My aim is not to reinvent things but to stick to the conventions as far as possible. As I become aware of better ways of implementation I would like to add that again. So if you know a better way of doing it, please communicate with me. I would gladly update, include, and change whatever is needed.

It is important to debug something if you had built something that did not work. Possibly you need to run a local sandbox environment. Ubuntu is my local sandbox on which I have PHP, Joomla, and MySQL installed. [00:04:38](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9evJkBTnKxE&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h04m38s) If I have to open a browser, [00:05:04](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9evJkBTnKxE&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h05m04s) I have a few sites here. This is just my own little script that I've dumped into my own server. [00:05:27](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9evJkBTnKxE&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h05m27s) Now I go to Builder.VDM. [00:05:43](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9evJkBTnKxE&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h05m43s) It is loading some of the test displays that I'm working on. If I add administrator to that, it will open the back end, and I can login. So I'm running in a sandbox environment. The advantage of it is that if you don't have any internet involvement, you can work offline as well as add things like XD bug and other script which will help you debug your application. [00:06:07](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9evJkBTnKxE&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h06m07s) We are doing that in off-site environment. It is time consuming, difficult, and expensive. [00:06:26](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9evJkBTnKxE&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h06m26s) It's much easier doing it offline; again, if you don't know how to do that, please visit Lynda.com and look at a course called "Up and Running with Linux for PHP Developers with Jon Peck." [00:06:59](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9evJkBTnKxE&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h06m59s) It is an excellent course to get your own local developing environment setup. I've watched it long ago [00:07:24](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9evJkBTnKxE&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h07m24s) and it's been very helpful to get my initial sandbox setup. With time you'd get better and find better ways, but this is a good place to start. [00:07:44](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9evJkBTnKxE&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h07m44s)
