PhpStorm 6.0.1 Web Help

Use this dialog box to configure running PHP applications on a local built-in Web server .

Click here for the description of the options that are common for all run/debug configurations.

The dialog box consists of the following areas:

Server Configuration

In this area, configure the access to the built-in Web server.

ItemDescription
Host In this text box, type localhost, because the built-in server is located on your machine.
Port In this text box, type the port number to use. The default value is 80.
Document root In this text box, type the full path to the folder that will be considered server document root. This can be either the project root or any other folder under it. All the folders under the document root will be recursively submitted to the PHP interpreter.

The server document root folder will be accessed through HTTP at the above specified host:port. URL addresses for other pages of your applications will be composed based on this mapping.

Type the path manually or click the Browse button browseButton.png and choose the relevant folder in the dialog box, that opens.

Use router script Select this check box to have a PHP router script executed at every HTTP request start-up. The script is run for each HTTP request. If this script returns FALSE, the requested resource is returned as-is. Otherwise the script output is returned to the browser.

In the text box, specify the location of the script to run. Type the path manually or click the Browse button browseButton.png and choose the file in the dialog box, that opens.
