Amalgamating Test Sites
We’ve had two test sites running for this new store. The first is on the new domain, the site was purely set up to allow the client to start adding products. The second is on a spare domain for us to work on the site files, add the contributions etc.
Unfortunately yesterday we discovered the second test site wasn’t working correctly as it wasn’t picking up the shipping, payment or order modules in the admin and that was causing errors on the front end. So after trying to fix the modules we concluded that there was a server error of some sort and so decided to just update the new domain with our files and continue working directly on that, now that the admin section is finished with the contributions.
This has taken pretty much 24 hours to do however. Our ADSL has slowed down to less than dial up speeds and trying to upload the files for osCommerce has just been a joke. It took about an hour or so to just get the admin section online, and even then some of the files were only partially uploaded, so I’ve had to check every single file to ensure it’s online in its complete state. However finally the files are on the domain and so now I just have to fix the two contributions that aren’t working perfectly and play around with the product layouts a little. Hopefully this’ll all be finished and live soon!
