Things to remember before going live

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
I remember seeing here topics about "things to remember when you go live" with your project and some different ways to separate your development and production servers but I'm having a hard time to figure out keywords to find these topics, maybe some one could point me to right direction

Here's a good blogpost on smashing magazine:

and, if you want it extra detailed, see this:

As far as CodeIgniter is concerned, remember to check the database.php and config.php and adapt it to production environment.

Thank you! Really good articles and I'm definitely going to check them out but I was interested in this topic more like Codeigniter's point of view, maybe some kind of checklist about basic configuration settings to get ideas and maybe point few things what I may be missing before I go live with my first Codeigniter project.

When it comes to development and production servers, one easy way is of course leave database and config files out of version control or another way is to add some variables to your index.php to point out what server you are working.

I'm sure I have seen some talk about these matters not that long time ago, just can't remember where

Test to see if your error_logging is working:

config/php

Code:

$config['log_threshold'] = 1;

  $config['log_path'] = getcwd() .'/' .APPPATH;

 
Then watch out for:
