I have three servers: one live web server, one development web server and one completely seperate CVS server. Both web servers carry the same Apache/PHP/MySQL setup. At a work station (Windows for me) I checkout whatever (PHP, INC, HTML) from the CVS server to my local drive. I then edit it in Ultraedit and save it via FTP to the development server. Then I work, work, work, crashing, banging, fixing with my browser pointing at the development server. Edits complete, I then "save as" to the local file name, do a CVS commit and call it done. Every so often, I will CVS Update the latest changes from the CVS repository directly into the live web server and evaluate the web site. If things bomb, I will obtain a previous tagged-as-stable version of the whole site (HTML,PHP,graphics) into the web directory and continue working towards the next stable release. If the development release works just fine, I will tag the whole CVS repository with a new release description. CVS is proving quite effective at managing this stuff. ************************************** John Huggins VANet 7101 Oriole Avenue Springfield, VA 22150 703-912-6453 703-912-4831 fax [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.va.net/ ************************************** -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
