We normally work on windows with netbeans and we have an ubuntu box with apache as a dev environment.
Instead of have to different directories one for UAT (dev environment where the clients can see what we are doing) and my local server for debugging what we do is to have one single directory that we use locally with netbeans

- Share your windows directory
- Share the directory with something similar to your ubuntu folder like www
- Mount the shared windows directory to yor apache web directory
-
mount -t cifs //your-windows-ip/www -o username=win-user,password=win-password,noperm /var/www
- Create the config file for apache redirect the url to the directory
- In your linux go to the etc/apache2/sites-available directory and duplicate any of the configuration files or create a new file.
For example if you want to implement the domain call www.mydomain.loc you will need to create a file call www.mydomain.loc with the folowing content:
<VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot "/var/www/mydomain" ServerName mydomain.loc ServerAlias www.mydomain.loc <Directory "/var/www/mydomain"> allow from all Options +Indexes </Directory> </VirtualHost>
- Create the apache symbolic link
- You will need apache to anable the site (essentially tell apache to create a symbolic link in sites-enabled) you need to be on etc/apache2/sites-available:
a2ensite www.mydomain.loc
- Check the config file was ok
-
/etc/init.d/apache2 reload
Reloading apche will tell you what it is wrong
- Add the new domain to your windows environment
- Open the windows hosts file with a text editor located at C:WindowsSystem32driversetchosts
Add your apache server ip with your domain in a new line:
1.1.1.1 www.mydomain.loc mydomain.loc
After you save the hosts file clean all the dns cache from your browsers in chrome you can type the following at the address bar:
chrome://net-internals/#dns
from the windows console you can do:
ipconfig /flushdns
Chrome play tricks some time for example the universal # comment some times dosn’t work and you will need ## or delete the line you don’t need
Now you can set up 2 different projects on netbeans one locally and other remote pointing to the same folder
Nice debugging….
