So What do you guys use for testing your codes?
I use localhost for devoleping and do final testing on my live forum(Privately)

I use a range of setups on my webspace. I'd like to set up my own server, maybe one day I will.

wamp for localhost. I have my own server at work as well that I run my sites off. Thats where I do live testing.

mamp on mac os ... allways testing offline before going online ... ;)

Cool is the mamp a free program?  I have a mac os x and I really need one that can test the code before making it live.

Ah cool, this I must download! :)

Nice thing about wamp too, is that when you have an error in your template its a little more specific about where the actual error that most apache/php setups.

Is it meant purely for testing on a local machine or can you also use it for a live site?

Well, you could use it for a live site. But by default the security is WIDE open on it for dev testing purposes. You'd have to go through and fix all of that before you could make it live. Unless you're crazy and don't care about security. ;)

lol, PASS!!!  :2funny:

But this is perfect for testing, I often have to load a fresh install of SMF and TP onto a sub-domain and I test that way, takes me about 30 mins to FTP a fresh site so I don't do that often.

This is awesome, will take seconds to do the same thing locally  :D  :up:

Wamp looks interesting, downloading Wampserver2 as I type.  :up:

I've been playing around with it for last 2 hours, very nice! :D

I set up my Own WAMP server
I download Apache MySQL and PHP as separate and installed them Lol and it works quite good.

ok guys help a newbie out lol..  i googled and have come up with all kinds of stuff, but here is the thing:

i have a toshiba l30/35 laptop, with only 60 gigs in it.. (would love to have a external hard drive and ram for Christmas.. but might have to wait on that  :-\  ) but i have a linksys router lol.. that has been modded to the hilt, (has either a 1 gig or 4 gig in it) and i know i could do something with it (if i was in control of my web service, but i am not.. ) could i put the wamp on it by any chance? i need something.. anything would help.. thanks  ;)

I use Apache2Triad, quite a nice cp with it too, http://apache2triad.net/

WAMP stands for Windows - Apache - MySQL - PHP
LAMP stands for Linux - Apache - MySQL - PHP
You can download and install all the 3 units(AMP), separately or download a quick fix type of program like Xampp or EasyPHP.

i know what the wamp stands for Dragooon, but can i put it on the laptop, hate to mess up the router putting stuff on it, cuz if i do, i dont think i will be using the laptop in my house lol will be outside and it gets rather chilly at night up in the Smoky Mountains where i live..

so which one would be the best.. ?? im lost  :D

or could i use wubi to put the linux on my laptop like a virtual?? ???

Laptop is a computer only.
See These things have a chance of conflicting with your other softwares. So I really cant say much.

Yeah I downloaded and installed them separately, should have gone and found an 'all in one' package instead.  Though it was relatively easy to setup anyways.

...well easy when security isn't an issue :)

i heard this is to work on either my laptop or my router so will give it a try and report back lol  :D

Wamp is infinitely easier than xampp.Wamp  used to install 123 no probs. With the new version 2.- there have been problems with the default install not being able to start mysql.

If this happens to you-- navagate to wamp/bin/mysql/mysql5.0.45-/my.ini  open it and look for this

# The default storage engine that will be used when create new tables when
default-storage-engine=INNODB

  and change it to

# The default storage engine that will be used when create new tables when
default-storage-engine=MyISAM

It worked for me....

Thanks for that superQ, handy to know.  :up:

Ps. nice underpants!  :2funny:

whistles  :2funny: i like the unders and the cape  ;)

im still not sure what to try, hairy or superq, what do you suggest for me??  :D

most indubitably ===wamp


and if that is your real picture I have some other suggestions :2funny:

I would start out with wamp simply because the interface is so simple--it is easier to use and is more intuitive.. Click on the icon in the taskbar and open this/shut down that/ view php or mysql.open the www folder/open localhost----you know simple

I need simple :uglystupid2:

lol superq :D  then i will try it out  ;)

                              ::) real pic :o

Yeah I have only tried Wamp so far and it's very cool, simple to use.  :up:

I have been holding my tongue about Smoky's pic for ages, Smmmmoking!!!!  :2funny:

Smoky is SMOOOOKIN'

 :2funny: you should see me at a bon fire  :P

thanks for helping me out.. i really needed that.. just got the laptop cleaned up a bit again since the contest and have strated on a new theme thanks to you guys with the Wamp  :D

I seen that there are several wamp. Anyone in particular?

I could only find the one http://www.wampserver.com

There are quite a few flavors to be found ;)

Wamp is for windows--lamp is for linux etc

might as well get the latest one from the previous link.

if it doesn't work --work your way backwards--

I think xammp has more features for the experienced but to test code and preview your site wamp 2.0 is great

another one is
http://www.uniformserver.com/

you can install [I don't think it really installs] this along with a wamp like server I think since it is self contained and it is very secure---never could figure it out,but I am Q  :coolsmiley:

OMG, i was 1 day away and this thread is now 4 pages long ... :o

yes, mamp is free, you can get it here http://sourceforge.net/projects/mamp

:)

i still havent tried this out, but i havent forgotten where the thread is.. lol, what can i say??  :D ;)

wamp looks really cool...I don't do as nearly as much as some guys here but I still go the old skool ways and load each manually on localhost.
http://www.apachemysqlphp.com/index.html (content a bit out od date but applies)
for mysql admin & querries I use SQLyog with phpMyAdmin.
The real issue is remembering the differences between localhost and live site lol.
Smoky...dejavu...told you that you will be looking into test environment soon or later ftp gets old :)

lmao lebisol..  :D you did..  ;)

You can actually get a version of XAMPP which can run fully off of a USB Flash Drive. All configuration information is stored there. Take your server with you from machine to machine:

 :coolsmiley: That looks really good, I'll be able to use that while at work :laugh:  ^-^

you are great!!!! i love portables!!!! thanks so much ;)

I'm using a Joomla stand alone server to test out my work.  I use that and then i'll load it up onto my website's development board to test it out yet again.

Hi everybody! :)

From proposed there servers to tests the best undoubtedly is xampp.
However, it's installing another service: Mysql server! It's needless!
Maybe not even use this, maybe people use another servers, so it's not ok!

In my humble opinion the best of the best etc. is VertrigoServ!
I suggest that server cause from 2 years i've been testing such a lot of servers this type and Vertrigo is the best and fastest, never failed (not even is the best cause made by Pole off course 
Vertrigo has english version too. So no fear!)


Project information

QuoteVertrigoServ has been developed as a highly professional, easy to install package consisting of Apache (HTTP web server), PHP (reflective programming language), MySQL (multithreaded, multi-user, SQL Database Management System), SQLite (ACID-compliant relational database management system), SQLiteManager (multilingual web based tool to manage SQLite database), PhpMyAdmin (tool written in PHP intended to handle the administration of MySQL) and Zend Optimizer (which increases runtime performance up to 40%) for Windows platform. With a convenient all-in-one installer, all components are installed in a single directory and can be used immediately after the installation process has completed. An uninstaller allows you to remove the VertrigoServ from hard disc. It is designed to be as small and flexible as possible and is therefore highly suitable for internet distribution. VertrigoServ is excellent both for beginners and for advanced users.

VertrigoServ - website project (http://vertrigo.sourceforge.net/?lang=eng)

Default passwords:
 
It is recommended you should change the default password for security purposes.
 
  a) MySQL

  b) SQLiteManager
 
  Login : admin
  Password : admin
 
  Login : data
  Password : data
 
  Login : guest
  Password : guest

X========================================>


Another cool stuff to tests is WebServ. In one way is better than Vertrigo-> give us possibility to write root directory, exemplum on another disk. Another servers has not give this option without fenerating errors and others problems.
Unfortunately has not english version, only polish...But it's worth info!

website project and screens (http://www.webserv.pl/?page=wyglad)

edit:
(sorry butt they in this moment have MySQL problem, please comme latter, sorry)*

-------------

edit 2:

*Explanation:
The page of the WebServ project, has momentary problems, there is a time of holidays and if not it will stay repaired by the end of the year, it is a cord I will remove, I am apologizing for trouble!
Butt this is verry good server! And I am asking for the patience because it is worthwhile waiting, the guilt is lying on the page Polish hosting, be the side stayed hacking.. mayby, since in Poland something like that exist as the criminal competition.. everything is possible! so.. normal! hehe
