Ahoy

You could make a Cname, and all that .... but

Here's an easy newbie way: Put a symbolic link in a subdirectory of a live
site, like thus:

1) telnet in
2) type "su", then hit enter, then enter your password
3) type "cd /home/sites/siteY/web" (where Y represents the site number of
your live site), and hit enter
4) type "ln -s /home/sites/siteX/web testdir" (where X represents the site
number of the site you want to test)

Now you can direct your browser to http://www.mylivesite/testdir.

    Obviously a newbie question here.....

    I have someone who wants me to make them a new website.  They already
have one up on a different server and want to keep it there until the one I
make is up and tested.  How do I make the site on the raq with his domain
name and still be able to view it from the internet with a browser.  I can
ftp the pages there but since his domain name is assigned to a different dns
number I can't get to the raq pages.  I looked in the little book that came
with the raq but no dice.  I just finished looking in the KB and again
nothing.  TIA for any help you can give me...
