Baz,
Ive been working on my website, working locally, using CFMX 7 server, MS SQL database and Facry 3.0.1. The website has now been completed and I wish to test it on a live server, which runs under CFMX 7 server and MS SQL same as my development setup, but uses IIS.
If you are looking to preserve data you've entered in the dev environment (html content, news content, etc) then of course you'd want to move the data up to the server. If you aren't looking to preserve any of this data, then it's faster to do a fresh install on the production server and just move over your project folder to activate everything (IMO). If you want to preserve the data (and move the DB over) you'll need to make sure that any differences between the environments are reflected correctly. Examples: - If the production server has the project folder in a different location you need to not only update config files, but also the config settings in FarCry (easy enough to do, just something you don't want to forget). - If you decide to rename the project folder (which you can) you need to remember to update config file and Application name (www/Application.cfm). You can pretty much change anything between the environments (dir locations, project name, OS, web, etc). In fact the only thing I can think of that will give you trouble (besides using different versions of FC on dev and prod) is going from one DB to another (like going from MSSQL to MySQL). It can be done, but the DB types will need to be updated (I haven't actually tried this, but in theory it shouldn't be too difficult). --- Jeff Coughlin Web Application Developer http://www.jeffcoughlin.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "farcry-dev" group.
