Jay, Yeah the second option is pretty much the way to go. I have found though that the "not working on a server" is not really an issue.
Here is what we do: Dev server contains the MySQL and MsSQL dev database along with the repositories Developers have local copies of ColdFusion and check out to their local machines. When they are done they check in the code and our QA person, who has a local copy as well just does an update to do testing. >From there we then export a copy to staging in which it is tested again to make sure any server nuance are there. Once it is certified we then tag it in the SVN repository and then run a script to deploy it to our web cluster. J.J.
