UNFUDDLE

We’re going to be using Unfuddle to provide subversion hosting, project management and bug tracking.

• Create a free unfuddle account, e.g. Bytewire
• Set up your first project e.g. Street Crime
• Create a repository: http://bytewire.unfuddle.com/svn/bytewire_streetcrime/

LOCAL DOMAIN ON OSX

Set-up a local test domain on OS X

• Add it to the hosts file

printf "127.0.0.1\tstreetcrime\n" | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts

• This should now be accessible via http://streetcrime/

MAMP

MAMP is an excellent bundle of Apache, MySQL and PHP for use on Macs. These tools do come pre-installed with Leopard by default, but php in particular is missing a fair few modules which you can only really add by re-compiling – MAMP makes it a lot easier. It installs new versions of PHP, MySQL and Apache alongside the default versions (on different ports), so that both can be run at the same time.

• Download it from: http://www.mamp.info/en/downloads/index.html
• Once you have installed it, you can configure it to work with your local test domains.

1. • Create a folder where the site code will be placed, e.g. /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/streetcrime/http/
   • Open up /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/httpd.conf with a text editor.
   • Uncomment the NameVirtualHost line, and add a couple of news lines to define the new virtual host. It should look like:

NameVirtualHost *

<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/
ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/streetcrime/http/
ServerName streetcrime
</VirtualHost>

• Restart MAMP through the MAMP control applet or widget. You should then be able to access the site at http://streetcrime:8888/

INITIAL COMMIT OF CODE

• Make the trunk folder inside the repository where your site code will initially be kept.

svn -m '' mkdir http://bytewire.unfuddle.com/svn/bytewire_streetcrime/trunk/

• Check out the trunk to your project top level folder

svn co http://bytewire.unfuddle.com/svn/bytewire_streetcrime/trunk/ /sites/street-crime.com/

• Check through the folder structure and look for anything that should be excluded:

du -h --max-depth=1 /sites/street-crime.com/http/

• Edit the svn:ignore property

svn add /sites/street-crime.com/http/

svn propedit svn:ignore /sites/street-crime.com/http/

• List the files & folders that you want to ignore, and then save and quit.

PSD
gangster-game-forum
gangster-game-wiki
gangster-game-blog
logs
uploads

• Add the remaining files and commit (excluding uploads etc with svn:ignore)

svn add --force /sites/street-crime.com/http/

svn commit -m 'Importing main files'

CHECKING OUT CODE TO THE OSX DEVELOPMENT WORKSTATION

• Change directory to the folder you set up locally for development.

cd /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/streetcrime/

rmdir http

svn co http://bytewire.unfuddle.com/svn/bytewire_streetcrime/trunk/ .

TESTING THE SITE

• Visit http://streetcrime:8888/ – it showed a blank page for me. That would suggest error reporting is off, so enable in /Applications/MAMP/conf/php5/php.ini
