Matt, You've got the idea. Each developer shoudl be using the developer edition of CF. They usually connect to the central database server through their own CF copy.
Working with multiple sites is more of a pain. With IIS, a developer would have to point their home folder to a different dev files working copy folder, or set your various sites as subfolders and make sure the coding is clean enough to allow things like http://localhost/dopefly.com/. A great alternative is to use apache as the development web server, and set up multiple virtual sites, then you can screw with your hosts file so dev.dopefly.com could point to a site running on my localhost. If you still like the 'central dev server' thing, which, btw, can impose licensing issues, then the way to go is give each developer a folder, like their own personal sandbox, then again mess with their host files or your internal DNS server so everything is easy for them. This way isn't as cool or safe because if one guy tries to run a risky recursion or a select * from * type query, everybody's hosed. In any event, your old dev site then becomes your staging server (cool, eh?), good for testing and safely pushing controlled code to your production server. -nathan strutz On 4/27/06, Matt Williams <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I'm looking to join the Real World and start using version control > software. > From what I've heard, SubVersion is as good as any.
