Dev Server?
Permalink
Hi all,
I have my site up and runninghttp://www.touch-akl.com and thats fine.
What I was hoping to do was be able to let clients check out their web own development.
What I have done is put a new folder called 'broadway' (client) in my root (httpdocs) along with all my sites concrete folders.
Inside this folder (broadway) there is another installation of concrete with a clients site ready to go.
Its still in development. What Im hoping is thathttp://www.touch-akl.com/broadway will take me to the site.
But its not.
Is it possible to do this kind of thing for development purposes.
Any ideas greatly appreciated.

if you have pretty urls up and working, concrete5 is looking at that and thinking it should be a page. You'll have an easier time if your dev server is in another virtual space and just mapping subdomains to it.
so how do I do that?
The access I have (been assigned by the hosts)is httpdocs/
Thats where Ive been told to put my files and things. So I installed concrete there, and its great for my site.
Will I need to pay for a whole separate dev server?
I don’t have pretty urls on actually. I wasnt sure I needed them and Ive read a few buggy posts about them. Might try one day.

well pretty urls work fine if you put the .htaccess file where its supposed to be..
regarding your server setup -im the wrong guy to ask, there's a lot of ways to cut up a monkey.
uhh you could move your concrete5 install down a directory to /mysite or something and redirect general traffic there through a few different methods.. but im not a server guy really.. check out more about what .htaccess can do.

Yeah I will do the pretty urls thing. One step at a time.
I think maybe if I have the dev server in a new folder on the same level as httdocs ie not inside it. It may work.
Thanks for your help.
BTW I sent an email to set up Concrete5 users group in Auckland NZ and I would also like to become a member. Is that possible? I couldnt see a 'become a member' button anywhere but I did send in the users group thing. Will that do it?
