WebDev22 Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 We have a team that all works remotely and are about to set up a subdomain (beta.domainname.com) to use to a bunch of new development. As I was setting this up, I was wondering how others handle their dev environments. It's faster to develop locally, but then you have to rely on screenshots or screen shares to share information.
cornishpirate Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 XAMPP on local server. Couldn't do without it!
WebDev22 Posted November 15, 2011 Author Posted November 15, 2011 I have and use XAMPP as well, but need to be able to show progress to the team.
cornishpirate Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 I registered another domain just for testing and made it only accessible with username/password. I prefer to keep ALL testing as far away as possible from my live site!
♥kymation Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 I have used a separate domain or a subdomain on several projects. Both work well. If you are running your dev domain/subdomain in the same webspace as the main domain, keep all files used by the dev domain separate from the main, and use a separate database as well. The tricky part is keeping the files synced. Having two team members working on the same file at the same time can be tricky. I don't have a good solution for this.
