Re: Profile / Debug w/o server modification?

richard, ive seen plenty of scenarios where the dev box has to be pretty tough itself. i think it depends mostly on how much load its taking on. say you have 30 developers or so working on a few different viirtual sites simultaneously. now add in the problems that occur during development, like my favorite, the infinite loop. yeah ive seen dev boxes just chill at 99% cpu and we're taking 2xp3 xeon w/ a few gigs of ram in it. not saying OP is dealing w/ sucha scenario just daying sometimes dev boxes need some juice too. i found out about the linux vserver project<http://linux-vserver.org/Welcome_to_Linux-VServer.org>only recently, but this is a nice solution. you can get one decent box and throw dev, qa, stage, w/e on there. (and obviously thata may not be practical depending on hardware reqs) if youre running linux that is :) -nathan On 7/29/07, Richard Lynch <ceo@l-i-e.com> wrote: > > On Fri, July 27, 2007 10:01 pm, Instruct ICC wrote: > >>From: "Richard Lynch" <ceo@l-i-e.com> > >> > But xdebug and apd are probably moot. > >> > > >> > BTW, I'm not using separate development and production machines. > >> > >>Right there is your first problem. > >> > >>Solve that first. > > > > If you mean get a dev box.
