What do people do to minimize downtime when upgrading/maintaining a live site ?
Ideally the steps should be: 1. install the new version into a separate app directory and database. 2. somehow test the installation is working 3. switch over from the old app directory and DB, to the new app directory and new DB. For this process to work, you need a way for existing users to continue seeing the old site, while you see the new site for final setup. Alternatively, a less ideal method is: 1. set site to "down for maintenance" 2. upload and replace your app directory 3. test to make sure it's working 4. put site back online. This process also requires that users continue to see the "down for maintenance" page, while you see the new site for final setup. How have you approached this problem? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
