[TYPO3-english] Instructions for migrating site from webhost to VMware (Mac) Ubuntu ...

[Ron Hall]

Hello Christoph,

> just thought i'd share this, it's probably not big news for experienced developers, but i think this is a very good development system for new t3 developpers, especially because you don't pollute your main Operating system .. i have installed php/mysql/apache many times on different Mac OS version (desktop and server) and it's always a pain, and most of the times there are many problems, especially with imageMagick, GDlib, etc

Personally, I don't  go to the step of using VMWare for this though I use it for browser testing.

I use MAMP, MAMP Pro to be specific. Makes it very easy to setup up and manage local development installations. Other local machines can also easily access the test sites with a small edit on their hosts file.


Thanks,
Ron Hall
