Visual studio code auto refresh browser with apache - apache

Is there a way to set up (extension, etc...) Visual studio code to auto-refresh browser (Firefox Dev, Chrome Dev) as soon as the file I am working on is saved? (Like Live Server extension)
I am working with local installation of Apache (Yes, I am working on WordPress :)

Using this tutorial from youtube you will install the Live Server VSCode extension for use with html files. However, you will most likely (although you haven't mentioned) be using PHP or other languages because apache supports it. For this, use this tutorial from GitHub. It installs a browser extension (compatible with chrome/chromium-based/firefox browsers) that connects to a server instance and serves the reload function to that webserver. This does NOT install a web server (in this case it shouldn't matter). If you follow the tutorial, it should be really self-explanatory.

VS Code Apache Live Server

Is it possible to make apache server on my pc /same as I working with vs code/ setup as my vs code live server?
Like the live server extension, when I save /ctrl+s/ the browser page refresh it.
The vs code live server extension is useless.
I created a website /html, css, js/ which working perfect in Live Server.
When I uploaded to the server the website is useless.
I have to start again from the beginning. More than a week work landed in the trash.
Apache, because most of the servers are apache, and I do not want to throw a week in the trsh again.
I am study html, css, js as my hobby. I am a beginner. I am not working as programer, and not this is my target. Just study for fun.

ColdFusion 2016 stopped rendering website after Mac software update

ColdFusion 2016 stopped rendering website files in browser after I updated my Mac software to latest one, Mojave 10.14.1. Instead of seeing the rendered page in the browser I can see my repository files only.
I noticed that some previous settings regarding local server and Apache were removed after update. I did restore missing settings back how they were before and even reinstalled ColdFusion 2016, but still have that problem with rendering websites on the ColdFusion platform.
After running /Applications/ColdFusion2016/cfusion/runtime/bin and sudo ./wsconfig, I the get Web Server Configuration Window with content inside
[ localhost ] Apache : /private/etc/apache2.
Is there anyone who can help to resolve this issue please?
Change the directory to
/Application/ColdFusion2016/cfusion/runtime/bin
Run
sudo ./wsconfig
The documentation does not mention sudo, but I am suggesting it to be safe.

After testing ColdFusion 2016 platform using port :8500 I found out that CF server uses Tomcat path (wrong path) instead of Apache one (for Mac virtual directory file: httpd-vhost.conf) and both of them are running at the same time.

How to run Php Pages in Netbeans

I have just successfully deployed Quercus on Glassfish 4.1. I tested in the browser
http://localhost:8080/quercus-4.0.39/ and saw this:
Congratulations! Quercus™ Open Source 4.0.39 is interpreting PHP
pages. Have fun!
Then ran Netbeans Tools > Options > PHP > Activate PHP Support
It worked. I now see this:
So I made 3 tests:
I ran a php page in an html application but instead of displaying the page it prompts a download box to open in Notepad
I created a new PHP project with below configuration:
But when I run the app with above configuration I receive this error:
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost.
So I tried with a third test with other configuration:
When I run this third test I get a HTTP Status 404 - Not Found error on GlassFish server.
What am I doing wrong? Thank you!
The problems with your tests are:
PHP needs to be interpreted by a web server. Your browser doesn't know what to do with a PHP file, so it just treats it like a file rather than a page to render. Apache is the most common and easiest server to do that with, GlassFish is unnecessary and probably not the best choice for PHP.
In this test, you are trying to visit a web server which doesn't exist. You don't have any server that listens on port 80.
Here, GlassFish is reporting that it can't find the resource you requested. Have you made sure to put your PHP project in the right directory for Quercus (like in step 4 of your documentation link) and made sure you're visiting a valid URL?
I think the best thing for you to do is move away from Quercus. The latest version of it is very old and implements an old version of PHP (version 5, whereas the latest is 5.6). Looking at the official website, the project appears to be dead, with broken links and very old documentation.
I would suggest you investigate installing a WAMP (Windows, Apache, MySQL, PHP) or LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) stack. There are lots of very easy installers for this approach which will help you get up to speed and a lot of helpful tutorials and documentation.
For those who using tomcat, below are the steps :-
Right click your project --> properties --> Run Configuration --> For Run As, select PHP Built-in Web Server
Go to Tools --> Options --> PHP tab --> in Php 5 interpreter, browse the correct location for php
Then it should works !
In my case , my php is in /usr/bin/php7.0, so I put the path in Php 5 interpreter.

How to make dojo work offline

I have a project that loads http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/dojo/1.3.2/dojo/dojo.xd.js, I want to be able use this project offline
I tried to download dojo.xd.js and link to it locally but this still doesn't work offline
In firebug, on the net tab I can see that there are a lot more .js files that load
Is there a simple way of making this work offline?
The way of integration depends on your way of using it.
I assume you have webserver running locally (without inet access)?!
At the dojo website there are several ways of dojo integration available. Just download one of them (do not use CDN) and put the file on your local web server. Then it is available through the local url (can be relative to your site).
If you wan't to build an "offline" app without a webserver then take a look at Adobe AIR and interation of the dojo toolkit with Dojo Extensions for Adobe AIR.
Another option might be the integration together with PhoneGap or Cordova to build an offline App, e.g. for an IPhone etc. with HTML/Javascript. Win8/RT Applications for the M$ AppStore does support HTML/Javascript, too (have not tested this with Dojo).
Keep in mind there are also some security restrictions (e.g. loading and execution of JavaScript) if you plan to "release" your app as simple html file (click to open in browser).

Does IntelliJ have an internal web server to serve static content of a web application?

Right now, the directory of my module is defined as an IIS virtual directory and IIS serves the files.
I was wondering whether IntelliJ has an internal web server, which can serve the files, without the need for any third party. Eclipse does.
UPDATE: built-in web server is available in the recent IntelliJ IDEA versions (starting from 13). You can find more details in the blog (yes, this feature first appeared in WebStorm).
IntelliJ IDEA has no this feature, you need to install and use any third-party web server that can serve the content from the project folders.
A built-in HTTP preview server will be part of Intellij IDEA 13 and is already available in the EAP: http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WEB-7148
"All existing actions — preview in browser (pop-up over html file or menu action or
shortcut), open in browser and create/debug html file action now open file on built-in web
server
http://localhost:63342/<project name>/<file path relative to source or content root>"
In other words, right-click on an HTML page and select "Debug" or "Open in browser", and IDEA 13+ will serve up that page via port 63342.
Here's another super simple option, install Python: http://www.python.org/getit/
Then open a shell prompt, navigate to your root web folder (e.g. public) and run python -m SimpleHTTPServer - This starts an HTTP Service on port 8000.
Further reading should you need it: http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/tech-tip-really-simple-http-server-python
I've got mine running on Windows 7 but the above article still applies.
Another option is is create a PHP project that, starting with v 5.4.0 of PHP includes a built in web server. This page explains it all ...
http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/webhelp/php-built-in-web-server.html
IntelliJ IDEA has a built-in web server that can be used to preview and debug your application. Just watch this YouTube video or follow the steps below.
Option 1
You need to add new 'JavaScript Debug' configuration:
Click Add Configuration... or Edit Configurations... in the Navigation bar
Click button in the toolbar or press Alt + Insert to create a new configuration
Select JavaScript Debug under the Templates node in the tree view of run configurations
Fill in Name, URL, Browser and click [OK] to save the configuration
Use http://localhost:63342/YOUR-PROJECT-NAME/index.html for URL
Now you can run the configuration:
Click run or debug button in the Navigation bar (or use Shift + F10 / Shift + F9 hotkeys).
Option 2
Running web page in browser without creating a configuration. Refer to the related IntelliJ IDEA Help article.
In the editor, open the HTML file. This HTML file does not necessarily have to be the one that implements the starting page of the application.
Do one of the following:
Choose View | Open in Browser on the main menu or press Alt+F2. Then select the desired browser from the pop-up menu.
Hover your mouse pointer over the code to show the browser icons bar: . Click the icon that indicates the desired browser.
Result
Google Chrome browser with a demo web page served by the Intelij IDEA's built-in webserver:
One simple way is to create a NodeJS / Express project in IntelliJ that is your web server. You can then use it to serve your static web pages and any other web content. The NodeJS web server is very small and runs fast - noticeably faster than IIS and Apache. Best of all you can just hit the Run button in IntelliJ or WebStorm to start it up.
By default, a NodeJS / Express project includes a public/ directory that you can use to contain your static pages that you can then view from http://localhost:3000/
This explains the steps required to enable NodeJS in IntelliJ and includes links to other Node resources:
http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/webhelp/node-js.html
If you feel the need, you can reconfigure your NodeJS server using server side Javscript code. You can add SSL support or almost any other server side features you care to dream up. Just add NodeJS modules using the npm (Node Package Manager) command line tool included with the install. NPM Registry https://npmjs.org/ indexes all the available modules.
You can configure IntelliJ to use a lot of different application containers, but each of them must be downloaded and installed separately. I currently have mine configured to serve via jetty, like eclipse, and also tomcat, tc-server, jboss, and node.js. It's pretty easy to set up.
