Good morning, in this post I am going to explain how to create a symbolic link under HTDOCS and be able to run our applications from our development environment, without having to constantly access HTDOCS to run it.
The first thing we need to have installed is the XAMPP server (free, open-source, and supports MySQL databases and languages such as PHP, JAVA, among others).
To run applications on the server, it has to be under it, that means to run our web CRUD_devcodelight (example), we do the following:
In my case, the Eclipse projects are in the following route C:\Users\laura\eclipse-ws-php\CRUD_devcodelight
Inside Eclipse and our project, to run it, we right-click on “index.php” > “Run as” > “3 PHP Web Application”. It is necessary to have the Apache and MySQL services of XAMPP active.
