
That's how far I've made it. This is all very frustrating. Does anyone have a simple example like that tutorial promised? If not, just some good information would be helpful.
you need the rewrite module, Rob Allen has a little tutorial to help. The biggest problem is usually the rewrite module, because you have to install it seperately.

PHP Command Line running, zend framework set up problem

Im trying to learn how to set up a Zend framework web application from scratch. Ive been using Magento and I understand how powerful Zend is, but im over my head it seems like.
So I bought a book, developing web applications with Zend 1.8 by Keith Pope, and I cant even follow past the first chapter. The thing that is confusing the hell out of me is the whole command line deal.
Here is a passage from the book --
Once we have downloaded the Zend Framework release package, we need to do some basic installation before we can start creating our application. First, create a new directory within your web server's document root, from which the application will be served. The examples in this chapter use the directory name of helloZend. Next, copy the library and bin directories from the release package into the newly created directory. The library directory contains all of the Zend Frameworks
source files, and the bin directory contains the command line interface for the
Zend Framework. The Zend Framework is now installed and ready for use!
Creating the project structure
We are now ready to start creating the directory structure for our project. In order to do this, we are going to use the command line interface provided by the Zend Framework. This interface uses the Zend_Tool component that provides a whole host of commands that makes it very easy to get up and running with the Zend Framework in just a few minutes.
In order to create the project structure, open up your command line and change into the hellozend directory, and then run the following command:
For Windows users:
bin\zf.bat create project
For Linux and Mac users:
bin/zf.sh create project
Ok so Ive done all that. But up above in first part he says upload it to your web server, did that already. But then "open up your command line", how exactly do I do this? The only command line I understand I can access is Terminal, do I do something with Terminal or??? (Im on a mac) - I tried navigating straight to bin/zf.sh on my webserver and it brought up a what do you want to open this link with, I chose terminal and nothing happened.
Can someone clarify this for me? I realize this may be a stupid question, but I have zero experience working with non live servers and what not....
I've been a ZF developer for several years, but was working on a pre- 1.5 version up until very recently (not by choice) I found it easiest to build a local version on my machine via ZendServer CE, then once all was running and stable, port it over to my dev server. Because I have full root permissions locally, I didn't run into any issues of naming/permissions as I walked through the initial tutorial of new features and initial setup.
Also, don't miss Akrabat's tutorial on getting started the ZF. It's very well written and in some cases easier to understand than the quickstart: http://akrabat.com/wp-content/uploads/Getting-Started-with-Zend-Framework.pdf
I don't say this to developers often, but you are in over your head if you don't yet understand how to open and use a command-line shell. Your question is not stupid -- everyone has to get started somewhere. But Stack Overflow is a place for specific questions about programming, like "I tried X and it didn't do what I expected, how should I code it instead?"
All I can suggest to you is to start studying. I believe that it's counter-productive to try learning new tools at the same time as trying to get a project done. So spend some time just learning the Terminal interface and how to run things in that environment.
Google for "Mac Terminal tutorial" and a bunch of useful articles and YouTube videos come up. Start there.
I also recommend "Mac OS X: The Missing Manual".
Re your comment: Okay, I think I'm seeing the source of your confusion. What the excerpt is not saying is that you need to open a shell on the host where you're developing your ZF app. What I do is to develop the project on my local host (my Macbook) so I can have quick access for moving files around and so on. This means I run an instance of Apache running on my Mac.
Then at intervals, when the app is running and done with respect to a given milestone of functionality, I upload the whole set of files I developed to my production server.
Tell me if I'm getting warmer. I really can't tell what you know and what you don't know because of the way you've asked your question.
anyone who needs the basic understanding of connecting to a webserver via terminal or command line via ssh should read the following:
http://www.elated.com/articles/ssh-and-basic-commands/
Although, the information there didn't work with my particular webhost. I had to format the connect command like this:
ssh user#host -p 1234
Where 1234 is the servers port number, which you will need to get from your webhost if you dont know it.
To run that script, navigate to directory where you've uploaded it (you open terminal, connect to your server via ssh if you're doing this remotely).
After that execute it like this:
./zf create project your_project_name
It should create new dir named "your_project_name" and in it many other sub-directories for your application.
Also, I'd recommend that you go for http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/learning.quickstart.html instead that book - Quick Start really is great.

How to manage eclipse project on remote computer; ssh, ftp?

Usually I'm creating project work space on my localhost (win). As soon as my code is tested I'm committing it into repository.
But some days ago I've faced a little difficulty. My customer want me to write code right on his server because he have some handmade binaries working only on his machine (solaris). I really don't know what to do. I've tried Eclipse plugin for connecting to remote servers, but I'm still unable to create remote project.
Any ideas?
PS: Sorry for my English :)
Thank you.
You don't really need a plugin to accomplish your goal. The following tutorial is aimed at Zend Studio, but I believe the information is generic enough that you can use it with just Eclipse: http://kb.zend.com/index.php?View=entry&EntryID=414
