Re: Development Server Installation Scenario
Since moving images to the Amazon cloud will take significant reprogramming, I think I want to go ahead with my proposal if it seems like a good one. In that regard, is there anything in particular I should be aware of in terms of potential problems and pitfalls as outlined? Many thanks. I'd consider moving the 90% - 270GB (images) to amazon S3.

Re: Development Server Installation Scenario
I would incorporate source control in there somehow. Maybe leave the images be served from your dev server and let the devs run the code local via SVN. -- Greg On Tue, Jun 8, 2010 at 12:12 PM, Richard Steele r...@photoeye.com wrote: Since moving images to the Amazon cloud will take significant reprogramming, I think I want to go ahead with my proposal if it seems like a good one.

Our production server has over 300 gb of files (90% images and 10% code). We'd like to a setup a development server that includes all of those files and thus are considering the following... 1. Have our isp copy our production server's wwwroot/sites folder with its 300 gb of files to an external hard drive and have that drive shipped to us. 2. Create an XP box locally and install CF8 developer on it as our development server. 3. Copy the contents of that hard drive to the local server's sites folder. 4. Create a CF datasource that connects remotely to a duplicate of our production SQL Server database that is on a dedication SQL Server at our isp. 5. Have our developers install CF8 developer and CFBuilder on their local computers (outside of our offices). 6. Use CFBuilder RDS to access our development server. 7. Sync changes to the production server (new image files, etc. ) so that they are automatically updated on the local server. 8. After testing, have the developers connect to the production server and upload their new or changed files to it. This also gives us a nice safety backup of our production server's critical files. Does this sound like a good, realistic plan? What method would we use to refresh the development server's files with new or changed files from the production server on a daily basis?

Re: Development Server Installation Scenario
Yes, that sounds like an interesting solution. I'll explore that. I probably overstated the amount of code, it's probably more like 1 gig or less. I'd consider moving the 90% - 270GB (images) to amazon S3.
