    Hi,

    I have an EE2 site in development which I’ve started on my local machine, and am now moving to the server for continued development. This seemed like a fairly straightforward process when I read this article: http://eeinsider.com/articles/creating-a-robust-config.php-file/ ... until I realised that it was talking about EE1.

    Here’s my current situation:
      * I have the System folder outside of the web root and renamed
      * I’ve modified the System/expressionengine/config/config.php and System/expressionengine/config/database.php on the server
      * The admin side of things works as expected
      * The front end displays nothing, even when all debugging is turned on

    Is there something I’m missing? Are there other config variables I should be adding to my config.php or database.php files which aren’t mentioned in the above article? Is there a more up-to-date guide I can follow for this?

    Thanks!

    Sorry… it turns out I’m just an idiot.

    The article used the array

    $conf[]
    to modify the configuration. I didn’t notice that everything else in the file was using
    $config[]

    Oops!

    Sorry about that.

    In related news, though, I have a pretty solid system for doing local development and then pushing changes to the remote server using git. There were a few gotchas, but it’s working pretty well now.
