Zend Studio help needed.

misheck

I have just installed Zend studio ecliplse 6.1. I am having problems getting the browser function to work so I can view my projects in the main window. The computer I am using has Windows Vista, Apache and Php configured and working well. The php works ok on the small window on the right its only when you press the run button it does not show. I am getting a 404 error in the main page. I have been to the preference section and the server is configured as localhost.

Any help or suggestions?

I have used phpdesigner 2008 and I have been quite impressed with but I have feeling that Zend studio is more powerfull when it comes to php and mysql intergration because of the price. Has anyone tried both Zendstudio and phpdesigner?

I used to use Zend Studio (which is now built on Eclipse); but recently I switched to Linux at work, and haven't installed ZS yet. I've used nothing but the ViM editor.

The "run" button is for debugging, it's not for previewing the webpage. You would have to install Zend's debugging extensions into your local apache config. Of course the alternative is to just go download Zend Server and install that (it's preconfigured for debugging I believe).

I never got debugging working right with Zend Studio when I was working in Windows. So I just set up a separate development server, and set display_errors to on, and set the error level to it's highest (E_ALL | E_STRICT). No need for a debugger then.

Sorry I couldn't be much help. The only thing I could tell you is to look into Zend Server (or Zend Platform, or both). They cost money; however, you can still use the trials for debugging once the trial runs out. Or at least you could with the last version.

Any help is alright sometimes its the little info you get from others that allows you to look through other angles.

I have just had a reply from Zend Studio and its just the same as what you have said. I can only run the script as local and I will not be able to achieve what I want without paying extra or using a remote server but I will be able to get a preview of the php code.

For the price I will still have to see how its better than the other IDE.

Thanks
