Hi all,
I found enough good information on the forum to get me started using MAMP. I have it installed (MAMP Pro), my local joomla files installed, and I have joomlapack up and running in my production environment. I hope to create development and test environments for each of my sites locally that I can synch on demand with my production environments.
Now I'm kind of stuck. Could someone help me figure out my next steps?
Once I have my development environment matching what's in production (thanks to JoomlaPack), how can I keep the environments synchronized? As I do work in development, there will be database updates in production as well from updates made by users. So I can't simply overwrite my database tables whenever my local development environment is updated. Is there a standard way to do this? Or am I hoping for too much? How do others out there develop and test locally and then move up their changes to production? And how can I keep my local environment updated with the latest production content?
Thanks so much for any help and direction. I feel like I'm going around in circles, and could really use some advice from someone who has already figured out a good approach.
