Hi,

I am having a difficult time figuring out my setup when using a remote 3rd party WEB server.

I want to be able to view files both in my htdocs directory (in my case called www) in the workspace as well as files in a support library application directory which is below my htdocs directory. I also want to be able to publish to both these directories.

I am using PhpED 5.8, Windows 7, and a shared hosting Linux server.

My remote server directory structure is as follows:
/www
/application
/cgi-bin, /etc, /logs, and other directories

/www is where my webserver points to using mydomainname.com.
/application is a bunch of files which support the website. They are accessed either via an INCLUDE in the /www directory or via a symbolic link from somewhere in the /www directory to somewhere in the /application directory.

On my local PC, I set a project up with contains both the /www directory and the /application directory. They are both located in C:\Users\Michael\AppData\Roaming\NuSphere\PhpED\projects\project1.


Project Properties is filled out as follows:

Project Properties ->Properties -> Project
Project: C:\Users\Michael\AppData\Roaming\NuSphere\PhpED\projects\project1.ppj
Root Directory: Should this be C:\Users\Michael\AppData\Roaming\NuSphere\PhpED\projects\project1 or C:\Users\Michael\AppData\Roaming\NuSphere\PhpED\projects\project1\www?
Source control: None
Project Properties ->Properties -> Publishing
Account: ftp1
Top publishing directory: / (or should this be something else?)
Don’t publish directives: CVS;svn
Project Properties ->Properties -> Mapping
Run mode: HTTP Mode (3rd party WEB server).
Root URL: mydomainname.net
Remote root directory: /www (or should this be /?)
Project Properties ->Properties -> Files is basically blank.

Since /www and /application are both organized the same way on my remote server as well as my local my local PC, I thought it would be easy, but I can’t get it working. Can anyone give me some suggestions on how to configure?

Thank you!

If you pick 2nd way, you won't see application subtree in the project. Sometimes it's desirable. Sometimes not. In the latter case pick 1st variant.


Depends on the previous choise and should be either / or /www respectively.


Depends on where your ftp is saving the files. If its root matches the file system root (in this case /www in ftp is the same as /www in the remote filesystem), you'd select directory that corresponds to the local project root. So it depends on the 1st choise.



it would be correct for the /www. Otherwise you have to leave it empty and add an extra mapping entry that will establish a connection between remote /www directory, mydomainname.net url, and project1/www local directory.

I'd highly recommend you to setup your project using Project Settings Wizard.

Thanks dmitri,

I ended up using the Project Settings Wizard, and even got it working! To better understand the settings, I wanted to manually configure it to match the results I got by using the wizard, but could not seem to be able to do so. It should be possible, right? I think the problem might have been not leaving the Root URL blank and creating a second mapping.
