I am actually working on a tool to do this currently. Still a long way from finishing. The first version probably will not integrate with any Version Control Software but will have the ability to add you own support for that. I will then start working on plug-ins for VSS and RCS and CVS. It will support multi tier and server environments. Dev/Test/Prod. It will also check dependencies and have some controls around how interrelated code can be migrated. This is a side project so I have no time frame for this currently. If you have ideas suggestion feel free to drop me a line.

RE: application.cfm We run into this issue too. One method we use is to look at cgi.server_name. Depending on ths var, you can decide what to set your datasource name or whatever else is server dependent. This way your application.cfm file can be 'universal' Doug >-----Original Message----- >From: Kevin Graeme [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] >Sent: Wednesday, December 04, 2002 2:13 PM >To: CF-Server >Subject: RE: dev -> test -> production tool? > > >Our servers are mostly a mix of Linux and Win2K.
