[opencms-dev] Am I on the right track?

[Mark Phillips]

Christian,

Thanks for the information. I thought I would add the apache proxy stuff 
later.

My overall goal is to do an "end to end" test of creating a web site with 
OpenCms. So, after the test site is done, I need to be able to move it from 
my development server to a production server. That was part of my motivation 
for asking the question about the "right way to build a web site".

I have been doing some more reading, and I think I have to start with a module 
so I can export the module to another instance of OpenCms. Is this correct if 
I want to move the site to another server? Do I have to somehow copy the 
templateOne to another module? I don't want to change the current templateOne 
demo pages, just create my own site using it.

At this point, I am staring to confuse myself!

Thanks for any thoughts you might have.

Mark
