Ray, So the actual page data is WDDX'ed and then appended to the file? I have had a decent look at the installer.cfm and I get pretty much of all it. Does this file get generated on the fly as the user requests it?

I've not been following the thread, but if you want a general understanding of what is done at spectrasource: 1) All modifications/code updates are stored in the database. I.e., the actual source code. This even includes encrypted CFML. 2) User selects the type of update (Everything, or one mod). 3) I generate a script that has the deployment code + the payload. The payload is simply all the files appended to the end of the script. 4) User puts this file on their server. When they run the code, it simply checks their spectra/web root. It reads itself - ignores everything before a certain marker, and reads the payload as a WDDX packet after the marker. It decodes it, loops over all the files, and then just copies them over. Pretty simple actually, but it works well. It meant we didn't have to make .zips on the fly and installation was easier on the user. ======================================================================= Raymond Camden, ColdFusion Jedi Master for Macromedia Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo IM : morpheus "My ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is." - Yoda > -----Original Message----- > From: Robertson-Ravo, Neil (REC) > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, August 02, 2002 11:02 AM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: RE: Deployment software? > > > There is also the neat way Ray Camden did it for Spectra > using WDDX.... > maybe Ray can share his knowledge on how this was created etc > so we could > all leverage it! > > the Spectra Source updater is one file which once run will > install all the > new files in place. > > N > > -----Original Message----- > From: Alex [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 02 August 2002 16:05 > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Re: Deployment software? > > > rsync > > On Fri, 2 Aug 2002, Brian Fox wrote: > > > Any recommendations for a multi-server deployment program? > I'm loosing > > sleep on a new project I just finished that has multiple > revisions/fixes a > > week, a half dozen servers to mirror, and a client who > wants it mirrored > > after 10:00 PM. > > > > Thanks, > > Brian > > > > ______________________________________________________________________ Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
