I think someone else said the same, but i really think you should consider a version system like git. A real configuration system like cfengine could also work, but might be a bit overkill for this situation. The cleanest would be if the apps run under a dedicated user account, so that you can clear everything without worrying about losing stuff. When this is setup, all you have to do is create the necessary configurations and add (and tag) those to your repository. Then, for every new production, clear the homedir, checkout the right config-set and do your thing. If necessary, you could do this on an application-by-application base, though that could get messy soon... Hope that helps. Mvg, Guus
