Intellij: Setting Remote host Mappings: Local path is out of project

Question

I am using Intellij IDea ultimate 15.

I want to compile/test/deploy on a remote host. So this is what I did: 1. File -> New -> Project -> Empty Project -> Specify project name/location

2. Preferences -> Deployment -> add host(Test SFTP connection successfully)
3. Modify mappings: set the Local path to the same as project location

Then it complains:

Local Path '[my local path]' is out of project

The path is the project location that I set to, it exists, and I have the right permission. So don't know why it complains.

Thanks for your time!

Answer 1

I have just now done hit this problem myself, and came up with a solution. The problem is that in an empty project, if you open the project tree, you will see that there are no directories in your project.

If you open a "static web page" project, for example, you will notice that the directory is now a part of your project.

try doing the same thing, but in a "static web" project and the error will not occur any more

Answer 2

Configure your Projectdeployments and save this. Pay attention to correct paths! Then open "Directories" in the "Settings". Mark the baseline of your project as "Resource root" (required) and the other folders (as example - adjust to the project) as Sources. Apply and the problem is solved.

Answer 3

Check if the folder you want to exclude is not excluded from the project under Settings->Directories
