Category Image 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)
