How to make PhpStorm access a proper directory? - phpstorm

I'm running Linux Mint. My existing projects are located at the /var/www/* folders. But when I'm trying to create a new project then the PhpStorm's file browser is not showing me that folder at all. Like there is just no /var/www folder, but I know it is there and is having a full access permissions (0777).
In addition it shows for example a folder /var/data/JetBrains which is not actually available in my system (terminal: cd /var/data - no such file or directory).
So it seems like it is showing some kind of its own /var folder (virtualized?), not the one that is actually in my system. How can I solve this problem, how can I make it so it use my system's /var folder?

Solved. Do not install the PhpStorm from the Mint's software manager. It comes there in some kind of wrapper that isolates the filesystem.

How do I modify the defaul graphdb.home directory?

I have installed GraphDB Free v9.3 in LinuxMint 19.3.
The workbench is running fine though I haven't created any repositories yet. This is because I have noticed that although the application is installed at /opt/graphdb-free, the data, conf and log files are in a hidden folder below my home folder: /home/ianpiper/.graphdb/conf (etc).
I would prefer to store these folders on a separate volume, mounted at /mnt/bigdata. In the documentation it suggests that I can set graphdb.home using the graphdb.properties file (though I don't seem to have such a file in my installation) or in the startup script. I think this script might be /opt/graphdb-free/app/bin/setvars.in.sh, and that I could use this to change
-Dgraphdb.home=""
to
-Dgraphdb.home="/mnt/bigdata"
Could a knowledgeable person advise as to whether my understanding is correct, and if so what the best way is to change the location of graphdb.home?
Thanks,
Ian.

yii2 - All Files and Folders permissions are messed up. What should be the permissions of yii2 framework's directory hierarchy

I moved the complete yii2 installation from one server to another with the help of FileZilla. Sadly, Filezilla don't keep the file permissions by default, and now I'm facing issues with file / directory permissions. I would like to know what's the file permissions for different directories and files in the yii2 directory hierarchy.
You should not transfer the project this way.
Currently it's the era of version control (especially Git) and Composer.
Once you created you project locally and put it under version control, you push it to your main repository and then deploy it to production server.
No need to use Filezilla or something like that.
If your hoster limits you in that, it's better to switch to another one.
In your current situation comparing and setting permissions manually can be very tidious, some of the permissions are set during init command.
So I recommend to deploy it again using version control and Composer instead of struggling with manual permissions setting.
But just in case, I checked production server, most of the folder permissions are 0755, for files - 0644. Folders like runtime, assets have 0777 permissions and set with init command as I mentioned above.
Locally I use Vagrant and pretty much everything here has 0777 permission.

Files not showing up in Nitrous.io desktop sync folder

I loaded up the Nitrous.io desktop sync app and then installed the mean.io stack on my box. For some reason I can't get any of the files to sync with my desktop. My keys are working fine, but there are no files syncing. There doesn't seem to be a lot of info in the docs on why this could be happening.
The key thing is mentioned in the Nitrous.io docs in this line:
"...the content within your ~/workspace/ folder will be synced into the newly created Nitrous folder once enabled."
This apparently means ONLY the stuff inside workspace (which is not root, so somewhat confusing) will be synced. So, a key missing step is that if you do anything outside the workspace folder, IT WILL NOT BE SYNCED. This includes installing frameworks or other software via the command line. You have to cd into the ~/workspace folder before installing anything or it won't be synced. Seems like a small thing to miss but it makes a big difference when nothing gets pulled down.
In the command line, type this before you install anything like node, bower, etc.
cd ~/workspace

How can I stop "jekyll build" from overwriting existing files in the output directory?

The source for my Jekyll-powered website lives in a git repo, but the website also needs to have a couple large static files that are too large to go under version control. Thus, they are not part of the Jekyll build pipeline.
I would like for these to simply live in an assets directory in the Jekyll destination (which is a server directory; note that I don't have have any control over the server here; all I can do is dump static files into a designated directory) that does not exist in the git repo. But, running jekyll build deletes everything in the output directory.
Is there a way to change Jekyll's behavior in this case? Or is there some other good way to handle this issue?
Not sure this addresses the specific case in the OP, but seeing as how I kept getting to this page when I finally found an answer here, I thought I'd add an answer to this question in case it helps others.
I have a git post-hook that builds my jekyll site in my webhost when I push to my host, but it was also deleting anything else that I had FTP'ed over. So now I've put anything I need to stick around in a directory (external/ in my case), and added the following to my _config.yml:
exclude: [external]
keep_files: [external]
and now files in external/ survive.
If you upload Jekyll's output directory via FTP to your server, you can use a FTP tool that lets you ignore folders.
For example, my own site is built with Jekyll, but hosted on my own webspace, so I'm uploading it via FTP.
I explained in this answer how I scripted the building and uploading process, so I can update my site with a single click.
In my case (Windows), I used WinSCP, a free command-line FTP client, for this.
If you're not on Windows, you need to use something else, but there are probably other FTP tools out there that are able to ignore folders.
To ignore your assets folder in WinSCP, you just need to put this line into the script file:
(the file which contains the actual WinSCP commands - read my other answer for more information)
option exclude "assets/"
Now you can upload your large assets folder on the server once, and it won't be overwritten/deleted when you later update your site via FTP.

Adding an external project directory in phpStorm 6.0 to keeping workspace files separated from code?

I am try to keep separate workspace directory and code directories in my php project and sweating to understand/find how this could be achieved. A couple of revisions back I tried phpStorm and found that it does not provide such feature.
I just want to know if phpstorm 6.0 has this feature or still lacking it ? If possible please help me out.
Work Around
File > Settings >[Directories]
+[Add Content Root] to add external directory
Assuming that you have created project separate from code.Some of the tool might not work
as expected
This works for linux using sshfs, sorry for windows users.
I've created this folder structure in my pc
/mnt/remote_code/code/
And i have to mount code from server like this
sshfs user#server:/var/www/server_code/ /mnt/remote_code/code/
Code from server will be mounted in code folder
In PS I open this directory: /mnt/remote_code/
So, that means PS will create this folder /mnt/remote_code/.idea (indexing and saving all project and ide settings), and keeps the code folder (with remote code inside) without changes.
Hope it help you.
Greetings.
