[news.eclipse.technology.phoenix] Re: Unable to get WTP/PHPEclipse/XAMPP

[Beth Tibbitts <tibbitts@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I start xampp from the button in the toolbar and it says
### APACHE + MYSQL IS STARTING NOW ###

http://localhost in Firefox says "Access forbidden!"

My apache (part of xampp) httpd.conf includes
DocumentRoot "c:/ews/phoenixPTP/ptp"
That is, indeed, my workspace and project folder location.

I don't have an index.php (not ready to check it in yet)
but am working with index2.php -- could that be it?
http://localhost/index2.php  also gives "access forbidden"
(I added an index.php and this didn't help either)

>> 2. Does your xampp user have full access to that directory?
Full access? I'm the only user on this machine and i have full Admin rights.

> What script is loaded when you start the phpeclipse browser?
If I close the PHP Browser view and reopen it, nothing is loaded.
Is that what you are asking?

>Maybe it's mysql that gives you the error. What user are you using to 
>access the db?
Just me, the only user.

PHPBrowser correctly shows e.g. http://eclipse.org

All the "external tools" preferences look like they point to the
files in my installation.

HEY, the preferences (PHPeclipse>Project Defaults) included a 
DocumentRoot setting that differed from httpd.conf!
I fixed it and restarted xampp and still get access forbidden.
Restarted eclipse, restarted xampp and still get it.

Also, I don't have the include files from Denis' on the eclipse.org 
phoenix website. do i need them?
The first line of php file includes

  require_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . 
"/eclipse.org-common/system/app.class.php"); 
require_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . 
"/eclipse.org-common/system/nav.class.php"); 
require_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . 
"/eclipse.org-common/system/menu.class.php"); 	$App 	= new App();	$Nav	= 
new Nav();	$Menu 	= new Menu();		include($App->getProjectCommon());    # 
All on the same line to unclutter the user's desktop'

Thanks for any help!
