Adrian, Am running in standalone. Currently on 4.1.29 but production will be 5.0.19.
But will keep it in mind. If my app goes public I may need to set up Apache to do virtual hosting. Kumar, I had considered that, but am running on MySQL and wanted to keep the database as simple as possible(for my own sanity). Might change my mind. OK, I just did a little reading and this sounds like an idea I can work with. So go ahead and send me both if you don't mind. Just in case. I am on Linux. Thanks for the feed back. Additional comments welcome.
