If you still want to be able to do your development work from anywhere, you might consider creating a dev environment on your prod server. I have done this and it works well for me. I copied all my website files to another folder at dev.websiteurl.com. (You can hide it from search engines and curious surfers using htaccess.) Then I made a copy of my database and changed the configuration file at the dev site to point to my new dev database.
I use an rsync script to push my changes to the prod site when they're ready. I just exclude my config file and the image folders in my photo gallery. I use vi to make my edits over ssh, but you could use some of the remote tools suggeted by others. Good luck! - Craig On 4/24/07, Thomas Haws <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I need to get more serious about my PHP (LAMP) development. I have been developing remotely for my web sites (including the Care For Life charity) via the CPanel web editor using the Mozex Firefox extension to send textarea to my local Windows editor. The debug/test cycle is agonizing and dangerous. I think I probably inadvertently closed a browser tab the other day and lost plenty of effort. So, I wonder if this group has wisdom regarding the direction for me to go? Here are some possibilities I have considered: 1. Use vi in the Linux shell. Do I have to? My dad is pushing me that way, but he says it takes months to learn vi right. 2. Install a local development environment. I don't know what this would involve, but I like to be able to access my development environment from anywhere. 3. Some other (???) linux shell editor or environment. Thanks beforehand for your help. -- Tom Haws 480-201-5476 Have a beautiful day. _______________________________________________ Ldsoss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ldsoss.org/mailman/listinfo/ldsoss
