[support] Staging question

[Metzler, David]

This tehcnique will certainly work, but I also keep a staging site on my
Mac, dispite the differences in SQL version.  

I periodically export my database from the production version and import
it into my staging site on my mac.  I try stuff out there.  All new
modules get tried out on my local machine before copying them to the
production site.  Espically theming work is much more repsonsive on a
local box. 

You've probably allready got your staging site up by now, but in case
there were others listening I thought I'd mention it.

Subject: [support] Staging question


Thanks for many helps from this list, I am getting close to deploy a
Drupal site.  Since I can't stage on my local machine (ISP uses MySQL
v4, which I can't find download for OSX, and I already burnt once by
uploading v5 file from my local machine), I need to create a staging
site on my server.  I created a duplicated DB, renamed 'stage'.

The question is the next step.  Do I have to duplicate everything to
stage.<sitename>.com directory?  I really do not wish to do this since,
not only audio/video files are big, synching the two might be a
nightmare.

I googled around.  I see a few posts asking for how to do a staging
site, but no hit on any answer to this question.
