Re: [PHP] Upgraded PHP now website doesn't work properly?
But what you can do is keep your dev box local, and then use rsync over ssh to publish to the production (or dev) server that is across ocean(s). I use .devel as my TLD for my dev hosts (IE www.something.devel) but otherwise have the dev box configured identical to the production server, so that if it works on dev box I know it works on production. Other thing I do, cron job on production dumps the database once a night, cron job on dev fetches it (via rsync over ssh w/ keys) and applies it to dev database so that the dev database is always very close to production database. Thanks for the tip! It isn't really a necessity as I'm not a web developer - I just built my site from scratch that's all as I don't have any developer friends who can help me out since I'm not an established company yet.. Usually I just sftp a tar'ed folder or files into my home dir if I need anything or do work on the fly. I really need to learn rsync though as I managed to accomplish transfers of it once but never again :-( It is especially useful for backing up machines!

Re: [PHP] Upgraded PHP now website doesn't work properly?
My development box is a Dell Optiplex G50 I found discarded in an illegal trash pile. Hard drive was bad, I had a spare. Heat sink was dislodged, I had thermal paste. CDROM is not reliable, but reliable enough to boot off of a 4MB CentOS boot.iso and network install. Video gives snow, but after install, it's headless so who cares. It's been problem free for a couple months now (found it a couple months ago). Only thing I had to purchase was a mouse for install - as I don't have a spare and didn't feel like detaching a mouse from an existing computer. I installed bluefish on it and use bluefish over ssh via x forwarding on my local lan and sometimes have the bluefish window open for days. When I'm ready to publish to live, I simple ssh in and rsync to live. Never had a slowness problem. It's an old crap computer, ram limit of 512MB (currently has 384 in it), but having the devel box local makes things like X forwarded a GUI text editor cake w/o performance issues. I use Ubuntu for my desktop, no server crap installed on it, I prefer CentOS for serving - so this a cheap crap local box for devel server is the perfect solution. Since I'm the only user, the low performance of the CPU/Intel i815 chipset really isn't an issue (I think the mobo was swapped at some point, Dell website indicates i810 but it has i815).

I use Konqueror to connect as an FTP client, as it works really well as a file manager with the split screen views it has. From there, I can manage most of my files as I wish over sftp as if they were local. The only thing I can't do it edit the graphics files with Gimp, as that doesn't use KDE's kioslaves :( Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk

Re: [PHP] Upgraded PHP now website doesn't work properly?
Depending on the latency and bandwidth you could use X11 forwarding (granted the server supports it) so you could use a non-CLI editor. I think "joe" has some syntax highlighting, but I've never edited PHP files with it. If you are coming from a windows machine, you can use Cygwin or Xming to set up an X server on the box before SSHing to your data center w/X11 forwarding enabled. -Ken Sande Many thanks to everyone! I currently use a mixture of FreeBSD, Linux, and Solaris/OpenSolaris as operating systems so X11 forwarding is not a problem but maybe quite slow considering the distance between me and my data center right now, and also I have only 1Mbps upstream as the data center uses ADSL which is a restriction on my behalf. Am using SFTP to transfer non-html related stuff and using simple nano or copy-paste from the Gnome terminal. Yeah many options available I know and I guess that's what makes things fun :-) Anyway I'm sure I'll work something out, at worst case I could always VPN once I get a Cisco router out here and get an IPsec tunnel going and do things over NFS mount??
