Indeed. Production is boring (or at least it should be). You get a working setup from development and you don't touch it. It just runs. And if it doesn't, you go back to development, reproduce the issue, fix it, run a patch or configuration change through Test and QA and when it is good you run the deployment script again on production or swap the EAR files if that is your thing. > Of course, if we're all on about the workstation I develop on before > it goes to Dev/Staging/whatever then fair enough, it is night and day. I run 4 webservers (1 IIS, 3 Apache) and 11 websites on 4 IP addresses on my laptop. I currently have 7 CF instances and 4 different versions of CF in EAR/WAR format so that I can swap any instance to any CF version with Ant while my own CFML source stays in place. My development workstation is far more complicated then any production I have ever seen.
