Hi, <div><br></div><div> What u are asking often boils down to deployment strategies for all the instances you might have for your project, there are many solutions around that as you said drupal stores configurations in the database rather than setting files and usually moving one feature across instances require database updates. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Some of the solutions are:</div><div><br></div><div>1> Features module - <a href="http://drupal.org/project/features">drupal.org/project/features</a> -- <a href="http://www.drupaldojo.com/session/distributed-feature-servers">http://www.drupaldojo.com/session/distributed-feature-servers</a> Most recent video on features and then u can search for lot of other documentation present. </div>
<div><br></div><div>2> Deploy module - <a href="http://drupal.org/project/deploy">drupal.org/project/deploy</a> -- I haven't tried this tough. </div><div><br></div><div>3> Demo module - <a href="http://drupal.org/project/demo">http://drupal.org/project/demo</a> </div>
<div><br></div><div>4> Custom deployment scripts like using migraine -- <a href="http://www.archive.org/details/migraine_dcamp_pune_09">http://www.archive.org/details/migraine_dcamp_pune_09</a> this was discussed in drupalcamp pune </div>
<div><br></div><div>I hope I got your question right and would be interested to hear what others use.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks</div><div>----------------------------------<br>Dipen Chaudhary<br>Founder, QED42 : We build beautiful and scalable web strategies ( <a href="http://www.qed42.com">www.qed42.com</a> )<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">HI,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have one doubt regarding the implementation of drupal 6 web application</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As most of the configuration are done in the blocks or node itself that is store in the database</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So how to handle these kind of scenarios when you have multiple servers</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> like production development and testing server.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Do the application needs to centered around some framework again depending upon usage</p>
