[opencms-dev] short tip for developmnent (avoid manual switching of site root)

[Christian Steinert]

Hi,

I don't know if you have this problem, but if you develop a module and 
also want to test your website with it, you often have to:
- switch the site root in opencms explorer to /  and go to the modules 
folder to edit something
- switch back to /sites/default and check what it looks like

Well - you don't really have to. You can use the server name to connect 
to opencms (e.g. localhost:8080/opencms/opencms) and a different name or 
the ip address (e.g. 127.0.0.1/opencms/openems)  for connecting if you 
want to preview something. Like this you can be logged in twice with 
just 1 browser. (In addition to that I use a simple frontend login for 
viewing the site, so that I see the offline content without having to go 
into the workplace to be able to check how the site is affected by my 
changed JSPs).

maybe that's helpful for someone
