Use separate instances, which is the whole point of their existance. You have a production instance that you never screw with and a development instance that you can do whatever with. Since each instance has it's own settings, you can set the paths up to point wherever. When your code is perfect, copy it to the live webroot. I'm not going to go into why this (hosting dev and prod on one box) is a horrible idea, but using separate instance will at least provide rudimentary security to protect your apps from one another.
Highly recommend leveraging multiple instances, particularly in a dev environment, since it doesn't cost a dime. For example, I have 5 instances on my dev server at all times: cf6 production branch, cf7 production branch, cf6 working directory, cf7 working directory, and another general instance that I use for "other" stuff. I've currently got several more instance for playing with stuff, but those 5 are pretty much always there. And yes, I deploy to Standard Edition. Enterprise brings little to the table for the app I'm primarily in charge of. Gateways would be nice, but are not worth the cost, at least right now. So just becuase you use Standard in production doesn't mean you can't use Enterprise in development. And it's also worth mentioning that your two instances can certainly be a Standard edition (licensed - production) and an Enterprise edition (developer edition - development) instance. cheers, barneyb On 11/27/05, Andrew Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Why do you have a production and development on the same machine to begin > with? > > In development you might need to restart your machine, or you could hang > jrun with a malformed written query, and it will bring down production at > the same time, this is a very bad setup you have. > > > Regards, > Andrew Scott > -- Barney Boisvert [EMAIL PROTECTED] 360.319.6145 http://www.barneyb.com/ Got Gmail?
