How configuration local external server

Hi there,

Settings | Deployment:

1. Create and configure your entry there (both Connection and Mappings tabs)
2. Make sure that you maked it as Default for this project

This is where the URL will be taken from when using "View | Open in browser" or similar commands.

P.S.
When creating Run/Debug configuration (Run | Edit Configurations...) you most likely will need to enter full URL anyway.

If create local server on this picture how to fill in

Most likely you have choosen the Run configuration of wrong type -- I have no idea what type it is (it looks like JavaScript Unit tests or something -- at very least I have no such layout on my setup).

You need to be more specific, show more details.

As I understand you want to open JavaScript file in browser. If so -- then you need create Run/Debug configuration of "JavaScript Debug / Remote", where you can enter actual URL.

I told according to your tips, I set the but have this problem

Hi there,

You still doing somethig wrong (something is missing or misconfigured). Please tell exactly what you have done/what you are doing (how and what you have configured; what commands you executing etc) and provide screenshots if possible (would really help here - small screencast would be even better).

What is your MSN or QQ? I am Chinese, so don't conference exchanges with you in English

Don't know I loacl set right trouble see

1) Well, I do not speak Chinese.

2) I'm confused on what you are doing here:

• What deployment entry you have selected here? It is not "In place" -- looks like it's (S)FTP(S) or Local/Mounted folder.
• You do not need multiple mappings -- single mapping should do the job fine (at least do it this way until you make it work)
• I recommend to make "Web path" to be just "/" -- right now I think end URL will be completely wrong (as I'm unsure what exactly you are trying to achieve with it)

If you do that, then file D:\AMPServ5.2.6\AMPServ5.2.6\www\htdocs\javascript\js\hello.js should be opened as http://127.0.0.1/hello.js (that's considering that your Apache is configured properly).

I set the Local / Mounted folder
How do local mapping

I'm getting more and more confused.

1. What is the project root folder (full path on file system)?
2. What file you are trying to open in browser (full path on file system)?
3. What is the website root in Apache? What file (full path on file system) will be opened if you type http://127.0.0.1/index.html in browser ?

I host a local Apache server I opened locally should be 127.0.0.1/index.html
I opened the file :/ / / C :/ Users/lwj/AppData/Local/Temp/127.0.0.1/javascript/js (The Road King is the disk path to)
I configuration when
Project root 'D: \ APMServ5.2.6 \ APMServ5.2.6 \ APMServ5.2.6 \ www \ htdocs \ javascript \ js' is not mapped.
        Please review your deployment settings.

I'll give it one more attempt before I give up -- I'm totally confused here (possibly the language barier plays a big role here).

Can you please answer these questions specifically:

1. What is the project root folder for your project  (full path on file system)?
2. What file you are trying to open in browser (full path on file system)?
3. What is the website root in Apache? What file (full path on file system) should be (what you expect) opened if you type http://127.0.0.1/index.html in browser ?

For example:

1. My project is located at E:\Projects\web\mytest.com
2. I'm trying to open E:\Projects\web\mytest.com\javascript\test.js
3. Website Root is E:\Projects\web\mytest.com, so if I type http://127.0.0.1/javascript/test.js in browser it will display this file E:\Projects\web\mytest.com\javascript\test.js

For such configuration I create "In place" deployment entry (Settings | Deployment) with these paths:

• Connection tab:
  • Web server URL: http://127.0.0.1
• Mappings tab
  • Local path: E:\Projects\web\mytest.com
  • Web path on server: /

Then I create this Run/Debug Configuration (Run | Edit Configuration)

• Type: JavaScript Debug | Remote
• URL to open: http://127.0.0.1/javascript/test.js

My project is located at D: \ APMServ5.2.6 \ APMServ5.2.6 \ APMServ5.2.6 \ www \ htdocs \ javascript \ js
I'm trying to open: \ APMServ5.2.6 \ APMServ5.2.6 \ APMServ5.2.6 \ www \ htdocs \ javascript \ js \ index.html
Website Root is D: \ APMServ5.2.6 \ APMServ5.2.6 \ APMServ5.2.6 \ www \ htdocs

How do I create it? Give me a illustration
I have created can be used not

Good, now we have some real details to work with.

Website Root D:\APMServ5.2.6\APMServ5.2.6\APMServ5.2.6\www\htdocs
Project Root: D:\APMServ5.2.6\APMServ5.2.6\APMServ5.2.6\www\htdocs\javascript\js

For such setup you need to create Deployment entry of "In Place" type:


Do not forget to mark it as Default for this project.


Now -- make sure that you have setup your available browsers in IDE: Settings | Browsers  (you may need to restart your WebStorm if you have just configured them -- sometimes it seems to be slow reacting to the changes). For example: I have Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera and Chrome configured; Default browser in system is Firefox.

When done, you can use "View | Open in Browser" (will open in default browser) or "View | Web Preview..." (you can choose the browser). The last command available via that menu or via automatically appearing semi-transparent popup with browser icons.

The result of any of those commands 9if I choose firefox) will be:


As you can see it works perfectly for me.

Thank you for your patience as I answer
