I don't know abut Ben but that is how we set up all of our development workstations, desktop or notebook, from the original Win2000 setups thru to our latest Vista machines. We use Apache as the web server and allocate ports to particular sites as we develop them. Apache's .conf files and home page are under SVN as well as the sites so it is a one-stop setup for everyone except the soul who set up the original. Doing it this way avoids having to tweak hosts files and things on each workstation to make a name-based virtual host work. -- Yours, Kym --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Open BlueDragon Public Mailing List http://groups.google.com/group/openbd?hl=en official site @ http://www.openbluedragon.org/ !! save a network - trim replies before posting !! -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
