Identify Base URL

I'm trying to open a PHP file in a browser using Brackets code editor, and it's asking for the Base URL. I've tried numerous different combinations of the file structure, but can't work it out.

The file is located at Macintosh HD/Users/My Name/Documents/Exercise Files/Tutorial Name/HTML Files/03_begin.

I'm pretty sure I need to start it with http://localhost: but am confused. Any help much appreciated.

Mac OS X 10.

Solution

  • open your webserver configuration to get root directory of your server. as in case if you are using apache then the file is httpd.conf. In which DocumentRoot is your server filesystem location.

    for ex: if your server root is HD/Users/My Name/Documents/Exercise Files/ then the path in your browser is something like http://localhost:/Tutorial Name/HTML Files/03_begin
