Progress Report...
Hi,
Firstly, thanks to Chris for a really prompt response! I've been hard at work since, getting things going, so I missed out on all the good stuff from Jo and Andy in the meantime. Tsk tsk!
I only have access to one PC and one server, so I've gone for the simple approach:
1. I have a subdirectory protected using HTTP BASIC authentication (instructions at: http://www.euronet.nl/~arnow/htpassw...mentation.html) which contains the test shop. Note that I say protected, rather than secured, since HTTP BASIC can be brute-forced. I am prepared to accept the risk of this happening.
2. I have a single cgi-bin (see Chris' comment above) and have modified my network settings accordingly. I've exported these settings (see Jo's comment) so that I can reference them later.
3. I have uploaded my test site and I'm happy that this works OK.
To Do List...
1. Get the site ready for testing by my guniea pigs, then issue username-passwords.
2. Create network settings for the live site.
3. Test a live upload.
4. Document change/test/release procedures in the form of a "flight checklist", paying particular attention to the need to select the correct network settings, so that I confuse myself!
Thanks to the Community for the help so far!
Cheers
Neil
