Managing Configuration
-
We are having problems correctly managing our configuration files across multiple servers and environments. Currently we either save a separate copies of the configuration files for each environment or comment out values for other environments and add the new environments values beneath. There has to be a better way!!! Does anyone know of an application that will manage these configuration files? Something that preferably will also version control the configuration files?

We use sourcecontrol for the different config files. We maintain a version for each environment, e.g DEV, UAT, TEST, PROD, and as part of our automated deployment process, we pick up the appropriate config file. It's relatively easy to do as long as you can script your particular source control system.
