Stupidoo!!!

Configure the permissions to 755 for folder and 644 for file should do.

There must be reason for Aptana to use MS950 as default character encoding instead of UTF-8, but I don’t know. I was having problem opening my PHP files after a fresh installation of Aptana 2.0. Took care of it like this:

Aptana_Encoding_MS950

I use Ubuntu Linux and I liked Aptana but they dropped PHP support so I am switching to Eclipse (sorry, Netbeans looks ugly).

After installing Eclipse I need to install PDT but was having problem with the instruction on http://wiki.eclipse.org/PDT/Installation (Eclipse 3.5 / Galileo / PDT 2.2.) … I didn’t want to download the zip file so I was doing it from the update site. I had to start Eclipse and:

1. go to Windows–> Preference–> Install Updates–> Available Software Sites to add DLTK and PDT sites. Then
2. go to Help –> Install New Software and pull down from the Work with menu as (not clearly) instructed to install PDT 2.2.

Oddly, it didn’t work for me. I then observed that on the Available Software Site instruction (http://wiki.eclipse.org/PDT/Installation#From_Update_Site) there is this Galileo site and The Eclipse Project something site, whereas mine had nothing but the DLTK and PDT sites I added. No wonder it didn’t work with the PDT installation flow. So I found and added this Galileo link (http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo) from a nice blog by a nice galileo guy and add it to the Available Software Sites and Kaboom! I got it!! This should be installed automatically, but, hey!

Well, I work hard, so you don’t have to.

==========================================

…and later on I didn’t want to work so hard, so I switch back to Aptana, which looks more like a real piece of software…don’t mind me, I am a kindergarten student in programming.
