Months ago we set up a development server.
And after much time and expense, it continues
to be unusable....
Our production server hosts ~40,000 users and we
have treaded lightly in making only NECESSARY
changes on the "live" server.
We dislike doing development here and it has
discouraged us from making many changes.
We make a mirror copy of our production site
"mysite.com" on the dev server and change the
settings so the domain is "mysite.ws" yet we
canNOT log onto the dev site ".ws". Many
tricks have been tried by our OpenACS
knowledgable developers without success.
We thought it was because our code had some
custom change that in some way have hard coding
to the prod domain: "mysite.com", yet we find this
thread that indicates that this is a problem
for all ACS users:
SUBJECT:
Host-node map, acs-subsite, cookies, and registrations.

from the thread in part:
In June 2006 Ryan Gallimore posted:

I've found that when I setup a second domain in
addition to domain1.com, say domain2.com, and map
it to a subsite, it's pretty much unusable...
The subsites are such a great mechanism, what
have admins done in the past when they want to
host separate domains pointing to different
permissioned subsites?

and In November Ryan wrote in reply to Dave Bauer:

Adding a redirect for /notifications worked fine.
But /register failed:
http://subsite.com/register/
Always redirects to:
http://mainsite.com/register/
Which makes it impossible to template subsite.com,
or operate it as a distinct area.
Any ideas?

AND there has been no reply or solution that
would solve this?
Does anyone in the openacs community use a
dev server / production server with subsites?
If so, can you offer insight so we can use
a Dev server for development?
Are there any plans to make CORE changes
so that this is solved?
Thanks
