Item	Description
Web path for project root	In this field, specify the URL path that shall be added to the URL address (hostname and port) previously defined as Web server URL. In most cases, it's the same as the name of the project folder under the server document root, for example `my-project`, or a slash `/` pointing to the document root folder itself.
Project URL	This read-only field shows the full URL address at which the project root directory will be available. By default, the field is filled in with the name of the selected project root directory. PhpStorm dynamically constructs the full URL address by appending the value you type in the Web path for project root field (for example, `my-project`) to the previously specified Web server URL (for example, `http://localhost:80`). In the provided example, the resulting Project URL is `http://localhost:80/my-project`.
