What would be cool is if CF Administrator had a plugin to various SCM's which lets you assign a SCM type, server, login, password, etc, and be able to manage deployments from there.

When I'm ready to deploy, I check in the files I want to deploy, and do an update on the production server. We use Subversion and TortoiseSVN. It's probably not a perfect solution, but it sure beats ftping files over. It's still a work in progress, and we're constantly looking for ways to improve it. If anyone has any suggestions, I would appreciate it.

I have a home-based Source Control Server. When developing , I check in and out of it. I cut and branch releases, etc. My structure looks like this /websites/domain/(www, database, private,etc)/files On my web server, I have sites which map their roots to an export of /websites/domain/.... Then I can sync them on staging. And once I'm ready, sync them on production. The syncing mechanism is all command-line based, so I wrapped that up in a CF app so I can deploy it via hitting some URLs' ... Only changed and new files are moved (and deleted ones are removed). In CVS parlance, I do a cvs update, etc... In perforce, it's a p4 sync on a given clientspec. Since I only have 2 prod servers, its not a big deal, but you're right that its not scalable should my server farm grow. This is for a personal/private website project, not work-related, and I'm the only developer, so I'm not too concerned at the moment about making it too much more complicated... -Dov -----Original Message----- From: Barney Boisvert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 02, 2005 1:31 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: CFEclipse and FTP (was: MM and CFEclipse) If you pull right from your source control system to your production webroot, make sure you're either doing an export (not a checkout), or you're masking your metadata directories in some fashion (i.e. with the web server). There's data in there that you don't want to be public. If you have to do it that way, I'd recommend the latter, as doing repeated exports just chews up bandwidth unnecessarily (since without the metadata, you can't do deltas). Much better (at least in my opinion) is to have your production systems directly mirror you staging system. That staging system keeps an up-to-date copy of the codebase from version control, and then uses some delta-aware transmission method (I like rsync) to keep all the production servers in sync with it, except for the metadata directories. It also absolves you of having to log into each production server to pull code updates, which is a huge pain if you've got more than a couple machines. Having a central point that you can push from is a lot easier. cheers, barneyb On 8/2/05, Katz, Dov B (IT) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Why not use source control with eclipse, as it normally integrates > (with p4, cvs, and others), and then when ready to deploy, do a sync > of your repository on the server? > > I've been doing this for a while (using Perforce as my SCM) and not > only does it guarantee only sending checked-in code to your servers, > but it also allows you to shut off your ftp server. > > I actually have a CF site which is set up to do a Sync/Update from my > source control, and I go there to pull new files. > > -dov > -- Barney Boisvert [EMAIL PROTECTED] 360.319.6145 http://www.barneyb.com/ Got Gmail?
