Hi, I am thinking about using DNN but I was so far unable to find any information on how to handle site releases with it. The scenario is that I do my development on a development server, and every now and then, when everything works as it should, I push the changes I made (new pages, changes to existing pages, things like that) to a production server. How would one go about doing this? Pretty much the only information on the topic I could find was Mitch Sellers' post and that basically said do not do it. I hope there is a way to do this, any ideas?

Jerry - please note that my previous post covers general stuff and doesn't go into details. I was just corrected (thank Sebastian) about dynamic changing content on your production environment (like forums, or registered users) which needs to be accounted for when pushing out to Production.. In my particular scenario, I never moved over users registered in dev to Prod so I could disregard changes to the particular tables upon doing a db diff...

So I basically have to go through DNN's tables and run a diff, and then manually take out everything that I do not want pushed to production? I see. Having to build deployment process from scratch every time I do a release is something I would like to avoid.

How would one go about SCM? Would I have to keep a complete copy of DNN's database for every change I make so i can put the diffs under SCM? How would I go about reverting changes?
