TabulaRasa Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 Hey folks, sorry this is kind of a noob question but I'm looking at doing this project and OScommerce is the right tool to use from all that I've read. I'm curious however if I am able to test run the store and such while I'm developing it before it's live to the world? So could I rename the index or default whichever it uses to something like test and just make up a simple HTML that says "under construction" so that if someone comes to my URL they won't see my work in progress? I just don't know if renaming that default page would screw up any references made to it in other parts of the code in the store or not. The last store software I used was Ablecommerce WAY back many years ago and it was kind of crappy. This seems so easy in comparison I'm sure that it's possible. Maybe I can even stick it in another directory temporarily? This is mostly for the "look and feel" I'd load the product afterwards.
♥bruyndoncx Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 you just create an index.htm or index.html page with the underconstruction on it. Then no one accidentally can arrive at your shop as the shop starts from the index.php page. If someone pokes further, evidently they'd find index.php, if you want to avoid anyone accessing the site unauthorized, you could secure the access while in testing with a user/ password combo. KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON I do not use the responsive bootstrap version since i coded my responsive version earlier, but i have bought every 28d of code package to support burts effort and keep this forum alive (albeit more like on life support). So if you are still here ? What are you waiting for ?! Find the most frequent unique errors to fix: grep "PHP" php_error_log.txt | sed "s/^.* PHP/PHP/g" |grep "line" |sort | uniq -c | sort -r > counterrors.txt
