Using Eclipse for Joomla development without XAMPP

[ChuckL]

I have set up Eclipse following Mark's great tutorial (Setting up your
workstation for Joomla! development) and have everything working with
one exception, I cannot "Run As | PHP Web Page". I get a HTTP 403
Error. I have Apache 2..2.14, PHP 5.2.12, and MySQL 5.0.51a. I have
been using Dreamweaver but would really like to switch to Eclipse for
any number of reasons.

I did not use XAMPP (tried it and found it to be more trouble than it
was worth). I have installed and configured Apache on multiple systems
running Linux and Windows and have successfully developed over a dozen
Joomla! websites using my current configuration. My normal practice
(on Windows) is to create a folder for each site under a common "web"
directory, add an entry into the "host" file for "web.mysite.com", and
add an entry into the httpd-vhost.conf file, such as:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName web.mysite.com
DocumentRoot "C:/web/mysite.com/site"
ErrorLog logs/web.mysite.com.error.log
CustomLog logs/web.mysite.com.access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

This has served me very well until I try to use Eclipse. I really do
not wish to install XAMPP since I have a standard configuration that
works across OS platforms and can't see reinventing the wheel.

Any ideas on what I might do to get this working?

You just have to configure Eclipse to run from your host (preferences > PHP > PHP Servers)  - it's set to locahost by default.

It's easiest if you set your sites as subdirectories in one folder -  mysite.com/project1 mysite.com/project2 etc..
