You enter a virtual domain name (http://www.yoursote.dev.cc) and click go and you have a Wordpress base website ready for development.
I know and i find it a very poor demand. It takes me less than 5 minutes to setup a WordPress project including a virtualhost and all necessary configuration. And i can do this on every server in every environment.sideburn wrote:the issue is that the php version on desktop server environment is outdated and would be nice to keep everything intact as is and simply update php
And the other issue is that DesktopServer has finished and you wont get any updates anymore. And you dont have any support for migrating from DesktopServer to native Apache Server / MySQL. You are stuck. Thats the high price you paid for the little convenience you had by using DesktopServer.sideburn wrote:Otherwise, yes we either migrate all the websites (which will suck because of the MySQL database and domain names) to MAMP and XAAMP etc and stop using DTS. The wordoress database is strictly tied to the domain names.
Why "suck"? Its not very difficult to export / import databases. We will do this here.sideburn wrote:DesktopServer uses some trickery to deal with SSL and creates domain.dev.cc domains
No, it probably does not use "trickery". There is no trickery with SSL. You have to create certificates and apply them to Apache as documented. This is not magic or trickery. It is simply basic knowledge of Apache. Which you usually acquire automatically if you don't use tools like DesktopServer, but read a bit the Apache documentation. "All beginnings are hard", but the more often you do it, the easier it gets in the long run.
Okeee dokeee. Always the arrogant one lol.
The “trickery” is it solves the issue of you to deal with ssl certs all together on local host because chrome doesn’t see it as an insecure domain.
when you have 100+ cloned websites in the existing working desktopserver xampp setup why bother spending all the time migrating to another lamp stack when DesktopServer currently works perfectly fine and the very low priority at the moment of the php version being out of date is pretty much a non issue. So it’s not that big of a “demand”.
I realize it’s not a big deal setting up a new Wordpress on a different server but will it’s a hassle.
A) create the domain and modify your hosts file and configure your php.admin etc.
b) install all of the Wordpress files and configure the MySQL database
C) run through the Wordpress setup process.
D) deal with all the crap that you forgot or issues that arise.
Or you could a) click “new site” in DesktopServer and type in your desired domain name and click go and start coding in vscode and gettin real work done.
I saw this post and figured if someone’s already found a solution or knows where the location of the php version is in the xampp environment then cool. Otherwise I’ll deal with it later.
