This is the first CMS I'm getting used to. I haven't bought it yet and have few questions that may or may not be relevant before getting it.
With websites I designed with HTML, I had the first draft on my laptop and FTP'd it to the domain server after I had it looking the way I wanted.
I'm thinking I still need to do this for CMS sites... save it on my mac laptop and get it built and THEN upload it. I used the test script for the web-server I intend on using and there's no problem.
Here's the glitch I have before getting it. How do I test it on my localhost?
I downloaded the test script I used to get a pass or fail with the server to my laptop.
I have the latest versions of Apache and MySQL and PHP through MAMP on my machine and have a couple databases made previously with it using phpmyadmin.
What I would like to know is where do I put the VB test script on my machine and how do I test my local server on my laptop to see if it'll work.
and
If I buy vbulletin, what are the instructions on installing on a local host machine?
Also, do I even NEED to have it on my local host? Do most others keep previewing it on the webserver (maybe using up bandwith?) until they get the site the way they want it to look and function BEFORE having it open to the rest of the web?
