Some things I can never seem to commit to memory:
MySQL login
The most efficient way to log into MySQL from the command line:
mysql -h abc.matthom.com -p -u username dbname
(I always forget the order of where the -h, -p, and -u go.)
Localhost and root directory
Developing sites locally saves loads of time, since there is no uploading involved.
For Windows and Mac, the URI to the localhost is different, as well as the directory where the web files are stored:
Mac:
- URI:
http://127.0.0.1/~Username/ - Directory:
//Username’s Mac/Users/Username/Sites/
Windows:
- URI:
http://localhost/ - Directory:
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot
