Dynamic Web Page on Mac OSX |
|---|
| message from paccaso on 19 Jul 2004 |
How do I create a remote server in OSX so that I can create and test dynamic web pages. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I would really discourage you from testing remotely, especially if you are
on a shared server. It's very easy to become extremely unpopular if you
accidentally bring down a shared server with some untested code.
To develop dynamic sites localy on OSX you should download and install
MySQL, actually I think it's already included with Panther. Them load CFMX
or PHP and develop away and be secure in the fact that you are uploading
tested working code to your host's server.

I agree with Lawrence: instead of testing on a remote server, use the power you
already have on your Mac.
To do this you will need to download mySQL (Lawrence is wrong: only OS X
server comes with mySQL) from
http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/collections/webserving.html site.
Hope this helps.

AS Panther is OS X he was completely correct.
Also, I would suggest using PHP and MySQL on your Mac, but you also have the
option of connecting to a Windows based machine and taking to an Access or SQL
server database, but I would recommand using this in house, via a network,
rather then talking to it via an internet connection....for the points made by
the other people, considering speed and the possibiility of knocking over the
remote server.
