Glad if I could help. And I learned something myself about the 
process from David Miers.

Re: Creating a new site in BBEdit

[Miers David]

The site root can actually be anywhere. Mamps preferences under apache allow 
you to define the site root location. htdocs is just the default, but I change 
this sometimes several times a day as if you use relative to root link the 
server must be targeting the root of that particular site, not just a folder 
where you might have many sites

Re: Creating a new site in BBEdit

[Ken Lanxner]

Hi. If you are using MAMP then your sites will actually be 
stored in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/ .


Within htdocs create a folder for each site. That folder will be 
the site's root.


When configuring the Site setup in BBEdit, the "server URL" will be

localhost: .

The "path on server" will be simply the folder name in htdocs in 
which you put the site.


Browse to that folder in order to configure "Local site root" 
and  then wherever you might keep templates and includes.


You can then check "Use local preview server" and for its URL, use:

http://localhost:/

To access and work with the files in your newly created site, I 
recommend you create a Project for each site.


File > New > Project...

Name it and save it inside the root folder for that site (or 
anywhere, actually). A project window will open where you have 
the opportunity to add any and all relevant files to the left 
column for easy access. At the very bottom of that column, lower 
left, click the + button to add files and folders to the 
project.  You can add the entire root folder for the site in 
which case everything in that folder including asset subfolders 
will be available in the project file list. I prefer to add 
files and folders individually, though, excluding the ones I 
don't need. Find whatever method works best for you in that 
regard. Project files need not be specifically site files. For 
example, during development, I may add a client's Word docs with 
their notes even though I store that doc elsewhere. 
Double-clicking that Word doc in the project file list will open 
it in Word, by the way. Same goes for image and other non-BBedit files.


Hope this all helps.

Ken

If you didn't change any of your MAMP settings your new site will be at 
http://localhost:/_yourfoldername_/_yourpagename_

Creating a new site in BBEdit

[dhani]

Hi
I am VERY new to bbedit. My dreamweaver is very slow and erroneous so i'm 
trying to switch to bbedit as it is meant for the mac os x.
MY QUESTION IS THIS:

I run an external server (called MAMP) on my computer. I'm trying to create 
a new site (as in dreamweaver) where i can run my webpages(which contain 
php scripts as well) locally on my laptop using MAMP

I succeeded in creating the site(help from the manual) but i dont know how 
to access my files on this new site. I can see the site has been created 
using "setup". but i have no idea how to access these files. 

Please how can i access these files from my newly created site? I run 
BBedit version 10.1.2. 

Your help will be very very much appreciated. 

Thank You
