How do I Create a Movable Type 5 Development Environment?

I want to create a development environment running Movable Type 5.
To create a separate development environment, it is necessary to copy and paste to reflect production.
How would I go about building a good environment?

Solution

  • By saying that you need a development environment for Movable Type, what exactly do you need to develop? If you are developing a plugin? or theme? a website? content?

    It is possible to assign a different mt-config.cgi file to each virtual server, and working on different database, for the same installation. If you are developing a plugin, you will want to use the PluginSwitch directive so the developed plugin won't be loaded on the real website.
