I store my files in workspace directory and set my document root to workspace, but i have a problem running my files and cant access the root.

Can someone please help on a better way to configure eclipse and apache.

Welcome tsheposki!

1. What sort of error do you get when you try to display them?

2. In your workspace you can have several projects, i. e. in separate folders and connect to them like: http://localhost/pro1, http://localhost/pro2,...

3. You can configure a virtual host for each project, too. Then you can access them with a name you define. That's more flexible.

But we don't know what you are doing with eclipse yet. PHP, Java,...? In most cases it is better to keep as many of the program files outside of the document root as possible because there they are within reach of the web user.

The error is no files will be published to the server :http://localhost/www/tst.php.

It does not allow me to create and modify files insite the root file & tells me access denied, please help on how should i set the files to be published locally through the local root.

How to setup vitual webhost for an eclipse workspace?

I wonder where you placed the document root.

You can
sudo chmod 0777 /dir

Then anybody can read and write in there
