This directory should be used to place project specfic documentation including but not limited to project notes, generated API/phpdoc documentation, or manual files generated or hand written. Ideally, this directory would remain in your development environment only and should not be deployed with your application to it's final production location.
The following is a sample VHOST you might want to consider for your project.
<VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot "C:/Users/matthew/Zend/workspaces/DefaultWorkspace/ECB/public" ServerName .local
SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV development
<Directory "C:/Users/matthew/Zend/workspaces/DefaultWorkspace/ECB/public"> Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All Order allow,deny Allow from all
