staging

I have a wordpress site and I have to do modifications very often so i would like to create clone of that website for testing because i would like to test my modification first for a few days before i put them on my site. There are links to the "real" site everywhere so i'm not sure how to do that. UPDATE (improved explanation): Problems: links are absolute this need to be online so other developers can test site Copy/paste your entire files from your domain to everywhere you want as first step. Go to the phpMyAdmin or use a tool that permit to you to export your database as .sql . Open the

Closed 5 years ago . We run 2 different environments on our server - say, production.mydomain.com and staging.mydomain.com The staging environment is nearly identical to the production environment, except that it often has several new features which are being reviewed (eg new_user_profile, image_tagging, etc). These features are individually accepted by the client at different times. What is the best

This question already has answers here : Closed 7 years ago . Possible Duplicate: Git Post-Receive Hook for Website Staging I started learning Git today and I'm stuck on one thing. When I push my local production repository to my remote staging repository, I would like to immediately be able to view my newly pushed files live. When I try to look for my files in my remote repository (via an FTP client), I can't find them. Do I need to perform some advanced Git magic in order to achieve this (hooks?)? What is best practice for this situation? Again, I'm new to Git and don't fully understand the

In our company we have staging and production servers. I'm trying to have them in state 1:1 after latest release. We've got web application running on several host and many instances of it. The issue is that I am an advocate of having the same architecture (structure) of web applications on staging and production servers to easily test new features and avoid creating of new bugs with new releases. But not everyone agree with me, and for them is not a such big deal to have different connection between staging application instances. Even maybe to have more application and connections between

I'm relatively inexperienced when it comes to Unit Testing/Automated Testing, so pardon the question if it doesn't make any sense. The current code base I'm working on is so tightly coupled that I'll need to refactor most of the code before ever being able to run unit tests on it, so I read some posts and discovered Selenium, which I think is a really cool program. My client would like specific automated tests to run every ten minutes on our production server to ensure that our site is operational, and that certain features/aspects are running normally. I've never really thought to run tests
