Were do I find local Joomla installation on XAMPP? - php

I know that I'm missing something obvious here. I installed XAMPP on my Mac to develop a Joomla site locally. Everything has gone fine and I'm now ready to migrate to my site to my external server, but I can't find it...
The Joomla documentation says that the local directory using XAMPP should be at xampp/www/directory, but there is no "www" folder anywhere in Applications/XAMPP and I can't find any other xampp folders anywhere on my hard drive. Where do I find the files I need to FTP to the server??
All help very appreciated!

You can use the find command to fine php files for your joomla installation :) Eg:
find / -name index.php

Which directory should I locate the PHP project in to make it work with XAMPP?

I installed XAMPP on my Macbook, and now I try to upload a PHP project to build an Android application that communicates with and uses MySQL.
As a newbie, I even do not have a clue where to locate the PHP project so that the XAMPP recognises it and make it work.
In your xampp folder you will see the folder named htdocs.YOu can place your project in that htdocs folder.
You can run that project by using
localhost/yourproject_folder_name
in your browser.
Hope this will help.

How to live preview PHP using MAMP

I am creating a WP theme (for personal use only) and I need to be able to preview PHP files.
Here's where I'm at so far:
I use Adobe's Brackets.
I have a server on Bluehost.
I have downloaded FileZilla and linked it to my bluehost server.
I have created a directory on my bluehost server: /public_html/wp-content/themes/Cookie
I have downloaded an FTP Sync extension in Brackets, and synced it to the root directory of my theme (/public_html/wp-content/themes/Cookie).
I have installed MAMP on my mac (although never used it and have no idea what to do next).
I have contact Adobe Brackets and they have said this: "If you have a MAMP (or other PHP server) set up, you just need to change the File->Project Settings"
But I have no idea what to do now I have downloaded MAMP.
As you can probably tell, I'm a bit of a noob so please explain things delicately :)
Thanks in advance!!!!
download Wordpress from wordpress.org, install it locally on your MAMP, it shoud have a folder called www or data, reading the docs is recommended. Then, download your theme from your hosting and to the wp-content/themes/ folder, now start a new project, it's gonna be easier.
When your theme is ready, upload it to the server again.
Hope this helps.
I had the same issue but figured it out with the help of your question.
So this is for brackets newcomers like myself :)
Guide for Mac:
Setting up Server
Download and install MAMP
Go to MAMP Preferences
Change the "document root to your project
Brackets Setting:
Open Brackets
Make sure the "Enable Experimental Live Preview" IS OFF! (File > Enable...)
Go to File > project setting
copy and paste this default MAMP server address (http://localhost:8888/) [or change according to your MAMP setting]
Thats it you have got your live preview up and running!

Zend framework application to apache2 webserver

This is probably a noob question but i'm really new to this thing (zend application & apache2 servers)
previous developers have given me the source code for the project they did and he said that it was created with Zend framework. I've managed to run it on my computer (Windows 7) under XAMPP server. If I go to http://****(mylocalcomputer)/ it will work. But once I copy all (3 folders) of them on the Ubuntu web server we have, it's not working. I've tried pointing the directory (configuring /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/default000) to the public folder like the ones I did on XAMPP httpd.conf, but it's still not working...
After trying it in chrome, I go to inspect element, and going thru console, it's telling me all the files mentioned with 404 not found errors. But when I browse with winscp to the directories, I can find those files. Help please... thanks in advance...
SOLVED this problem...I just have to carefully configure all the Aliases and Directory Root properly. THANKS to this website, I was able to check all the possible causes and errors of that default000 file!

How to add files to /var/www/html

I've been working with a WAMP setup on windows, while learning PHP and MySQL. Lately, I wanted to try to put some of my work online and signed up for Rackspace, and I've now set up a LAMP environment for my server with centOS 6.5.
When I worked off of my own WAMP environment, all files were inside wamp/www as the root directory.
Now, I understand that my root directory for my web environment will be /var/www/html.
To be clear, I am logged as root, so I'm not interested in changing permission. I'm simply interested in learning how to add files into this directory, which the existing posts on stackoverflow or rackspace does not seem to have an answer for.
I'm completely new to Linux and I'm using Putty to write to my linux server. Could someone please walk me through the process of putting files into and taking files out of /var/www/html?
Use pscp from the putty suite, to copy your files from your machine to the server via scp.

how to copy php files from working directory to local www folder from intellij 13

I have always been using netbeans to develop php project but wanted to give a try to see how intellij Ultimate (version 13 in this case). After installing the php plugin, and created a simple web application project, I got lost. Turns out to some hours of googling and trial and error I couldn't find that small thing that could say check to copy the the files to remote location or remote server etc.
I am running fedora 19 with apache2 so my root directory is /var/www/html/phpproject. I am hoping to see my files from /media/blacksensei/Repo/work/intellijworkspace/phpproject/src copied to that folder so that I can have access to it via http://localhost/phpproject.
Can anyone explain this process simply for me.
Thank you
I'm not php developer. But what I see that it is quite simple:
Create Run/Debug configuration for PHP Web aplication
Tap + in Before launch section
Choose Upload to Remote Host and configure it
