Your dev box should only match in software versions (okay, and any
really funky specialized hardware like a hardware random number
generator MAYBE).
Don't ask them for a Gigaplex Mu-on 16-cpu 64 Gig RAM 4 Terabyte hard
drive box.
Take an old box out of your closet and install the same versions of
the OS, Webserver, DB, and PHP and call it done.
Now, a QA box, where you do load-testing and serious "release
candidate" testing, yeah, THAT should match the production box, if at
all possible...
Do you know of any (free as in money) disk imaging software that would
capture all the patches/configurations/etc. Actually, as I write this, I
remember the reason the imaging tool I used had mysterious failures was
probably due to bad memory, and I could use a different box now.
Thanks for the advice.
Regarding duplicating the box versus software:
I'm working on a C++ project on a Mac Pro and a MacBook Pro. Both have
Intel Core 2 Duo (but the Mac Pro states Xeon, while the MacBook Pro does
not detail that. The Mac Pro is 4 cores while the MacBook Pro is 2 cores).
Both use MinGW for Mac 3.4.5, the same mtapi
http://www.metaquotes.net/files/mtapi.zip and Wine 0.9.40. Same OS version
of course, and only 2GB RAM in both each.
I was able to compile on the Mac Pro, but when I tried on the MacBook Pro, I
receive undefined reference to _WinMain@16. I also saw that on the Mac Pro,
but I don't remember exactly what I did to resolve it. I used -shared on
the MacBook Pro, and I know I did not use that on the Mac Pro. But now I'm
getting

It was concept code from my memory and I'm going to have to make sure I
duplicate my steps, but other than the processor, I thought I had identical
environments.
I haven't had time to test the PHP environment you suggested.
