I have a django project that runs on a Linux server, and I’ve been working on it both on Linux and OS X. I’ve noticed that some of the pages are a bit off, to put it politely, in Internet Explorer, and so I checked out the subversion repository on Windows and tried to run a local server.
My media directory has symbolic links to all of the media from each different app, and obviously Windows doesn’t know what to do with them. I could simply hard-copy or link everything manually in Windows, but then I wouldn’t be able to check that in (since the site runs on a Linux server), so it’d be a pain in the neck.
What is typically done in this case?
Instead, of running a server on Windows just to test for IE, you can run a server from on an IP that identifies your machine on your network. Just run
To find the (local) address of your machine, access your router logs to see who’s connected (I’m sure there’s a better way, but this worked for me).
