I want to debug a web service that is not deployed in <APACHE_ROOT>/htdocs. The web service and Apache are running on the same machine so I think this is considered remote debugging. However, when I try to set this up I get an error stating that the project root is not in Apache root.

The web service was deployed according to instructions from the developer and the entire project is in a separate directory, nothing is deployed to Apache.

Is there any way around the requirement that the php must be in Apache root?

thanks for any help or advice,
