Apache virtual host for drupal test site
- by bsreekanth
Hello,
I am a programmer, trying to launch my first website.. through different helpful posts in sf and others, I setup an account with Linode and set up a slice (Debian, Apache, ..etc). I have a Drupal site under development, and like to have a test site in the Linode server as well. Now, I like to have a site setup with the following requirement.
What is the best way to setup and protect the test site along with the actual (production) site?. Is virtual host is the answer?
To protect the test site, is .htaccess authentication sufficient to prevent access from public and robots?
I also modifying the theme, database contents etc, so having two sites under one drupal installation may not be good idea . what do u suggest?
thanks in advance.
