As everything is a little bit slower through a VM I thought I would try and put my project's webroot in a directory that is shared between the client (ubuntu 14.04) and the host (Windows 8.1). The idea is so that I can use the Symfony2 framework on the Windows host using PhpStorm and access the projects thorugh localhost:8000
for example.
It seems to be working fine however I wanted to check if this is the right way to go about it (Virtualbox's shared drives appear on Ubuntu under /media
so I'm wondering if it's not such a good idea?)?:
My shared directory on Ubuntu is:
/media/<sf_share>/dbconnect_project1.php
dbconnect_project2.php
<project1>/app
/bin
/src
/vendor
/web
<project2>/app
/bin
/src
/vendor
/web
