Eclipse and PHP

[Staach]

I just got PHP working on Eclipse. Only thing I needed to change was the workspace to /var/www/ so that apache could interpret php. That gave me this crash:

JVM terminated. Exit code=1
/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/bin/java
-Djava.library.path=/usr/lib/jni
-Dgnu.gcj.precompiled.db.path=/var/lib/gcj-4.1/classmap.db
-Dgnu.gcj.runtime.VMClassLoader.library_control=nev er
-Dosgi.locking=none
-jar /usr/lib/eclipse/startup.jar
-os linux
-ws gtk
-arch x86
-launcher /usr/lib/eclipse/eclipse
-name Eclipse
-showsplash 600
-exitdata 127801c
-install /usr/lib/eclipse
-vm /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/bin/java
-vmargs
-Djava.library.path=/usr/lib/jni
-Dgnu.gcj.precompiled.db.path=/var/lib/gcj-4.1/classmap.db
-Dgnu.gcj.runtime.VMClassLoader.library_control=nev er
-Dosgi.locking=none
-jar /usr/lib/eclipse/startup.jar

Every time I try to open a php file from Eclipse it gives me that crash. Can some one help out of this mess?

I've got the same problem, can anyone help? I've got the Sun version of Java installed, and eclipse came from the repositories (I think)

I think your problem may lie in the fact that /var/www isn't owned by you. Changing the ownership of /var/www might 'solve' your problem but will have severe implications on security.

mkdir /var/www/workspace
chown user:user /var/www/workspace
ln -s /var/www/workspace /home/user/workspace
(of course replace 'user' with your username)

Now configure Eclipse to use /home/user/workspace as the workspace and access your work from http://localhost/workspace/


Another way is creating Apache virtual hosts for every project you create in the workspace.

ServerName myproject.local
DocumentRoot /home/user/workspace/myproject
...
in /etc/apache2/sites-available/myproject
