Hey all,
I've rewritten a (small) website I run from Cold Fusion to PHP, at least on my development server. I'm now wondering the best way to do the switchover on production - Here's the basic procedure I'm considering (in addition to doing it after my normal user base would be in bed
):
1) Copy php files (plus a stylesheet and a .js file I modified to work better with PHP) to existing website directory. No changes to site directory structure have been made.
2) Modify existing CF templates to redirect to appropriate PHP page. Meaning - say I have a template called "blah.cfm" - I would back this page up, then replace the content with a CF redirect to "blah.php". This, I hope, would anticipate situations where users had bookmarked a particular page...
3) Backup all other CF-related resources, then remove them from the directory. Eventually I would remove the remaining CF redirects as well, say after 3-6 months.
I assume there's at least a few of you out there who have done something like this, so I was just wanting to know if there's anything else I need to consider (my production ISP is Infoquest, BTW. I do the PHP development on my own machine - using Quanta 3.3 on a Linux box running Slackware 10.)
Thanks in advance
