No you do not need to. Just create the workspace where suggested and then create projects that point to your apache directory.

But do not place the whole workspace in there!

that's a good idea

so i tried that, and under "New PHP Project" i selected "Create project at existing location (from existing source)" (which i think is what you were referring to), and got the error:

Could not write file: C:\Program Files (x86)\Zend\Apache2\htdocs\.project.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Zend\Apache2\htdocs\.project (Access is denied)

how can i get rid of that?

Hey Garrett

The Problem is, that your Server was installed at
"C:\Program Files (x86)".

This directory is a system directory and mostly restricted for other users.

Users like "System", "Trusted Installer" and "Administrator" have access
to this directory but eclipse is running as a user like you "Garrett"
(or whatever you have named your user account on your system).

That means, that the eclipse prozess and his owner have no normal access
to this folder.

Try to install a test zend server to the root directory of some harddrive.

Or try to start your eclipse as administrator, right click on
eclipse.exe -> start as Administrator (or somthing like that, cant see
it here, running a german Windows7).

Hope that helps a li'l bit :)
