I've added a cron job to update the alpha site nightly at 5:50 am PST. One
problem is the index.php; for now, I have a backup copy that I overwrite
the version coming out of CVS with (to preserve the database info).
This means if there are important changes to index.php it will have to be
corrected by hand.
The good thing about this is it's a sort of nightly test. It would be
better if the alpha site were wiped and installed from scratch every
night, but that would be quite a trick. I could write ex scripts to make
the edits to index.php as needed, but then when the file changes it might
break the script. There's probably a way around this.
The mysql install was a little trickier than in the past; the definition
of the database name should be closer to the other database info, b/c at
first I thought there just wasn't a field for it.
Also, from the point where I installed it (nice install page Jeff!) there
were Incoming and Outgoing links with numbers and I don't know where they
came from, nor do they seem to be updating. At least, the numbers on
MostPopular don't match. They definitely don't match the current site, so
there can't be some database mixup.
