Howdy,
I'm going to pull the infamous "I've never been a part of this
list and I only come join the community once I have a problem" bit. In
retrospect, I'm an idiot for not having joined sooner.
I apologize for the blatant intrusion but I'm sure at least some of you
have been in this position before.
I happen to be developing www.foobar.com, for example. It's a mod_perl
site. I'd like to be able to use beta.foobar.com for code that I
am currently testing, as in, beta, of course. www.foobar.com and
beta.foobar.com are individual VirtualHosts.
Maybe I've just been awake too many hours to make sense, and hopefully
it's all a figment of my imagination, but I could swear that when I
update a script in the beta document root, it ends up being sucked into
the www document root, or vice versa.
I suppose this makes sense if the apache children have them preloaded, but
it really puts a damper on the "I can update this without fear of breaking
anything live!". Does this exist? Am I still sane?
I accept RTFM, of course. I've been on enough lists to know how
frustrating it is when some moron (like myself :) comes out of nowhere and
asks a question that has been asked and answered 1000x over before.
Any help is of course appreciated!
