Share Project settings Follow
Hi
I really like phpstorm but how can I share project deployment, datasource and debug settings.
I know .idea and did copy some files like deployment.xml etc to my other computer
but that won't work.
The reason is I have two identical Mac setups one iMac and one Macbook Pro.
Same folder structur same zend server infrastructure and I really hate it to
setup the project twice. I have a lot of debug settings and really large deployment
settings
Any solution on that ??
Best regards

Hi there,
I believe they are stored in workspace.xml which saves user/machine specific settings and therefore is not meant to be shared (especially via VCS).
But if you have the same folder structure on both Macs (i.e. project and other project-related tools/files are located at the same paths) .. then you can easily copy it between your computers (I do: between work and home PC; usernames are different .. but the rest is basically identical in this regard -- I copy whole project including .idea subfolder). If some paths are actually different, then you can use Path Variables functionality to help here.
If you have created datasource on a project level, then just copy corresponding files. Otherwise (IDE-wide level) they are stored together with IDE-wide settings: Directories used by the IDE to store settings, caches, plugins and logs
That's a bit different.
On project level you only have project specific settings (like path mappings etc) .. but the actual Deployment login details is considered IDE-wide setting (so you can share the same host/login details between multiple projects) and stored separately.
You will have to copy/sync those settings between 2 Macs manually (e.g. via "File | Export/Import Settings").
The good news: there is no need to really do that: just create the same deployment entry on 2nd computer and IDE should be able to match them by deployment name (in previous (or previous-1) version it was really hard to do that because IDE used unique IDs to match them). To make life easier: create it while project is closed (you can access settings from Welcome screen) otherwise IDE may forget settings as it sees no matching entry on local computer.
Hi Andriy
tx for your answer.
I'll try and see what will happen.
