Viget Inspire: ExpressionEngine on Multiple Machines
I just finished reading a great article from Doug Avery on Viget Inspire about running ExpressionEngine on Multiple Machines. They do a lot of things very similarly to how we do them at Happy Cog: Keeping everything in version control, everybody running the site on their local machines, and a heavilly modified config.php.
It will be awhile before I ever tire of seeing smart people write about how they do their group ExpressionEngine setups (famous last words).
There’s a lot of good info in this article, especially if you’re toying with the idea of getting a setup like this going. Right away, I downloaded the PHP scripts that Doug linked to for database management. I’ve long wanted to simplify that process. I also wrote a comment on the article, suggesting some possible changes to the config.php to make it even more location-aware.
Go check it out, it’s a good morning coffee read. If, that is, you like coffee and ExpressionEngine geek talk.
