Running a website from an encrypted partition

I am looking at the possibility of running a PHP-based website (built in symfony) from an encrypted partition on a LAMP server. The reason for this is because a client would have access to the server but I don't want them to see the source code behind the php website. I am open to other solutions if this is not possible. For example, p...

How do you manage your Virtual Machines for isolated development?

I'm trying to establish a best practice for Virtual Machines for developers. Currently we work on Windows 7 with Visual Studio 2008. However, we need to experiment with VS2010 and to do this we create Win7 VM's and load what we want in there. My technique is to create a new VM, in this case a Win7 VM, and once it's gone through all it's...

Some theory: VirtualHosts on the guest OS

The guest OS has the IP 192.186.56.101 and some virtual hosts, e.g. ubuntu.server So, how to really map a request to the virtual host ubuntu.server on the guest OS? I tried: Configure the host OS in /etc/hosts to map ubuntu.server to 192.186.56....
