Development On Laptop And Desktop
Aug 29, 2008
I am setting up xampp on my desktop and when at home, I can develop on either the desktop or my laptop using xttp://localhost/ or xttp://desktop/. When I suddenly need to travel, what's the best/easiest/fastest way to make sure I have the files I need to work with on my laptop?
Is it to install xampp on my laptop, and then copy the files I need from /xampp/htdocs over from the desktop? How would I copy the MySQL databases over as well?
I was also looking into Microsoft's SyncToy 2.0. When combined with scheduled tasks I can do automatic sychronizations once per day. Multiple times per day would be ideal... but I could set up pairings and do manual copying everytime I need to run out.
Are there better ways? I could install the 'master' server on my laptop, but I would prefer to keep it on my desktop (more space, more power, etc.)

I hate to ask this, because I bet it's been asked many times before, but I want to start a little class teaching web development at a local night school and I wanted to set up a LAN using my laptop, CentOS, and a wireless router.
The idea is to have the students develop their pages and download files and get used to the idea of what a server is.
I see about ten students sitting in a room, popping open their laptops, logging onto the network, and then pointing their browsers to a certain IP address which would be the home page for the class.
If this is possible, can anybody point me in the right direction to teach myself how to do it?

I ordered a new server... ah, looking forward to blistering fast speeds... with 7200 RPM SATA drives. The quote said they were 2.5" drives.
I get the server, look under the hood... They're LAPTOP drives!
WD 1200BEVS (WD Scorpio), listed as 5400 RPM!
Is this normal?? I mean, this thing has to burn at 85% CPU 24 hours a day.
Should we return it and what manufacturer should we suggest for the drives? I can't seems to even find 2.5" SATA drives for non-laptop use.

I have an old PC kicking around that I'd like to turn in to a server connected to my home network for testing/previewing sites. The PC currently has Win XP Pro installed.
I propose to use Apache, complete with MySQL and PHP.
Do I need to have Win XP installed or does Apache work standalone? If I do need an OS, should I use Ubuntu?

I have a dedicated Centos 5 server that is a live production server.
Now I need to have a server for testing things like new kernels, updated packages or changed settings to check if the web applications still run after these updates or changes before I update the live production server.
For this purpose I think the best way would be to have local virtual machines under vmware, also putting Centos 5 onto the virtual machine and even creating snapshots of it, before an update in case the update breaks too many things, I could just revert back.
My question is how can I make sure that I install the exact same packages and same versions of everything onto the development server that I have on the production server now?
How do I create an exact duplicate of my production server before I start to test updates?

I have a CentOS dedicated server that does not have gcc,make,other standard develomplent tools installed. The provider adamantly refuses to offer any assistance citing terms of the contract.
Being a newbie in running servers I have trouble finding binary form of packages matching the version of my OS and pre-installed libraries.
Obviously I cannot compile anything without a compiler (including the compiler itself!).
I have downloaded the centos distro, and mounted iso on my server, but that was wrong version. Turns out the right release is only available via bittorrent - which I again cannot install without gcc.
What is "industry standard" for dedicated Linux servers in this respect: do providers typically pre-install tools like gcc? or they leave users figure that out on their own?

Working on bringing up a new site and was looking to solicit some feedback regarding the optimum way to maintain build/production integrity.
I currently use FileZilla FTP client, set file override to trigger on size and do a bulk upload of the entire site.
The problem is that I need to exclude certain files and directories like the image directory and the configure.php etc. every time I do an upload.
I have used Dreamweavers development/production sync features for a client site in the past and that was very good.
I was thinking about writing my own script to do the maintenance work, but thought I would ask if there is a better way.
How do you all maintain your production/development synchronization?

I have in the past downloaded/installed MAMP for PHP/MySQL development on my Mac laptop.
I recently learned about Ubuntu and am intrigued.
I need to either reinstall MAMP (from www.mamp.info/) which is nothing more than a button click or two.
I do not want to find myself inside a unix shell on the command line - if that's required to install Ubuntu

STAY AWAY FROM HOSTINGPLEX! OR SHOULD IT BE HOAX-ING-PLEX? TOTAL INCOMPETENCE!
After one week and no email on my new VPS and repeated requests by the admins to document what the problem was over and over again I decided to contact sales and report how unsatisfied I was with their service.
The 3rd shift admin promptly removed my VPS and destroyed thousands of dollars worth of development.
I guess if you are that lame that you can't get email working on a week you need to lash out and cause damage to someone. I'll be calling in the morning to see if this is regular policy to immediately void a contract and destroy the current working website wothout any warning.
Reponse from hoaxingplex admin below.
Hello,
We haverefunded the payment and removed the vps, your domain is not registered through us so you already have access to reconfigure it for a new vps, we are not withholding access to anything.

I have recently switched from Ubuntu to Mint because I would like to enjoy out of the box functionality. I installed Apache, PHP and Mysql. When I go to localhost, the page displays correctly indicating that the server is functioning. In /var/www/html I created devPages. In devPages I created a symlink to a directory in my home directory where I keep all of my html/php files.
When I point my browser to http://localhost/devPages/1/ I get "You don't have permission to access /devPages/1/ on this server". This appears to be a permissions/ownership issue. I don't want to change the permissions for the directory or files in the home directory because they are set to work properly on my production server. Is there a way to get apache to accept files in my home directory?
I have set owner and group for devPages and the symlink to www-data. Set permissions to 755 for devPages.
By the way, under Ubuntu, I have always used a symlink and it always worked without any issues.

Does anyone know of a provider that has an Ubuntu Desktop VPS? I've got accounts with fsckvps and xensmart but they only have centos ones - I'll install gnome on of them if I really have to but i'd prefer todo as little leg work as possible as it's for personal use.

This is a little bit Offtopic here but maybe it's okay to ask my question.
For my GUI software development i need a virtual server solution. It must run WinXP, WinVista, LinuxI386, LinuxAMD64, FreeBSDI386, FreeBSDAMD64 and Solaris.
I'm currently running VMWare with all this systems. But their KVM tools are very instable - especially when waking up from hibernate etc. They eat the key/mouse focus and the only way to get any reaction is often a hard shutdown.
How good are the other Virtualization Kits? I heared that FreeBSD does not work on VirtualBox? I'm especially interested in Xen but i'm not sure if this is good for Desktop use. Seems that it is promoted almost exclusively as a server solution.

I signed up for a windows VPS.
The directions I recieved were "Please use remote desktop to connect to your server."
So I entered the ip address into the remote desktop connection window and it doesn't connect. Where do I go from here? I searched and can't find any relevant info.

I signed up for a Win2k3 VPS account with 3dgwebhosting. I'm a newbie to Plesk and win2k3 so I spent the first day getting head around Plesk.
I then logged into Remote Desktop only to find someone else had beat me. They'd hacked in and downloaded a mass email client, email stripper and obviously sent out spam from a 2mb text file of email addresses.
I didn't spend long in Remote Desktop, but while there I switched on Windows Firewall, changed my admin login password and logged off.
Now, 24 hours later, I can't get back in. I get the error - This computer can't connect to the remote computer. Try again.....
I can still login through Plesk, FTP and ExpressionWeb.
Is FW keeping me out of RD or has the hacker returned?

I recently got a Windows VPS to run a few applications 24/7. I generally login to the VPS during the day, via Remote Desktop, to review these applications..
However, I frequently have issues. Sometimes, I forget to log out and I will be terminated with a "the remote computer terminated the connection" and then I won't be able to re-login to the VPS. Sometimes I click the X on the Remote Desktop and then when I try to re-connect, I get the same error. Once I got the error "the remote connection has timed out. please try re-connecting to the remote computer again "
And the worse part is that the Remote Desktop can't be restarted alone.. my host has to restart my Windows every time - so my applications go down.
Is it me or is the VPS not supposed to act like this? Why is Remote Desktop so touchy?
I was told by the host that I should always use the Log Off.. however, if I do then Windows says that it will close all my applications.. I don't get any option to Log Off without closing the apps.. so I have to end up using the X.

a while back i had good experience with windows vps.i could remote login, and run things and just relax.
i am looking for ubuntu desktop vps, or any linux desktop vps, that has gui. i think this will be cheaper because there is no license fee to pay unlike windows.
i am looking to purchase around 20 of these small vps, for a project, so i would like the price per vps to be as low as possible.

I am currently accessing Serers through remote desktop (windows 2003). To be on the safe site, i like to allow only 1 IP to access through remote, even better would be through one specfic domain or subdomain.
I have already changed the port number, but still like to have this additional feature.

I know that Windows RDP Hosting is not a new Idea, but has anyone tried it with Ubuntu. I do have VNC Access to the server, but that only allows me to authenticate with a password, I need username and password.
What would be the best remote application for this?
