Sounds like you need a 'real test' or development server ALSO. I use to recommend production, staging, and a development or test server for each group doing testing or development.
Production was just that. Developers were not allowed to log in with other than standard user permissions. Staging was often 'recovered' from a backup of the production so developers could install their 'new and improved' there so it could be tested by others before being deemed production worthy. But that was in the dark days when I got a paycheck. That has been several years ago now. I can say the system works, even if it is more overhead. Other ways of dealing with upgrading software and systems may work, but this method worked well for me. It also kept developers from doing 'just one little thing that won't change anything' on the production servers. And yes, I even imposed it on myself, after having brought down servers inadvertently several times over years, that was a good thing too. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NLUG" group.
