Are there any tools for automatically moving from testing to production servers?

Are there any tools for automatically moving code from testing to (stage and then to) production?

We are running on a LAMP stack and don't want to rely on FTP access?

Other than that, is there some BASH or PERL script out there for this same process?

Our production servers cannot run SVN or HG which we use for developme开发者_C百科nt.

Check out PHING. It's very flexible and you can extend it with raw php code if you need to... It does (and can do) a whole lot more than just moving things around (including testing, building, documenting, etc)...

As for the file-transfering bit, you can connect to the remote server using a bunch of built in methods (including but not limited to FTP, SCP, SFTP, RSYNC, and more)...

You could SVN checkout the production copy onto the production server and use http?

Check out Capistrano it might be what you need, simple and doing job as you would expected.

We use RepliWeb, it's somewhat pricy, but extremely flexible, offers rollback capability, notifications, task execution, scheduled moves, and so forth.

webistrano for a pretty UI for managing capistrano
