[HCoop-Discuss] testing websites

[Peter Gammie]

Hello,

I'm struggling to debug my website config, which is exacerbated by a  
lack of timely feedback from logs.

It strikes me that a general solution might be to have a playground  
domain accessible only from mire. Roughly, given my domain peteg.org,  
a domtool variant would configure peteg.org.test.hcoop.net, and the  
(unified) logs for all sub domains of test.hcoop.net would be  
publically accessible on the filesystem. Sure, there are plenty of  
security issues, but that's a tradeoff I'd be prepared to make. One  
could imagine the settings on that sub domain being purged regularly,  
e.g. within an hour of being established, or when the user logs out.

What do people think?

cheers
