Deployment tool for LAMP

Question

Are there any good deployment tools that can be used with LAMP and Subversion?

Ideally it would handle both code updates and database migrations.

Answer 1

Capistrano.

Although if you are using php you won't get the benefit of db migrations. It's still nice for deploying.

Answer 2

Capistrano is a Ruby based application, but it works with any programming language.

I use it with PHP on the LAMP stack. For PHP Symfony users sfPropelMigrationsLightPlugin is a great plugin to handle db migrations.

Answer 3

you could also use something like Phing which is like make or Ant for PHP
