Welcome to another exciting episode. This time you will learn:

• how to send your files to remote development server from within Eclipse using Target Management and secure FTP (sftp).
• make files sent via sftp belong to certain user group and have write permissions for this group (umask).

This time I will show you how to install Apache web server with SSL. In the video you will also see how to access your Subversion repository, created and configured in previous episode, via SSL and SSH from Eclipse.

Whole process of configuring SSL certificates is automated using the Bash script I have prepared especially for this episode. You can download it here easycaandreq.sh

If you find this script or video useful please leave a comment.

Have fun.

Eclipse PDT Episode #1.5 from ralphz on Vimeo.

This is the first of the series of video tutorials I’m planning to release about Eclipse PDT. This is the first time I’m doing something like this so please be understanding

Project’s homepage describes it as:

This project encompasses all development components necessary to develop PHP and facilitate extensibility. It leverages the existing Web Tools Project in providing developers with PHP capabilities.

Project Principles:

• Intuitive and easy to learn
• Seamless integration with the Web Tools project
• Adherence to Eclipse standards
• Extensibility
• Continuous support of PHP developments

Personally I use it every day and I think it’s the best development IDE for PHP. In this video tutorial I will show you how to install Eclipse PDT 1.0.2. On Ubuntu 7.10. I’m not sure if all the commands will be clearly visible on the video so here they are in order of appearance:

• Install Java:

$sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin sun-java6-jre

• Set Sun’s Java Virtual Machine (JVM) as default:

$sudo update-alternatives --config java

• This file defines the default system JVM search order:

$vim /etc/jvm

• Check default java:

$java -version

This video was made using open source tools from A to Z on Ubuntu 7.10 Gusty Gibbon.
