Your development, staging, and production sites will be on your development, staging, and production servers, respectively. Each of these servers is a different machine, so each one may (and most likely will) have different values for things like disk paths, URLs, etc, which is handled by each server's own version of Environment.cfm, each server's own mappings, etc. So you develop your Plum application on your development server, test it as best you can as the developer, then migrate it (either through copying or via source control, which is the preferred method) to your staging server where people who are not as close to the application as you are will test it outside of your "box," which will uncover problems you wouldn't normally think about. Once you're done with the staging-bug fix cycles and the QA crew who has been testing your site on the staging server gives it the OK, you migrate the application to your production server, which will also have its own Environment.cfm. If your production server is in a shared hosting environment, you will want to test on each server using a copy of the application that has been run through CF_2CFMODULE. I hope this helps.
