I have just downloaded WebStorm 5.0 for testing with AngularJS, and I have a problem. I can't seem to figure out how to configure or add a server for my HTTP files.
I am currently using a Windows 7 PC but I am also using a Mac.
I would like to know how I configure a web server in WebStorm. It seems it might be something to do with Run Configurations, but I have 2 options under JavaScript debug which are Local / Remote and then node and other things like that.
So I am little confused, does WebStorm not come with its own internal server?
Of course I have IIS installed on my PC but not available for the Mac, I was wondering if there was a built in server that was compatible with both or if something like that existed. Using Tomcat I think is overkill as I only require client hosting - i.e. no Java.
I also hear a lot of talk about NodeJS, is it possible to host my WebStorm project locally in a NodeJS server? Unsure where to start here.
Any help would really be grateful.
UPDATE: Built-in HTTP server is available since WebStorm 6.0.
WebStorm doesn't come with any HTTP server, you need to install/configure it yourself. There is a guide for JavaScript debugging on Windows. On Mac you can use Apache or any other server.
It should be possible to use Node.js to run a simple HTTP server: Using node.js as a simple web server.
