In most MVC RAD Web Frameworks such as TurboGears, Django, RoR, CakePHP, and SymfonyPHp you are required to set-up project folder initially in a WWW folder of deployed server initialize settings and etc. However, most IDEs require you to have the project folder in a workspace place.
One option is to have the IDE copy project files from the WWW directory as an import from file system. Another option is to set up a Virtual Host alias for your developer server and have those project folders in a sub directory of home called mysites.
I guess its just a matter of choice since it snot a deployed server but a developer test server but I prefer to have a mysites and set up Virtual Host aliases rather than muck up the WWW folder.
