Hi,
my current approach to releasing my web app is to create a new directory for each new release, with a link pointing to the 'current' release version so that Apache (Hypnotoad sits behind an Apache proxy) can serve static files via that link. This approach allows me to roll-back to a previous release if needed.
My issue is that I have to completely stop Hypnotoad before restarting because just running hypnotoad
myapp.pl in the new release's directory actually restarts the old release.
Am I missing something here? What is the recommended release methodology in this case?
Thanks,
Allan
