To run PHP projects, you need a PHP web stack, which consists of the PHP engine, MySQL database server, Apache web server, and XDebug extension. Correctly configuring the web stack, even in an AMP package, can be problematic.

This tutorial describes an alternative to installing and configuring your own PHP web stack. Instead, you download a server-only OpenSolaris image with a pre-configured PHP web stack. This image runs in a Sun VirtualBox virtual machine. Use NetBeans IDE's FTP support to deploy your PHP applications to the OpenSolaris web stack on the virtual machine. You can then develop PHP applications in the operating system of your choice. Use NetBeans running in your host OS to access the preconfigured Apache server, XDebug debugger, and MySQL database server in the OpenSolaris web stack.
