Well, I'm back after a very long detour on other projects. Smile

Just starting to re-learn what I forgot about EWB and it was a pleasant suprise to get my old project working again with almost no work!  Anyway, my target environment is LAMP and I will deliver the JSON via PHP, that parts working on the remote test site.  So, what are my options under Win XP?  Anyone using XAMPP for local testing?

XAMPP will work as good as anything.  I normally just use straight-up Apache
with the latest PHP distribution for Windows.

Thanks for the confirmation that it works.  Actually I just tried it myself and it worked, first shot.  Got my MySQL setup locally and the PHP accesses the data just fine.  Yipee!

One thing tho, and I'm not sure if this is an Apache or EWB thing.  I can't get it to work out of anything but the root directory, htdocs.  If I add a subdir to the path, the port number gets added in where it doesn't belong.  Is there a way to setup a virtual domain under apache?  Probably shouldn't ask that here. Smile

By the way, love that compile-deploy-execute workflow, one button testing!

This is a bug in the current EWB build - it doesn't handle subdirectories
well when they are specified in the URL for the external web server.  This
will be fixed in the next build.

Thanks. Smile

Erik,

Under Apache you can create virtual hosts, see Apache documentation.
Your web application can reside in whatever folder you want.

I am using EWB with Apache, PHP (actually Zend Framework) and  Firebird SQL Server under Windows,
and I can say that things work perfectly.

Sorry for my poor English,

Ivan,

Thanks for the info, I sort of figured that there must be a way to do that.  Right now, I have one EWB project underway, so not an immediate problem, but I expect more. Smile
