In the in-place server configuration, the server is running on your computer, your project is under its document root (for example, in the /htdocs folder), and you do your development directly on the server.

The document root of an in-place server is the parent of the project root, either immediate or not. The document root is the server root or website root directory. Usually, it is the publicly-accessible base folder for a website.

To configure access to the server in this set-up, you only need to specify the URL address of the server document root, appoint the project root folder, and specify the URL address to access it.
