Guest Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 it is used for development, for example: i have a live site on a server and a copy locally. i also have a web application running locally, whether it be on windows or *nix system. i also have the database locally. or i can point to it via the local configure.php to the live server (i do not recommend this). this way i can run an exact copy locally to make sure it is going to do what i want it to before i publish any changes to the live web site, just not transferring the local configure.php to the live server. you can have different paths setup is the bottom line.
