Hello,

been studying the SMF Classifieds, looks very good so far!

I wonder, I want to set up a new forum with the classifieds. when I run SMF forums, I always run a secondary
test" forum that is not public,  that mimics the public forum - I do this so I can test SMF Mods on the test forum first. I always keep these "test" and "public" forums identical in setup - a common concept to forum developers.

Can I have two instances of SMF Classifieds installed on one domain IF the second install is for testing purposes?

Thanks

Yes a private development site is fine by me.

SWEET!!! Thanks! I am getting a domain and hosting setup, and will order when I have a domain to enter on your order site....

Mind a question off topic to this thread? I am thinking of hosting with GODADDY.com, and ordering the domain through them. They offer LINUX and WINDOWS server options, and I do not know which option to pick, or if they support the GD and FOPENSOCK items required.

I have them on the phone now, and they say the LINUX server list FOPENSOCK and a GD app, or something of the sort....

Previous to this I've used MonteCarloHosting.com - and they are good at supporting SMF, and it's modules, and ensured me I meet your SMF Classifieds requirements, But, there plan is very limited to GODADDY.

Can you say if GODADDY LINUX will work with SMF Classifieds, I'd appreciate the help as I 'd like to order now.

Thanks for all your help!

Godaddy is good for domains.
Hosting not too sure on what they offer. I know there free hosting does not work well with SMF, paid should work ok.  If their php supports GD and fsockopen commands then the classifieds should work fine.

Thanks! I know that question I asked was outside the normal question for SMF Classifieds, so I appreciate you extra effort. Feel free to remove these server related questions if you like!

I had GoDaddy and I had many problems with them on my hosting so I switched to Hostgator and haven't had any problems what so ever. Hope that helps

Thanks very much! Good info.

I should say, montecarlohosting.com has been very good to me on another site, they just are limited by bandwidth and diskspace for the price. But, then again, GoDADDY may be offering the world in those regards, but I have no idea if they are good as a host in general.

Perhaps SMFHacks will split this out t a new "server" topic.. might be a useful thread!

Help Support the SMFHacks.com mod making.
