Did some fun things with tech today... and had some frustrations.
The website that was supposed to "go live" today didn't. Works fine in dev server and on "live mode" with a different sub-domain... but will not load the css files when the actual final deployed domain name is switched on.
I am not the programmer, but the sysadmin.
Tested the "live" configuration with a different domain name and that works fine.
Due to testing, I think the PHP code logic that considers the domain name has a show stopping bug in it.
Programmer put some logic that changes how the website works based on what the domain name is. Being clever for different "dev" modes... but I wouldn't have done that. I would have had the result be the same, no matter what the domain name so it is predictable.
I documented my testing and emailed the programmer.
We'll see if my hunch as to the cause was right.
