Deek Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I would like to set up a local test environment similar to the one I will have at TCH. Where can I find info on what software the servers are running. RedHat version? Apache version? etc... -Deek P.S. The reason is because I would like to play around with some different tweaks to my site without affecting the actual site, without using my transfer bandwidth, and without having to wait for my slow dialup! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Bruce Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 You can find most of that information in your cPanel. Look down the left hand column. It should all be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am writing this post from work and they block port 2082 so I could not check to see if the info was there. I'll look at it when I get home. Thanks again! -Deek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Don Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 You might be interested in your own Apache server to develop your site on your computer. Many of us use this to create and modify our sites locally first then upload when finished. XAMPP is an easy to install Apache distribution containing MySQL, PHP and Perl Its easy to install and use.

TCH-JimE Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I use XAMPP and its a rather good package (and free too!) And problems, give us a shout JimE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Don Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 If you do install Xampp just create a folder below htdocs and point your browser to http://localhost/folder to see your site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeJ Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Main thing is to use Apache 1.3.x, and (if you use PHP), PHP 4.4.x, and mysql 4.1.x, and you'll be pretty much covered (or whatever language you are writing your apps in). The rest should not make a significant difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
