Using a single website for testing while running older existing webpages

quick question guys
our company has an older existing webspace and website running
i'm currently re-doing the website and would like to test how it currently runs online but without disabling the existing older pages, how can this be done?
when i looked at the online space of the existing site via ftp program, it contains 4 folders:
cgi-bin
logs
private
public
public is where all the current website is housed. what are the other folders for? they are currently empty.
can i simply create a folder called test1 and upload all the files for the new site into this folder in the existing public folder and access it by simply using the "test1" folder in my webaddress?
eg. existing site:
www.website.com
test site:
www.website.com/test1
will this work? all my coding (js, css) has filepaths pointing to their respective folders from the root, ie "../css/website.css" etc. will all the root access to the new site work this way?
hope you understand my question.
thanks for any input

hey everyone
thanks so much for the answers and feedback
I eventually followed osgood's example and created a two letter folder (name "ts") and uploaded it to the public folder of our existing website with the relevant new files.
I was then able to access those files (well a single page right now) in browser by simply appending the folder name at the end of the existing webaddress:
acompany.net -existing page
acompany.net/ts/ - location of new webpage(s)
when i add more pages they should be referenced within this folder only,unless i have specific outside links to go to, correct?
i'm curious as to why there are so many various and warning messages about doing testing this way? is it really bad? will search engines remember these test pages and degrade the company's web prescence later?? i guess with larger corporate sites with hundreds of pages, more caution has to be used? I hope i'm not doing anything harmful to the existing webstanding of the online site.

I always include the test folder in the public folder to begin with but use a meta tag to stop search engines indexing the pages.
I'm always a bit nervous about moving things around once extensive testing has been undertaken incase something breaks
You could then just redirect the root level index file to point to the test folder, just rename the folder to something more discret like the initials of the company name.
so www.thiscompany/tc looks better than www.thiscompany/test
Of course if you have any absolute url coding in the site you will have to change that too so it points to the correct file. You'd have to do that anyway
This http://www.thiscompany.co.uk/test/images/image_1.jpg is not going to be the same as http://www.thiscompany.co.uk/images/image_1.jpg

  • Install 11.1.2.4 on a single server for testing

    I am not sure if anyone has installed 11.1.2.4 on a single server. If so can you please assit me. We are trying to consolidate some servers and would like to use a single server for testing of 11.1.2.4. Can this be done? Has anyone done this sucessfully or have any documents on how to do it on a single server.
    Any input would help

    Either the physical drive or the enclosure electronics has failed. The light you are seeing is powered by the USB connection, the power, electricity, all USB ports put out. That doesn't mean the actual physical hard drive or the USB to SATA bus electronics are working properly. If it doesn't show in Disk Utility then it is DEAD.
    Most of the time it is the enclosures electronics that fail. Removing the physical drive from the enclosure and put it in another enclosure or using a SATA to USB adapter, one that has it's own AC power supply, might allow you to get the files off the drive.

  • HT1660 how can I use one single library for all users on the same laptop?

    how can I use one single library for all users on the same laptop?

    You are most of the way there. Each user having access to hard drive is the key. If users are limited in file privileges this is harder.
    Any files you add to your library and any files she adds to her library are available to the other. Just not automatically. Each user must add the files to their own library using the add file or add folder option from menu bar.
    What I have done is set library location to a location outside of My Documents\My Music. On my network storage I have a folder names s:\itunes. Both accounts iTunes are set to use this location for the library.

    Hi There :
    I just installed windows xp on my mac book pro. I have Word for Mac already installed. Is there any way by which I can use this Word software while I am running Windows.
    Thanks a lot

    You'd need to install a virtualization product, such as VMware Fusion or Parallels Desktop for Mac. This way, you'd be running Windows alongside Mac OS X. I use VMware Fusion and recommend it. For resource-intensive applications, I boot natively into Windows, but I generally use the virtual machine for convenience sake.

  • Website for testing tablets, smartphones?

    Now that Device Central is defunct, does there exist a website similar to Browser Lab for testing websites on mobile devices?

    There's a few options.  First, Apple has XCode and Android has their SDK for testing.  Also if you are using a responsive design, just resizing the browser window in something like Chrome will show you the results.  If you are doing it based on user-agent there are plugins depending on the browser, or Safari has a developer menu that can be enabled from the preferences to trick the site into thinking you are browsing with an iPhone/iPad to show you the mobile site.

  • I cannot get to or use my home pc for a while and am staying with a friend for the foreseeable and am using their pc to write this. How do I access my itunes account on their pc. Thanks Karen

    I cannot get to or use my home pc for some time and am staying at a firends and using their pc to write this. I need to access my itunes account and music on their pc. How do I do this. Thanks

    An easy route would be to use the iTunes Match service such that all your Songs are available anywhere over the internet via iCloud.  Once complete you can create an account on your friends PC, download iTunes and sign-in to the iTunes Store with your Apple Id, start iTunes Match and it will provide access to all your Songs.
    Not quite so good, is simply to follow the steps on your friends PC as above, however, instead of iTunes Match simply access the 'purchased' songs area from the iTunes Store home page that will give you access to all your purchases without iTunes Match.
    IMPORTANT:  Apple only like to see a single Apple Id associated with one device - so if your friend already has an active Apple Id account on the PC, it would be wise to use an alternate machine.  Apple has a 90 day lock out associated with switching Apple Ids on a common device.

  • Using a Single Library for Entire Site and When to Use Subsites

    I'm hoping a discussion I am having with my coworkers can be solved.  We are trying to decide two things:
    Should the entire office be under a single site or should each division have their own site?  Our Office has 5 divisions that contain 17 Branches, one site for business functions and one top-level site for the entire office.
    Is it standard practice to create one huge library managed by metadata or should there be multiple libraries?  I tend to think one library will be too hard to manage with regard to metadata and site columns and that libraries should be based on business
    functions or subject domains (i.e., SOPs, Quality Documents, Business Documents, Technical Documents, etc).
    Currently, several workflows, libraries and lists have already been created under our business functions site.  In order to house everything under a single site, we would need to change the name of the site and move everything under it.  I'm not
    sure if changing the name of the existing site will cause problems.
    I group these two items together because they really seem related.  With everything under a single site, individual libraries, lists and workflows could get out of hand as everyone tries to manage their own division.  But then so would a single
    library for everyone.  The problem with more than one site is that data cannot flow freely between sites (via workflows) and search would be less effective so some are against separate sites.  So knowing one question may affect the answer for the
    other.
    Any thoughts on our library and site structure would be appreciated.  Thanks.

    As always the usual SharePoint consultant cop-out answer of 'it depends' is correct.
    Having said that there are certain trends that are quite relevant:
    It isn't common to use a single site collection for all sites. It can be done but it often leads to a state where you have a single monstrous site collection which is harder to backup, recover and maintain (see the boundaries and limits documents). The
    default behaviour in most cases is to have a central 'shared' site collection then one per <group> where Group is a team that works on the same content, has broadly the same area of interest and access. That might be one for HR, one for the Support team,
    one for the Sales team etc.
    In terms of libraries there's a wide variation. If there' no difference in views, security and metadata then keeping the library count down is generally a good thing. However using multiple libraries can make life easier and better for users by allowing
    more useful views, more secure by locking down libraries rather than using item level permissions (always a nightmare) and allowing more useful alerts and so on.
    SharePoint architecture is a science but it's a really, really hard one to formulate into If/Then rules. So, broadly answering your questions I would lean towards multiple site collections and I generally agree with you on point 2, although if there's only
    a small number of documents and simple structure then a single library might still make sense.

  • Do you have to be logged into test agent via remote desktop for tests to run

    Hi 
    I have some coded UI tests now working and they successfully run in my test agent. However they don't run if you don't have remote desktop open and you are not logged into the test agent itself with the desktop active.
    Error was:
    Automation engine is unable to playback the test because it is not able to interact with the desktop.  This could happen if the computer running the test is locked or it’s remote session window is minimized.
    Any ideas how to get round this?
    Kind regards
    Rob

    Hi Rob,
    >>Automation engine is unable to playback the test because it is not able to interact with the desktop.  This could happen if the computer running the test is locked or it’s remote session window is minimized.
    This is by Design as for Playback an Active session is needed as in coded UI tests we do actual Mouse and Keyboard actions.
    Like Vishnu's suggestion in this blog:
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vishnus_blog/archive/2013/05/05/coded-ui-test-not-able-to-interact-with-the-desktop.aspx
    For the UI tests, the active desktop session has to be opened. We have faced this issue and we have couple of solutions
    1. Open a Hyper-V session onto the machine where the UI Tests are running. You can minimize the hyper-V window and the tests will still run fine.
    2. If you are running tests in a Lab Environment created from Microsoft Test Manager, Run the tests and open LEViewer[Lab Environment Viewer] to keep the desktop session active.
    3. Enable AutoLogon on the machine where the tests are running and restart the machine. Then you don't need to do remote desktop -

  • Using a Single Credentials for the Multiple Users

    Hi Oracle Team ,
    We are in the process of creating a Android App and communicate it to DMS for all the data to and fro .
    Following  this post Creating the Application User dynamically on the device  , we tested the App with single credential ,
    We found a Strange behavior of the App  when it is tested from the two different devices  with same username/pwd/url,
    Usecase :
    Device 1 : Added 5 records and synced . Sync successful .All data in server
    Device 2 : Added 5 different records and synced . Sync Successful . No data of Device 2 in server but all the data added by Device 1 and which was in server before sync is in Device 2 .
                    The data added by Device 2 is missing , where it is ? , I checked the data in the $tables as well, no data ,
    Is it a Snapshot issue ? , Why data is missing ?  is it a defect or can't use DMS that way ?
    Thanks,
    Spurthi 

    Hi Spurthi,
    This is not a reasonable use case. There are technical details to be explained, but just to clarify, the proper use case is to run one client (you can say one DMS user) on one device.
    Thanks,

  • Is there a way to use a single bitmapdata for multiple images with GPU mode?

    With GPU mode is there a way to bring in a single 1024 X 1024 png containing all my sprites and then slice it up into multiple display objects all refering to the original BitmapData?
    I have an app that runs in GPU mode - but I want to optimize the image management.
    I am making three sets of images in the orders of 2048, 1024 and 512 px.
    The app is a book app and each page has around 4 to 5 bitmaps. I would like to bring in one single image and slice it up - but just refer to the original bitMapData in the memory.
    Is there a way to do this - e.g. using a masking technique?
    I think it is possible using textures in direct mode - but that is not an ideal solution for me - as the app is already in the appstore - and I would have to entirely refactor it for stage3D. Also I use very large bitmaps which have some masking animations applied to them dynamically: http://youtu.be/Nm0T1jLCTz8?t=42s
    Currently, I use jpgs and a jpeg mask file for each image which I composite to get the alpha - then I scale them.
    PNGs may be better for GPU - (no compositing) but they make for a huge app file.
    Now I am converting it to use diffent sized assets depending on the device, then scaling them if need, and then compositing them for apha.  What I was hoping was to find a technique that could reduce the number of bitmapdata objects used and reduce the operations in general. 
    Any thoughts on optimizing would be appreciated.  I can add my code here if it helps.

  • How to use Multiple Single Option for selection in the Customer Exit

    Hi,
    How can we handle the multiple single values in the customer exit variable.
    I have a requirement which is as follows -
    Table A fiields -> Field Coach, Partner 2, Relation between PArtner 1 & Partner 2, Valid from, valid to date.
    Table B ->  Service Month, Start Date, End Date.
    Table C -> Billing Date, Execution Partner,cal month /year.
    For the Field coach in TABLE A, multiple Partner 2 are present.
    Report has to be built on Table C.
    User inputs the Service month and Field Coach . User can enter multiple field coach values.
    For the All the Field Coach values entered, corresponding Partner2's have to be found from Table A and to be passed to the Execution Partner in Table C.
    Now if we want to use customer exit variable on the field Execution Partner, how can we handle the Multiple Single selections in the customer exit.
    Thanks,
    Shubham

    Hi,
    While creating the variable you must have to specify multiple value.
    In customer exit
    write code multiple times and append the values.
    For example:
    when 'variable'.
    l_s_range - sign = 'I'.
    l_s_range - OPT = 'EQ.
    l_s_range - LOW = EXECUTION PARTNER 1.
    APPEND L_S_RANGE TO E_T_RANGE.
    l_s_range - sign = 'I'.
    l_s_range - OPT = 'EQ.
    l_s_range - LOW = EXECUTION PARTNER 2.
    APPEND L_S_RANGE TO E_T_RANGE.
    l_s_range - sign = 'I'.
    l_s_range - OPT = 'EQ.
    l_s_range - LOW = EXECUTION PARTNER 3.
    APPEND L_S_RANGE TO E_T_RANGE.

    Ranganath.

  • How to use a single page for create and update mode.

    Hi,
    I need to develop a single page to be used for both create and update modes.
    I am going to use a variable MODE
    and i will set this in the emp summary page.
    Based on the button clicked by the user i have to render the JSF page.
    For tis if the user selects a perticular and cliks on update thn i will pass the empno to the next.
    so there in the next i will appy a ViewCreiteria on my View Obj to fetch only that row so that only that emp will be displayed ion update mode.
    This is working fione for me.
    So now the issue is
    when the user clicks on CreatEmp button.
    i need to enable my VO for insert operations.
    for this i wrote the code like this in the beforePhase event
    FacesContext ctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    ValueBinding valBinding = ctx.getApplication().createValueBinding("#{data}");
    BindingContext bContext = (BindingContext) valBinding.getValue(ctx);
    DCDataControl dcControl = bContext.findDataControl("DataControl");
    Application app = ctx.getApplication();
    ApplicationModule am = (ApplicationModule) dcControl.getDataProvider();
    System.out.println("After Appmodule initiation");
    // get the VO reference and initiate the query
    System.out.println("Before Page VO initiation");
    PrismDmPageSectionViewImpl vo = (ViewImpl)am.findViewObject("View");
    //ViewRowImpl row = (ViewRowImpl) vo.createRow();
    /* TO CREATE AN EMPTY ROW*/
    Row row=vo.createRow();
    System.out.println("New Row is created");
    //vo.createKey(row);
    vo.insertRow(row);
    vo.setCurrentRow(row);
    By doing this a new empty page is rendered.
    But when i fill up the values and click on ok.. i am getting the error like this..
    JBO-27023: Failed to validate all rows in a transaction.
    JBO-27027: Missing mandatory attributes for a row with key null of type View3
    JBO-27014: Attribute Id in View3 is required
    JBO-27014: Attribute PageeId in View3 is required
    Please point me out where i am missing.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    In my opinion you are over complicating things.
    This is what I do for using the sme page as both create and update without all this code.
    1) Create a browse page containing a an adf table with a select one component bound to your view object.
    2) Create an additional edit page containing only an edit form containing fields of your view object that your users must enter in order to add or edit rows.
    3) Link the pages in the JSF diagram with an "edit" navigation case from browse to edit page and a "return" navigation case from edit to browse (make sure that redirect option is NOT set on both cases)
    4) Remove the submit button from the edit page and add two application module bindings for the commit and rollback operations as command buttons in the form footer facet. Make sure that both buttons has an action of return and that their disabled property is set to false. You will probably change their labels to ok and cancel respectively.
    5) Drop a create action for your view object from the data control palette inside your page as a command button and set the action property to edit also.
    3) Set the action property of the view button to edit
    This should basically work without any code from your part. -- at least it does so for me -- if you like to make it a bit more funcy you may add am action listener inside your buttons and set a requeScope variable for example #{requestScope.editing} to true or false depending on the button clicked. Then add a title to your page with a value like #{requestScope.editing == true ? 'Editing record' : 'Adding a new record'}..
    Hope that helps.
    Thanassis

  • Using a single connection for jsp, servlets and classes

    Hi! I'm building a web site that uses JSP, Servlets and some classes. I use database access in all my pages.
