Coldfusion Builder Project Path - configuration

I just started using CF Builder with the included CF server 11 I want to use it to continue a project I had started on CF 10 and Dreamweaver.
CF builder insists on creating projects as subdirectories of the server root
wwwroot/project.
The project I am trying to import has a lot of includes and links that refer to the home directory:
Example: <cfinclude template="/includes/header.cfm">
That causes fails as the correct path should now be:
<cfinclude template="/project/includes/header.cfm">
But I can't modify all the links in the project that way as when it's deployed it needs to keep the links as they are now.
How can I configure CF builder to either recognize wwwroot/project/ as the "/" home for this particular project, or just work off wwwroot?

I figured it out. The best way to do this is to set up virtual hosts - each a directory. That way it should match the structure that CFB expects.
where there is a wwwroot - but each project is a subdirectory which can be it's own "home".

PhpStorm with common library folder

Here is how our server is set up:
/var/www/vhosts:
composer.json
library/
vendor/
website1/
website2/
website3...
We think of the whole server as one project. Today I only care about website1 (and composer.json, library, vendor). But the base URL is going to be website1.com.
How do I set that up? Is my project root /var/www/vhosts or /var/www/vhosts/website1?

loading html page into rails server

I created the whole responsive site in notepad - shop.html. I
can see its directory in rails. Put all my files in public folder of its rails app. Now I dont know how to load it in localhost:3000. How do i do that. Have configured everything. Rails server is running and It shows only the default index.html file. But when i write rails generate controller eshop. It says uninitialized constant welcome error.
PS: i m new to ruby.
All guides show how to create a new app but I couldnt find a way to load a html page already created in editor to load in browser using rails server.
Thanks in advance.
Since you generated a controller you need to put the content from your shop.html file into the /views/eshop/index.html.erb file
Open the routes file under config/routes.rb and change the following line
from:
root "welcome#index"
to:
root "eshop#index"
this way your app will point to the right file.
Subsequently you could just point the root to the shop.html file which I do not recommend. However you should definitely look into routing in rails and how it works.

Publishing NopCommerce

I have my site up and running, but because of number of changes, i decided to publish an updated version. Before doing so i have made backup of my files and databases on the host, just in case.
Now this is what i did: Publish Nop.Web used FTP, configuration is set to release and from file publish options checked Delete all existing files prior to publish, as i was publishing to the same folder wwwroot. After publish was completed NopCommerce installation appeared (btw i would like to use the same db i used before) even tho settings.txt from the project I was publishing had the correct string path. I tried 2-3 times to pass the installation with no success (error: One or more sequence... something like that), checked settings.txt on the host and it was empty (no idea why), but i just edited it with the string path.
Now installation is gone i have my site running again with all the products and user information (i assume that means string path to db is good), but my theme is reseted to default, like all my changes to it (footer links, background, logo, favicon..etc etc) only thing that stayed as it should was the nivo slider widget that has the correct pictures displaying on this 'reseted' theme.
Checked General settings for theme settings if its the correct theme selected.
Also i have noticed this, i assume with those 2-3 unsuccesful install tried i have made some changes in db

Any suggestions how to sort this whole thing, before publishing i was running my site locally and it was good, i have backups of db and files(ones that i used before this publish)
I am using Nop version 3.4 and arvixe hosting. Sorry for my long post but i wanted to describe my steps and error as detailed as possible.
Thanks for reading and looking forward for your suggestions about this.
I haven't tried publishing features of NopCommerce version > 3.10, but you can try a more "manual" approach to make sure that files are properly updated on the server.
In short, you get files from your local machine which are needed for the built website and you upload them to your website folder on the server. You can make a backup and empty the server website folder first.
I presented that approach in this answer:
How to deploy nopCommerce 3.5 to new server from source?
You can check this batch script to see which files need to be sent to the server. The script also includes some suggestions about what else you may need to do to update the website on the server: https://gist.github.com/dan-mirescu/c14cc72e3f8ecca988b7
For Publishing the NopCommerce Application website below is the step:
Step : 1 - Publish the Nop.Web project.
Step : 2 - Publish the Nop.Admin project.
Go to the publish folder where your publish created
Step : 3 - Cut all dll from the Administration and Paste all dll to bin folder which in main bin folder for whole project
Step : 4 - Copy two things from your source project and in App_Data folder Settings.txt and InstalledPlugins.txt which is not published in your publish file so paste this two files in your publish folder in App_Data. (You need to change the connection string in Setting.txt as per your database host).
Step : 5 - Now you need to copy whole plugins folder from your source folder (but remember this plugins folder you need to copy from the Presentation folder not from the main source where the solution file are there.).
Step : 6 - Now your publish have been ready.(now you can deploy on hosting server)

Subdirectories in openshift project cannot be found

I built a site using a php openshift project and accessing the root directory via http works fine. However, all the root directories give me a 404 not found, like this one: http://test.toppagedesign.com/sites/
I checked with ssh, and /app-root/repo/sites and app-deployments/current/repo/sites/ both exist.
EDIT
Added a directory called php and now I have 503 errors for everything...
EDIT 2
I deleted the php directory, now the 503 errors are gone. However, I do still get 404 errors for the subdirectory.
Here is my directory tree: http://pastebin.com/hzPCsCua
And I do use git to deploy my project.
php is one of the alternate document roots that you can use, please see the March Release blog post here about this (https://www.openshift.com/blogs/openshift-online-march-2014-release-blog)
As for the sub-directories not working, can you ssh into your server and use the "tree" command to post the directory/file structure of your project? Also are you using Git to deploy your project or editing files directly on the server?
You need to have an index.php or index.html file in any directory that you want to work like app-domain.rhcloud.com/sites , if you just have sub-directories, how would it know what to show? Also, indexing (showing a folders contents) is not enabled for security reasons, and I believe there is no way to enable it.
This sounds like it could be a problem with how you are serving your static content.
I recently created a new sample app for OpenShift that includes:
a basic static folder
an .htaccess file (for serving assets in production)
support for using php's local server to handle the static content (in your dev environments)
Composer and Silex - a great starting point for most new PHP apps
You can serve the project locally if you have PHP-5.4 (or better), available in your dev environment:
php -S localhost:8080 -t static app.php
For a more advanced project that is built on the same foundation, take a look at this PHP+MongoDB mapping example. I wrote up a blog post with some notes on my process for composing that app as well.
Hope these examples help!

Publish an angular web app with codeigniter Rest

I have made a web app with angular 5 and a Codeigniter Rest (two separated folders) and now i want to put it on a free host to try it.
But someone told me to integrate my front part (angular) inside my back part (codeigniter). But i can't figure this out.
Does someone have some link for a tuto about this please ?
You can host your both backend and front end in apache server. Put the backend code in the home dir inside some other folder. For angular you can try the command from the root dir of angular from your local machine ng build --prod make sure to change the api urls in it to the hosted php url. Once the build is completed it will create a folder named dist. You can copy that into your websites public directory. Please keep in mind that once you made a change you have to take build again and upload it. I don't know any other ways exists for that. For the backend upload your db and change it's settings accordingly first. Make sure you are able to call the api.
