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.
I created this little html file test.html:
<p>It works!</p>
and try to host it with apache. I downloaded and installed XAMPP and started apache. But where to put test.html so i can access it in the browser?
I search now for 30 minutes but can't find anything to start with.
xampp/htdocs folder, this is where index.html takes place.
You can access it via your browser like this: http://localhost/index.html
In order to add/view new files/projects, just add them to htdocs directory and access them via localhost/filename address.
Hope it works :)
In XAMPP root directory you can find 'htdocs' folder. You could create here a new folder for each web that you want to create and put inside your files. You can access in your browswer like:
http://localhost/test.html
http://localhost/NewFolder/test.html
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.
I understand that the root of xampp is the htcdocs directory - but I want to create my own directory in my home folder and have that server as my root so that I don't have to go through a million folders to save a file.
I can accomplish this using a symbolic link, but is there a better way to do this????
Thanks so much.
You'll need to edit your httpd.conf file and the restart the server. There should be two things you'll need to replace: the DocumentRoot={current} and a . Just replace the existing path with the path you'd like it to be and restart apache. It should now be serving from the new directory instead of the old one.
You can also use virtual hosts to assign the directory in your home folder to a new domain/ipaddress/port/whatever, but that's quite a bit harder to do.
You can use following link to create Virtual Host -

Although this is for WAMP. Same information can be used for XAMP
I am just getting started on developing a website. All I have at the moment is a HTML page supported by a couple of CSS stylesheets.
Can I create a WAR file from the HTML and CSS pages? How do I deploy them on to a Tomcat server?
Thanks.
There is no real need to create a war to run it from Tomcat. You can follow these steps
Create a folder in webapps folder e.g. MyApp
Put your html and css in that folder and name the html file, which you want to be the starting page for your application, index.html
Start tomcat and point your browser to url "http://localhost:8080/MyApp". Your index.html page will pop up in the browser
Here's my setup: I am on Ubuntu 9.10.
Now, Here's what I did.
Create a folder named "tomcat6-myapp" in /usr/share.
Create a folder "myapp" under /usr/share/tomcat6-myapp.
Copy the HTML file (that I need to deploy) to /usr/share/tomcat6-myapp/myapp. It must be named index.html.
Go to /etc/tomcat6/Catalina/localhost.
Create an xml file "myapp.xml" (i guess it must have the same name as the name of the folder in step 2) inside /etc/tomcat6/Catalina/localhost with the following contents.
< Context path="/myapp" docBase="/usr/share/tomcat6-myapp/myapp" />
This xml is called the 'Deployment Descriptor' which Tomcat reads and automatically deploys your app named "myapp".
Now go to http://localhost:8080/myapp in your browser - the index.html gets picked up by tomcat and is shown.
I hope this helps!
Here's my step in Ubuntu 16.04 and Tomcat 8.
Copy folder /var/lib/tomcat8/webapps/ROOT to your folder.
cp -r /var/lib/tomcat8/webapps/ROOT /var/lib/tomcat8/webapps/{yourfolder}
Add your html, css, js, to your folder.
Open "http://localhost:8080/{yourfolder}" in browser
Notes:
If you using chrome web browser and did wrong folder before, then clean web browser's cache(or change another name) otherwise (sometimes) it always 404.
The folder META-INF with context.xml is needed.
If you want to create a .war file you can deploy to a Tomcat instance using the Manager app, create a folder, put all your files in that folder (including an index.html file) move your terminal window into that folder, and execute the following command:
zip -r <AppName>.war *
I've tested it with Tomcat 8 on the Mac, but it should work anywhere
(Answers are pretty old, so here's what worked for me on Ubuntu 20.04 Tomcat9)
As root
cd /var/lib/tomcat9/webapps
mkdir -p myapp
cd myapp
cat >>index.html
<html><body>MY SIMPLE PAGE </body></html>
control-D # Press CONTROL+D to exit 'cat', create the file 'index.html'
systemctl restart tomcat9
In browser, use URL: http://127.0.0.1/myapp
(Of course, you can make page fancier, add CSS, etc., etc.)
I struggled a bit with older version of Apache Tomcat (7.0.68) running on Windows Server 2012, but this worked for me after a little bit of experimenting:
Create app folder with your static files (HTML, JS, CSS, assets, etc.).
Inside the folder create META-INF folder and add empty MANIFEST.MF.
Optionally zip the app folder and change the extension to .war.
Upload your app to Tomcat's webapps folder, either as a .war or just folder with your files.
Turned out, that META-INF with empty MANIFEST.MF file is enough for Tomcat to serve the app. No need to add WEB-INF or anything else (at least for my version of Tomcat).
Folder structure:
MyApp (folder)
|--index.html
|--app.js
|--app.css
|--assets (folder)
|--logo.png
|--...
|--META-INF (folder)
|--MANIFEST.MF (empty file)
