Hi All, Mitch managed to put a bee in my bonnet about version control of my project files and I've spent the last 10 hours reviewing different options and have done some tests with Mercurial and TortoiseHg. What I've run into is an issue with versioning binary files. I would like to know how people are handling this. Hg, Subversion and CVS seem to provide some work arounds but they all look a little ugly and if there is a better way I would love to hear about it. Thanks, Herb

I had to really bend Media Temple in a few places to get this up. I think after doing that...I might go to Heroku's personal account instead and save some time/effort... of course, then I have to figure out how to export what little I have first. :-) On Mon, Feb 15, 2010 at 1:06 PM, Mitch Pirtle <mitch.pir...@gmail.com>wrote: > > > You can also run your own Redmine/RoR server at Heroku for free: > > * http://heroku.com/ > > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Because it makes it very very easy to add new virtual hosts...sure I CAN edit the config files, but for 50 bucks I save myself a few hours of remembering each time. I also do it a bit...'weirdly'? For mydomain.com I have the following subdomains now setup: *.site.mydomain.com *.test.mydomain.com *.dev.mydomain.com These are wildcard entrees up on my DNS provider[DNS Made Easy] - they match ANY domains under those subdomains. both site and test point to my hosting provider's ip address. all devs point to 127.0.0.1 So, now when I want to do development, I add a virtual host to my local system, somewebsite.dev.mydomain.com On my own webserver, I also add somewebsite.test.mydomain.com AND somewebsite.site.mydomain.com So now, any changes on my local system can be tested and played with there[and I can even setup a local hosts file for offline testing]. Then I push changes up to dev when I'm ready to test there, and site for the client to be able to look at. Everything is under MY control. Ready to deploy? Just joomlapack site and then restore. As for version control...shamed to admit I just haven't used it. Finally getting that in sync and am moving towards Bazaar. It seems to have all the benefits of git without the weird structure enforced on you based on assuming you are developing an operating system. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Interesting choice - did you look at Mercurial? -- Aj. ------------------------------ Message: 7 Date: Tue, 16 Feb 2010 09:03:31 -0500 From: Gary Mort <garyam...@gmail.com> To: "NYPHP SIG: Joomla" <joomla@lists.nyphp.org> Subject: Re: [joomla] Server2Go, GONE!

Bazaar just feels right. I'm still flipflopping though, there are more people using Mercurial than Bazaar and Pragmatic Pub has a book in Mercurial...so I might end up going with it instead. I just have to stop stressing and decide. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
