What is the server software and the OS you use to test your server-side scripts offline?
I use Debian GNU/Linux with Apache 2 with PHP 4 and MySQL. It's a very typical setup in most web hosts.
So what is your offline server setup?

I use phpdev, a program that installs apache on my computer. I test everythin offline since I am already too clumsy and don't want my members to notice all my "successes"

Hehe, i was never too bright with the whole offline server stuff. Tried to use various things awhile back, caused me more trouble than it saved me. Since i like working on boards via the internet more, i just set up a dev site that is closely related to my main site and then work off of it. Usually when i make changes, i make them in large chunks so for me, thats the best way to go. Makes it easier to have more "testers" too.

I have just replaced my venerable PII 400 MHz test server with a new 2.8 GHz beast.  I use it to develop alpha versions for any coding that I do. I have a 3 stage approach to releasing new code... alpha is done using my home server, where nobody but me can see it. Beta is done using an alternate script path on my server, and a separate copy of the database. Final production is done using the production database and script path. I have a shell script that I run to copy everything appropriate from beta to production when it's time to release new code.
My home server is running Mandriva 10.1 (used to be Mandrake), Apache, MySQL 4 and PosgreSQL both, and php 4.

| I've made a separate folder on-line with a copy of phpBB, which accesses the same database. I use that to develop my scripts and install mods, and when it works, I copy the changed files to the live folder. |
