Rename projects

Last modified: 04 November 2024

In most cases, the name of a PhpStorm project is the same as the name of its root folder, so the easiest way to change the name of a project is just rename its root folder.

In this case, however, you have to re-configure access to the server so that the server root is mapped to the new project root name. To avoid these additional steps, you can change the name of the project but have its root folder name preserved. PhpStorm in this case will only modify the project metadata.
