Here's my question I will try and explain as best as possible. So my day started with an email that gave me an idea. http://www.dwuser.com/education/content/why-you-need-a-testing-server-and-how-to-do-it/?utm_source=direct_email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=quicktip_e5may2012 I already have a local teting environment setup on a "always-on" computer for clients to be able to view their site whilst in production. No problem there. But this article seemed like a great idea I often find myself getting frantic emails this doesn't work. Why is my site in Latin? WTH does Lorem Ipsum Mean. Blah Blah Blah.... So this private dev/test server for my eyes only is a great idea. Now I have everything configured and setup with the exception of MySQL because I would like to share the DB between the two computers so I don't have to now manage a db on my testing server and my clients viewing server. I would greatly appreciate any thoughts, ideas, or solutions any one may have. Thanks
