NYCPHP Meetup

[Alberto dos Santos]

I usually do all the development and testing in my own computer (laptop) and
when I'm ready I export it to the server.
But, if you want, you can install it on the server and on your first visit
to the administration area you can take the site offline by selecting the
very first option on the "Global Configuration" option.
This way you log in as admin and do what you want, and see the site online,
but everybody else just gets the offline message, and they can't peek.
If you really need to install it on another directory, np, you can mv it
later to root.
Just alter the paths in config.php and it should be fine.
