Hi,
I am a Linux noob but fairly accomplished doing web development in Windows. I am having an issue setting up my web development environment in a manner I am used to.
I use Eclipse for my coldfusion development IDE. In windows I specified the folder which could be used as the default web directory so i could just type http://localhost and the default page would display. My development would be done on the files in that folder. Only when the pages were tested in the localhost environment would I move them to the remote host for my page.
I am not allowed to edit the files from the /var/www folder in Eclipse. I understand that if I logged in as root I would be able to do this, but obviously I don't want to do that. Is there a way to set the permissions on that /var/www folder to allow the Eclipse IDE to make changes to those files but still keep the access restrictions from outside that IDE.
Thanks,
Michael
