Since all of my projects lately have been offsite, I've moved to having everything stored locally for development. I got a shinny new laptop to support this (it helped that my older t21 died).
Anyway, I run CF 6, 7, and 8 installed as multi-server. The each have their own windows service. I run apache on this machine as well, and it's really very easy to define which JRun install to point to as part of the the VirtualHost config. Combine that with named hosts (eg test.something.com) defined in apache, and also defined in the hosts file, and everthing can be run through port 80. Locally, I use MySQL 4.x for my DB needs, however the power of a good virtual machine comes in handy here. I've got an Ubuntu VMware image that handles my MySQL 5 requests. The reason here is that my hosted sites are running on Linux. When running MySQL in linux, the table names become case sensitive. If you install FarCry on a local windows Dev environment, bad things happen if you try to move the database through an export/import. I've also got a download of Oracle Personal ready to be installed on a Windows 2000 VMware image as well as SQL Server 2000. SQL Server won't install on anything but a server OS, hence I required this server image. I think (but have yet to try) that 2005 (or at least the express version) can be installed on a non-server OS. I've also moved to SVN for maintaining all of my local projects. The next step is to start jumping into CFCunit and Selenium for testing. Then using ANT to push changes from SVN to production.
