I've recently installed Rapid PHP 9.41, and I think I've got the mappings for previewing right, but, there is a problem that I'm not able to solve.
I use WAMP server (Apache 2.2.11, PHP 5.2.8 & MySQL 5.0.51a) on WinXP SP3, and have configured a few virtual hosts - correctly specified in Apache (httpd-vhosts.conf) and Windows hosts file (standard port 80), each have it's own dir, for example E:/wamp/www/test1/, and each has its own Joomla 1.5.9 installation - I can open each virtual hosts home page in browser (IE & Firefox) via for example http://localhost/test1/.
I thought there shouldn't be a problem in mappings inside Rapid PHP, but... - I obviously got the mappings right but still can't preview the page.
Under mappings I've put: "E:\wamp\www\" and "http://localhost/". I've also disabled the "use built-in web server" under script preview. But all I get is a "Restricted access" or "Restricted index access" message.
If I, for example try to open E:/wamp/www/test1/templates/template1/index.php which is the actual file that I want to edit (Joomla renders its homepage based on the selected template, so the index.php in the virtual hosts home dir (www/test1/) gets its data from the index.php inside the ...www/test1/templates/template1/ ), I just get the "Restricted access" message. On the other hand, if I open http://localhost/test1/index.php, (the same page, but rendered through browser) RapidPHP opens the page (it appears to be stored in the IE %temp dir) and I can normally preview it. Since I have a few templates, if I edit php files this way, I'm able to edit & preview just the index.php inside the active template, but, If I want to edit the index.php from the template that is not active at this point, it can be opened opened only via local disk adress, and there goes the preview - actually the lack of it - again...
I guess that this "restricted access" message is Joomla security related setting, most probably a chmod issue - is there a simple way to bypass it while working on the localhost inside RapidPHP, without the need to change the chmod settings for the files inside Joomla?
Thank's

Re: PHP mapping with Wamp & Joomla
Let me clarify this:
1) You have mapped http://localhost/ to E:\wamp\www\ ... this seems to be correct
2) When you open E:\wamp\www\test1\index.php for editing, it should work, you should see http://localhost/test1/index.php are you saying this is not happening?
You must understand also that if you open E:/wamp/www/test1/templates/template1/index.php in editor, you can not expect Rapid PHP to understand that http://localhost/test1/index.php has to be opened for preview, Rapid PHP will of course try to open http://localhost/test1/templates/template1/index.php Rapid PHP is not a human being and can not understand that previewing E:/wamp/www/test1/templates/template1/index.php should result in opening http://localhost/test1/index.php
If I am not getting this, please clarify. It is late
