Error in php when executing with netbeans
 

am using FEDORA 20.
\MYSQL(MARIADB-SERVER),PHP,APACHE ALL INSTALLED AND WORKING. I have just successfully tested a project in php. my localhost is-> ¨/var/www/html/¨.

Then I created a new PHP project in ¨/home/NetBeansProjects/PhpProject1¨, using netbeans but it doesńt run.

When I try to run the project, i get The requested URL /PhpProject1/index.php was not found on this server on "http://localhost/PhpProject1/index.php"

since /var/www/html is not writable without root privilage, how can i change my localhost to netbeans default directory( /home/NetBeansProjects/ )?

OR WITHOUT CHANGE TO NETBEANS DIRECTORY ANY OTHER SOLUTION?

If there is nothing else in the /var/www/html you can remove it and replace it with a symlink to your project directory
(as root)
rm -r /var/www/html
ln -s /home/NetBeansProjects /var/www/html

Or edit your webserver's config.
If that is an apache2 then it might be /etc/apache2/httpd.conf. Search and replace the directories in the tag
DocumentRoot and the <Directory> tag below that. Then restart the server.

Netbeans probably isn't set up to use the correct path. Verify your project's settings. You can make a local version of your site if you want to.

now when i did following command i got error,
service httpd start

Redirecting to /bin/systemctl start httpd.service
Job for httpd.service failed. See 'systemctl status httpd.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.

My guess is that apache does not allow the DocumentRoot to be a symlink. But I am guessing only. If this was the case you could add a +FollowSymLinks to the <Directory>-tag in the conf file. (the directory tag regarding the docroot directory)

If you type
/usr/sbin/apache2ctl configtest
it may give you out what's wrong. Or consult the error logs, probably under /var/log/apache2/error.log

i got following error!

bash: /usr/bin/apache2ctl: No such file or directory

on my box it is in
/usr/sbin
you search in /usr/bin

I tried sbin also but same error..am u ing fedora 20

what does the error log say?

/usr/sbin/apache2ctl configtest
bash: /usr/sbin/apache2ctl: No such file or directory

[root@localhost mr]# /var/log/apache2/error.log
bash: /var/log/apache2/error.log: No such file or directory

[root@localhost mr]# cat /var/log/apache2/error.log
cat: /var/log/apache2/error.log: No such file or directory


[root@localhost mr]# systemctl status httpd.service
