So i just migrated to Site ground, and wanted to use my space over at ASO for offsite dev since its paid up for awhile, Unfortunately I cant access the files without a DNS it seems.....???????
Other than this article, If anyone smarter than me could chime in as to if this makes sense, I am not new to the hosts file, but from what I read It is unlikely to work? Or am I completely wrong??
and if it where to work Tech support was useless as to the values I would enter Step 8 and 10....

Maybe not the 'tech support' that is not working well but the understanding and Tony said about running a separate DNS entry for your CS Cart installation such as 'dev.jamayla.asoshared.com but ideally you should have your own TLD .com such as 'yourco.com' (Example only).
Then have:
dev.yourco.com (Development test ground)
staging.yourco.com (Pre Deployment Platform, not applicable for most people, more like a pre-stable)
www.yourco.com (Live)
Note: replacing yourco.com with your chosen domain name and extension.
If you need a consultant to help with your configuration you can drop me a line :)
Tony, Mark, thank you for your precise answers, and continuing to make these forums relevant ;)
I accessed my data , got what I needed and have decided to try to Dev locally like I did in the old days,
Have installed Xampp on a test machine (Win 10 64 New install) and all was well with a fresh install of 4.2.4 , but my main
office computer ( This is where I actually want my Dev Server) wont have it........ and I would like to know how to Troubleshoot
the (Fresh) install as I am getting no errors, ..the install bar gets
just a little past setting up stores then just disappears, ( Why no errors?) and nothing......i can hit install all day long and it keeps
doing the same thing...I thought it might be a port conflict with VM ware so I uninstalled that, but still no go.....
Sorry I didn't start a new post in the correct area, If I cant figure this quick I will do so....
You would be better off to set up Virtualbox on your main office system if you designate it as your 'local dev sever'. Download CentOS and setup a Linux environment. Windows is not ideally supported and will lead you to further issues down the line.
Agree. cs-cart isn't really supported on Windoz servers and you'll just have headaches in trying to develop/diagnose/debug on anything other than Linux.
