Answer 1

To set up a local web server in Aptana Studio, follow these steps:

1. Install a local web server (e.g., XAMPP, WAMP, or MAMP) and start its services.

2. In Aptana Studio, create a new Web Project by selecting File > New > Web Project.

3. Configure the project’s properties: right-click on the project folder, select Properties > Run/Debug Settings > New Launch Configuration.

4. Set the Base URL to your local web server’s address (e.g., http://localhost/) and append the project’s relative path.

5. Save the configuration and close the dialog.

6. To test/debug, click the green “Run” button or press F11.
