Hi, I take a somewhat more extreme approach for my development. Every major project I have runs in it's own Virtual Machine. The VM contains both a MySQL Server, Apache, Tomcat and OpenBD.
I then use ssh to mount the web root of the VM into the local file system. When I use cfeclipse I am effectivly developing on the "remote server". Source code changes are saved to the subversion repositories which runs localy on the host. Need a new server, no worries copy the VM and I am good to go. Doing this gives me the power of snapshots when doing major changes to the server. It also makes life easy for other team members that want to play with the application but do not want to go through the hassle of configuring a complete environment. Also for somewhat smaller project I can just deploy the entire VM to one of our production VM servers, and the thing just runs (static ips with dhcp is your friend here). just my .02 worth. cheers marcel --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Open BlueDragon Public Mailing List http://groups.google.com/group/openbd?hl=en official site @ http://www.openbluedragon.org/ !! save a network - trim replies before posting !! -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
