Hi Dave. thanks for responding.. No development would be on a local server. a "preview" site would be on a live server - which is the same server as our current site.
My understanding the one of the benefits of multi instance is that I can have a totally fresh CF8 instance with out any of the settings, db's or mappings that may have been created previously. I want separate to avoid any problems. Is that a BAD idea? Should we just develop on the existing server and create any new mappings, db's as necessary (it's quite cluttered as it currently stands, multiple db's - Access, MySQL, MSSQL) On Wed, Feb 4, 2009 at 1:19 PM, Dave Watts <[email protected]> wrote: > > > On another point, yet related.
