So I have this project in PHP where I have some include files next to the wwwroot (or doc-root) folder instead of under the wwwroot folder. I need however to run/debug this project. in the project properties I can select a index file (index.php) but it's under the doc-root folder, so the Project URL makes http://myprojectmachine/doc-root/index.php instead of ..://myprojectmachine/index.php. Manually typing in the index file doesn't work as NetBeans states the file isn't found. How can I overcome this in an elegant way?
I just had the same problem yesterday. You can select the correct document root by right-clicking on your project, selecting Properties and clicking the Browse button next to "Web root" in the Sources panel.
you can set the project URL when you create the project, which is the best time to do it if you think of it. It's the bottom option on the page where you choose the directory for the code.
Although, since you've already created it, you can easily change it in the project properties. I'm not 100% sure if this will work if you're doing it on your local machine; the only web-based projects I have open right now I'm working on through SFTP in NetBeans, but changing the settings to local web server, it shows the same option:
In the Projects pane, right-click on the project, and select Properties
Go to Run Configuration in the left-hand side of the window
You should see Project URL as the third option, here you set what you want as the root URL for the project. So you would simply have http://myprojectmachine/

my web that I have coded not uploaded as I expected it show me the directory instead of my page.
when you work in Zamp software, you create a folder in the htdocs folder and then drop your projects in it. For example, if the folder name in the htdocs folder is test and the project name is one, you should go to localhost / test / one. php When you go to this path, the project runs directly. There is another way that you went this way. Write localhost / index, which you opened correctly. Now look for the name of your project in this section and click on it. But if there is no project or the project does not load, there is something wrong with your workplace. Example of code errors and your work path I hope this article has helped you

Project Links do not work on Wamp Server
(13 answers)
Closed 3 years ago.
This is my first time trying to use wamp and I'm having trouble viewing my php project. I know the code works just fine (because it is a copy of currently live site). Basically when I try to view the site on my localhost only the index.php file loads and the image folder. No css folders/files are loading. The links work, so I can navigate my site, but no css.
My project folder is inside the www folder in my localhost. See below my project is called movies.
C:\wamp64\www\movies
When I go to view it at - http://localhost/movies/ , it displays only the html. When I view the sources tab in the console it shows the localhost/movies and inside movies an image folder and index, there should be many other folders including CSS and PHP folder called process.
If you saved the Webpage by CTRL+S the sources to your wamp dir then maybe it didn't download all sources.
I suppose you are using Windows and maybe chrome or firefox. Inspect Element the page you are currently trying to view and find sources .CSS|.JS|.JPG in console then navigate to the file and see if it's working like http:/localhost/assets/js/something.css.
Remember all your files should be inside www folder because it is the root dir accessible for server.
If you are using <? (short open tag) then for Wamp, Left click on wamp, Hover on PHP then hover over PHP Settings, find "short open tag" and finally Click it. Restart Wamp Server.
The reason for this might be due to the links. If your website is example.com and you link to an image /directory/file.jpg, the browser will request domain+uri -> example.com/directory/file.jpg and it works fine.
You run in a directory called movies and you access it via localhost/movies/. You expect that the browser used localhost/movies/directory/file.jpg, but it's not. It's domain+uri -> localhost/directory/file.jpg. As you can see, "/movies" is missing from it, thus it's not finding the file.
There are a few possible solutions. The best one is to add alocal test domain in your vhost file. You can do this by clicking the wamp logo -> 'your virtual hosts' -> 'virtual host management'. This solution is a bit more difficult and might require some more research, but is the long term best solution.
The first input is your website, eg movies.test.
The second is the path, which is c:/wamp64/www/movies/ (or where-ever you have wamp).
Then click start and restart wamp.
You can also set a base path in you html header.
<base href="/localhost/movies" >
And you could also link to your files relative
<img src="./images/file.jpg" />
These last two are easier, but require different values local vs on your production server. That works annoyingly if you have to keep updating it.
I purchased a marketplace template. I am used to see index.html files when I load them into brackets for editing. This template however has an index.php file.
My question is how do I go about editing the index.php file? Would it be the same as I would with an index.html file? Brackets also does not read PHP and I would have to run it from a server with the host name url (something I also don't know how to do).
To execute php files, you have to use a local web server as Billy points out. On Windows and Mac you can use XAMPP to do so, on Linux you should prefer setting up a LAMP-Server (Tutorial).
After you installed your webserver you have to save your files under the server's document root. You can find it at the place where you installed XAMPP under the folder /htdocs (the place on Linux varies, on the latest Ubuntu flavors it should point to /var/www/html) You have to move all the files there. Now, you can open those files in your web browser by opening localhost/your-folder/index.php.
Edit your PHP files as you'd normally do in Brackets, it can handle PHP files. To use the Live Preview feature you have to go to File → Project Settings and enter your path with localhost here (don't add the file name, Brackets will do that for you) e.g. http://localhost/your-folder and you should be all set and running.
You can use live editor to edit your php file such as https://c9.io/ and its one installation is free and that's how you can upload your files: https://docs.c9.io/discuss/5582d455ea39a93900224238 . Just start custom php project and make it private.
For some reason when I create a project in netbeans and go to run the project it also loads the xxamp index file and not the project index file that is apart of the codeigniter installation.

Edit:
Here is my file tree I have right now set up for my project. Why Netbeans creates an important files folder I have no idea for my CI project. I have edited the index file to have the application and system variable to both have the ../system or applicaton as its value. I have changed the Web Root inside the project properties to have a value of public_html and I have also changed the value of the Index File field to say index.php.
After doing this and running the project I would expect to get the default Welcome to Codeigniter page and I don't. I am receiving a message that shows the following. Any ideas on why this is?
Object not found!

I've tried doing some additional research on the topic and have yet to come up with a solution.
Edit 2:
Any ideas from anyone?
Your problem is likely related to your choice of folder layout. Which I assume you do, for "security reasons". That said, NetBeans isn't a server. Its an IDE, so you can't manipulate it the same way you would the server.
Most servers by default define your "root" folder as "public_html" or "www" as far as where it looks by default to serve files for public consumption. Through the use of PHP you can tell the index.php that comes with CodeIgniter to look up one directory outside of the defined root and have it read the file(s) accordingly.
However, to setup a project in netbeans and have all files and folder accounted for accordingly you need to tell it that all your files start in whatever folder they reside. So it can load all the files and read from them respectively. This in essence and in respect to server logic is telling it that the folder that houses
application
public_html
system
is the define root path. So inadvertantly by breaking out of the design of codeigniter and placing the core files outside of what would be your defined root on the server is breaking your project. There is not an index.php depicted in your listing above at the same level that those folders are in. If there is, its the index.php for xxamp that keeps loading for you by default.
What you need to do is stop trying to implement your "security measures" and put them in the right order. Or.. not include that folder in your project telling it the one with assets and index.php is the root path. If netbeans is smart enough it will find the files and folders outside like the server will.
Right click on your project and go to properties. Make sure that in the run configuration the URL is correct and the index file is properly set up and matches your directory in xxamp.
after downloading codeigniter open index.php file and there set your path correctly to your
application folder because i think you putted your index.php inside public_html folder so
the path which is set by default in index.php is not working and can not find application folder, try to fix it and it will work fine your problem is not with netbeans.
When I debug a PHP project in Netbeans with xdebug, I have to select the project root first, and then click on the debug button. That way it works ok, firing the browser with the project's local domain (not localhost, but one I defined).
But if the project root is not selected, suppose some inner folder or file was last clicked on, then if I hit the debug button, instead of using the project's domain, it uses localhost, which on my machine is not the project I'm trying to debug.
Is there a way that the project domain is always used for debugging, instead of localhost?
try this (on netbeans v6.9.1)
Project Properties >> Run Configurations >> Advanced >> Debug URL ::
CHECK "Ask Every Time"
#Your last project URL is automatically saved in history
NetBeans should still debug with the URL you set in Project Properties > Run Configuration > Project URL, at least that's how it works on my install.
