How It's Done

Configuring The Developer's Toolbox for your web site is straight forward!

1. Update the configuration file
2. Setup your database
3. Plug and Play your web site templates

Development Environment

Your LOCAL, STAGING and PRODUCTION environments can be configured from "lib/core/class.config.php" :

private $productionServers = array('/^example\.com$/','/www.example\.com$/');
private $stagingServers    = array('/^stage.neveranullmoment\.com$/');
private $localServers      = array('/^devbox\.dev$/');

Database Configuration

From here, you can then update the MySQL read/write username and password combinations :

$this->dbReadHost = 'localhost';
$this->dbWriteHost = 'localhost';
$this->dbName = '';
$this->dbReadUsername  = '';
$this->dbWriteUsername = '';
$this->dbReadPassword  = '';
$this->dbWritePassword = '';
$this->dbOnError = 'die';
$this->dbEmailOnError = false;
