Right now, I just have a single server with the database, web server, etc. Is there any advantage to using Switchtower? I upgraded a Rails directory from one version to another and that was somewhat tedious - if Switchtower helps with that, it''s probably worth using (though I thought I read that future upgrades would be easier, or perhaps I need to use svn). thanks csn __________________________________ Yahoo!

ST will not help you during the next upgrade process. If you''re on 0.14 now, you can rest easy knowing that the next upgrade will be much easier as the current version keeps your customizations separate from the core code. As for ST, I use it in a single server environment and have found it quite useful and it''s great to know it will scale. Since my website will eventually have 1.5 million users a day (I got my fingers crossed! :), I will eventually need ST''s capabilities to deploy to an N box environment. HTH.

The most obvious benefit is that you can push your code changes to the production server and restart the lightie (or apache) with a single command, and rollback the change with a single command as well if something went wrong. //jarkko -- Jarkko Laine http://jlaine.net http://odesign.fi _______________________________________________ Rails mailing list Rails-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails
