Developing using Apache instead of DirectConnect
Using direct connect means that images, CSS
stylesheets and some other aspects of the site do not render precisely or
properly. Using Chuck Hill's advice of "developing in deployment mode" means you
will truly see your working site each time you "Build and Run" on your
development machine. This article explains how to set this up.....
First open your System
Preferences/Sharing/Services and turn on Personal Web Sharing. Apache web server
is now running on your Mac.Next with
your project opened in XCode, Pull down Project menu, select Edit Active
Executable. Under Arguments, add a new Launch Argument:
-DWODirectConnectEnabled=false See example screenshot below (Thanks to Chuck
Hill for this
instruction)
