Hi, this is geek shout out to anyone having problems doing a flat html copy of your dynamic site form your localhost i.e your desktop PC
here is what I have done:
- set up xaamp on my local machine (i do this usually becaseu it speeds up site theme building)
- build the CMS, whatever flavour for the purposes of this blog post
- download and install winhttrack
- copy the local site onto a server where there is no ability to have a dynamic site… but where you like most of the dynamic stuff i..e navigation and so on
I’m doing all of the above on a client site.
Now here is the trick with winhttrack…
- you need to use your machines IP address as the source http:// location and make sure you do the same in your cms, so instead of the site being located in http://whatever it will be he IP address you have got from doing a check on your machine.
- make sure under the> set options > spider > 2nd drop down box > set the rule to no robots.txt (xaamp prevents the winhttrack from fully spidering the site)
IP lookup for pc’s : see here
winhttrack : see here
xaampp : see here
cms’s to try and download : opensourcecms.com
