Yeah so I'm a moron... Talk about misreading an article {rolls
eyes}...
To *properly* answer your question, our dev environment is a Win
server with CF8 running on it (for our FC site) and another one with
CF7 (for everything else that's been done), our live server is
(currently) a Win box with CF7, our DB server is Win as well with
MSSQL, we have another Win box running our DNS and finally we have yet
another Win box that everyone here calls the backup server and it's
just a file server (non-displaying). Everything is inside the network
except for the live box.
The process that we use (which was put into place before I came
onboard) is setup a subdomain on the DNS server pointing to the dev
box, build the site with a database named "dbname_dev". When done,
test test test. Once approved by whoever's project it is, the site is
pushed to the live box by the IT Director, the DB is exported to a new
DB named "dbname_live" and a new DNS is created pointing to the new
site (normally beta2.domainname.com). Again test test test. Finally,
the DNS is changed to "www.domainname.com".
We all work locally and push our changes up to the file server via SVN
and then something is running that then pushes the changes to dev (not
sure what that is yet).
Anyways, I think that more accurately answers your question :)
