Using Eclipse/Aptana, points to wrong location when previewing in browser - eclipse

I'm just starting out with Eclipse Luna with Aptana plugin installed.
I've just written a basic .html file, and when I run the page using the built-in web server, it opens Firefox with the following URL:
http://127.0.0.1:8020/RemoteSystemsTempFiles/opening_page.html
This is unsuccesful, with Firefox displaying the message: Unable to connect
Whereas I have the file stored elsewhere on my hard drive. how do I point it in the right direction?
Thanks.

I found you can find the html file in your file explorer and open it manually or just type in the location the file is stored at on your hard drive into the address box. This worked for me with a html file and a css that changed the color. I am not sure if there is a setting somewhere to change the path it enters into Firefox.

Group policy to make Chrome open files automatically after download

I am in the process of updating our currently existing Chrome distribution so that when a user downloads a .pdf file, the file is opened automatically.
As a first step, I was able to prevent Chrome from opening the pdf in its internal pdf viewer and could do a registry entry by using AlwaysOpenPdfExternally. This way it was downloading the file immediately and not opening it in the Chrome viewer.
I'd like to use Adobe to view the file automatically after download.
Unfortunately I was not able to find a registry entry. Nor was I able to find a GPO entry to be changed for Chrome.
I had found the following PowerShell script to be started upon logon of the user. However, testing it did not give me the result I was looking for.
The given entry extensions_to_open was not existing even after starting the script.
The current version of Chrome used is 66.255.
I would be happy for any help.
Edit: I am able to get the file to be opened automatically by inserting the given line here:
Is there any way to programatically force "Always open files of this type" for a specific file type in Chrome?
however, I am unsure of how to distribute the line of code into every PC in my network.
Edit: Chrome offers Group Policy Templates which should be importet into the active directory of your Windows Server. Once imported into your GPO, Chrome offers the setting: "Always open Pdf files externally". Once you check this feature, file should not automatically open in the internal PDF viewer.
See second edit: import the latest group policy templates into the GPO (will be stored on the active directory). After that, go into the GPO policies for "Google Chrome" and check the feature "Always open PDF files externally".

How to deploy my project to localhost?

I'm working on a website and right now I am using FileZilla to make changes to it. Every time I make a change, I have to re-upload the file to the website through FTP and then wait for it to update online. I want to just deploy my project to localhost so I can get instant results and then just upload the whole project when it's finished. How do I do this? All I have is a set of directories with the files in them.
You really need to use a web/application server such as IIS/Apache.
For PHP projects go for WampServer/XAMPP.Easy to setup and works very well.
(maybe too obvious)
If you are working only static content based on html/css/js you can just edit and view changes directly by opening the local file in your browser and refresh each time.
Furthermore for css and html you can edit your code "live", directly into browser and see changes immidiately.
Another option is to edit files with an editor that supports ftp like notepad++, you can connect via ftp, open and edit files directly from server (like php,html,css,js) because once you save the editor will automatically upload your changes.
Heres a good explanation about notepad++ and ftp plugin.
Localserver
If you work with php (and even only with html/css) the best choise is to run a local server that rappresents a real environment in which your code will run. As said by others XAMPP is a good choise for begginers because of simple installation and management.
XAMPP download
XAMPP tutorial
Once installed put your folder inside C:/xampp/htdocs/yourCodeFolder
Run the xampp control panel and start the Apache server.
Finally navigate with your browser to: http://localhost/yourCodeFolder/

Deactivate/change default favicon in iPlanet 6.0

While there are many questions here about a favicon not showing, I have one that is showing out of nowhere...
If I type in my browser http://localhost, I see the root of the web directory and no favicon.ico is there. Yet an icon shows up on the browser tab. If I type http://localhost/favicon.ico, the browser does show me the icon!
How can http://localhost/favicon.ico return something that does not exist?
I am using an iPlanet server linked to weblogic app container.
I searched for a favicon.ico in my entire web directory and weblogic domain, didn't find any (or rather: some others lying around but not the one I see).
I even searched for the string 'favicon.ico' in domain, web directory and iPlanet directory, in case it is in some configuration file, didn't find anything.
Any hint?
Edit: As pointed out by Sacha below, this is a default icon of the server. I would like to know where in the config it is located, and how to deactivate it. I found how to do that in documentation of iPlanet 7.0, but I am using iPlanet 6.0 and I can't find anything in the doc.
If there is no favicon.ico server displays a default one.It might be a xampp or wamp logo.If you want to customize put yours in your project root directory. Eg:- If your project name is saas put it in saas folder.
If going to localhost/favicon.ico shows you the icon, then it is there. I am not sure why it is not in the directory.
I was also facing the same problem in jBoss server of my jsp project in which the browser was showing by default server icon and there was no favicon.ico in my whole project directory
then i searched for the favicon on the server and it was there so i have remove that file from the server to remove any default favicon from my project.

Files on my WebDAV mapped drive output rendered files in IDEs instead of actual content

On my mac I mounted a shared drive using WebDAV by going to "Finder > Go > Connect to server".
Now, when I try to view the files using TextWranger or TextEdit I can see the PHP code that I want to edit.
However, if I try to use an IDE like NetBeans/Eclipse/TextMate and create a new project with my shared drive as the "Existing sources" folder I cannot see the PHP code.
Instead I see the HTML output of the files as if I were seeing them through a web browser. Also, if I try to view a file that isn't normally accessibility (a command line script) I see the output as if it were called from the command line.
But a weird thing is if I use TextMate to edit a single file from the shared drive I can see the php code I am trying to edit. It just doesn't work as a project.
Any suggestions or solutions on how I can use an IDE to edit files over WebDAV? And why do my IDEs display the content rendered, instead of the actual file on the file system.
I'm not a specialist at all but I seem to remember that WebDAV clients do send GET requests.
If I'm correct your server may not be able to discriminate between HTTP GET and WebDAV GET thus rendering your .php files. Why this would work that way when working with a project and another way while working with individual files is not clear, though.
Do you get rendered files when you add files to your project manually as well?

IIS7 with MVC2 cannot load static resources

my situation is:
windows7
visual studio 2010 (with mvc2)
mvc2 web application compiled with .NET 3.5
I install IIS7 with StaticModule but when I try to load a css or an image I receive a blank page. Only html is loaded.
Help me please.
Thanks
did you open the page in firebug and is the file path, check if the file exists, and if your application does not ingore the path.
if you are using areas than you need to get full path to the files or create mapping.
or provide please more info..
oh yes , other problem is path in css file to image is not corect...
should solve
