Hi

I'm running 1.3.9 patch D.

I have followed the guide here http://www.zen-cart.com/wiki/index.php/LocalCopySite

which enables me to develop locally on my PC, then upload to my hosted site.

I have one problem. Say my real world domain is www.myrealdomain.com


Locally, I have Zencart set up as www.example.com and a mapping to loopback IP in LMHosts (as per ZenCart Guide).


I assume the site email address settings are stored in the actual DB? - As when I transfer my local copy to the live site, I get email addresses showing example.com

The only way around this is to set up www.myrealdomain.com with a mapping to localhost on my PC? (A bit of a pain, as I will have to remember to change LMHosts when I want to access my real live site!!!)

Am I missing something obvious here? The only decent work around I can think of is to develop locally in a Virtual Machine.

Regards
Al
