porting to HPUX

[dawtcalm]

If I decide to develop a Coldfusion site on a NT machine, test it on a Linux box (running the server of course), would I have problems then porting to a HPUX machine when I'm done and ready to put the site into service?

Is there any differences between coding for linux and HPUX? This would greatly increase my productivity if we can simply test on a linux box then simply at the end publish on the HPUX server.

If you've had experience with this and have any tips it would be greatly appreciated. thx in advance.

Hmmmm... would you have problems? Theoretically no.
But I certainly wouldn't feel comfortable pushing a site live that wasn't Q/A'd on a similar environment as the production server.

I'd have more reservations about you testing on NT and expecting everything to work on unix

Still... I'd probably set up a separate instance of your webserver on the production box (or maybe just open up a different port pointing to a different root directory) and test everything there for at least a couple days before moving it to production.
