Forum OpenACS Development: Re: Unusable Development server... Solutions?

Posted by Malte Sussdorff on
Bob was not talking about taking a subsite on the production server. The idea is to take the production site dump file, copy it over to the developement server (different computer), install it, reset all host nodes, reset all parameters (notably SystemURL and CookieDomain) and reset every other instance of mysite.com on mysite.ws.

What we found though is that the new server does not set the cookie at all. I tried to set a cookie manually using the ad_set_cookie procedure, to no avail.

Note, this behaviour does not show up at (at least to my experience now coming to think of it), if you are using a different subdomain specific for development. This might be worth a try, to say:

develop.mysite.com is redirected via DNS to the development server's IP address and we make sure that develop.mysite.com cannot be a subdomain for mysite.com (on the production server).
