Re: image CSS formatting

I can not speak for anybody else but I guess that you could have avoided the problem if you installed the site in the root of your localhost. The slash in the beginning has nothing to do with txp but how the browser interprets it, which is, the root of the site.

Re: image CSS formatting

When I do AMP dev on my Mac, I use the local Apache instance, the local PHP, install MySQL, then create vhosts inside the ~/Sites folder for each project. My schema tacks a .localhost on the end of a URL, so deving for example.com exists locally as example.com.localhost, which avoids the subdirectory stuff. When I push to the live site, I just switch out the site URL in prefs and that’s about it.

Re: image CSS formatting

Thanks Pete, this is a good advice.
I’ve created a subdirectory for TXP just ‘cause I had different projects (a forum and so on…) in the same httdocs folder of XAAMP.
Your solution is smarter, I’ll do this way in future.

Re: image CSS formatting

The other option if you want to keep things nice and modular is to spin up a VirtualBox VM in bridged networking mode for each dev instance, and use hosts to map names to each one. Personally, and I’ll try and write this up proper, I use Gas Mask for hosts management, whether it’s localhost or VMs.

I discovered Vagrant a couple of weeks ago. It wasn’t quite as easy to setup under Windows (at least for me) as advertised but I did get it up and running.

Re: image CSS formatting

This is something new: thank you, Michael!

I think this could be a good start for your FAQ contribute! ;-)

Updated link for Gas Mask: github.com/2ndalpha/gasmask

Uli – thanks for the edit. I’ve never had a problem with the original site or the software, so let’s hope it’s a false alarm.

Yup. Let’s also hope this is not a business model, blocking websites for competitor’s money. (Trafficlight not only alarms but blocks websites from being accessed.)
