Does anyone use Phing to deploy PHP applications, and if so how do you use it? We currently have a hand-written "setup" script that we run whenever we deploy a new instance of our project. We just checkout from SVN and run it. It sets some basic configuration variables, installs or reloads the database, and generates a v-host for the sit...
We currently use a hand-rolled setup and configuration script and a hand-rolled continuous integration script to build and deploy our application. I am looking at formalizing this somewhat with a third party system designed for these purposes. I have looked into Phing before, and I get that it's basically like Ant. But, my Ant experienc...

I would like to do remote deployment from my build machine onto a server. The remoting can be done via ssh commands from a script, but I would rather use phing and a deploy.xml file that would do the automation.

I'm trying to generate my models from a schema.xml file on OSX 10.5 with the latest versions of PHP & Propel 1.3 & Phing. All the model classes actually get created, then it just dies, right at the last step. I have already tried chmod -R 777 ./application/config but that didn't help. I have also tried both propel-gen ./ reve...
After reading the "Modern PHP workflow" article in the November 2008 edition of php|architect magazine which discussed unit testing (phpUnit), build tools (Phing) and continuous integration (Xinc), I'm inspired the learn more about some of the tooling available for PHP, especially Phing. In the past I've often handled deployment to a p...

Hi! I'm using Phing to push a wordpress installation to my production server. Is it possible to define the wp-config properties inside my build file, and then have phing replace the wp-config contents to use those variables?

This is what I propose doing and I think that maybe im missing something or doing too many steps! Most of my work is with Joomla and oscommerce. My directory structure is as follows -Clients ...
I am still looking into which one of these tools I should use.

Does anyone know if its possible to use phing to copy an entire folder with files and sub folders (joomla core download) to another folder, but without the .svn folders. I have downloaded joomla using SVN, and I want to export it to my joomla dev folder using phing, without the need to have to list every single file type. My plan is to ...

I have a dev server with several virtual hosts on it. Each one needs to be able to run the command: propel-gen ./ creole That script executes some php that reverse-engineers the database... BUT the php it executes needs to be included to do so. There is no include_path set in the php.ini because it would be global to all virtual hosts...
