RPM

Hello All,

Does any body create installable RPM's for reinstalling their PHP based
websites? Is it possible....????

If yes could you please share your experience. Oh yes you could tar it but
that's a primitive method.

My quest is to make all my websites installable on any given server using 2
or 3 commands to the maximum.

thanks

tar zxvf mywebsite.tar.gz

That is about as few as I can think of... :]

Or are you looking for something that will modify the httpd.conf file
for you, add your database automatically, and alter the bind, etc... ?

Hi,

At the moment I've taken over a group of individual systems that all do their job well enough independently, but all need to talk to one another. For example, one system handles stock levels, one system handles sales leads, another handles special offers, etc. etc.

A complete rewrite is in order but as a step towards that, I'd like each part to be able to communicate and keep the other systems aware of their own status. eg. the special offers system needs to know whether there is stock of a particular product.

Each system is running on a separate server and I need that level of separation to continue, what would be the best way of setting this up? I had used SOAP a while back on other projects but would this be the best solution in this case? Is there something better suited?

To give a rough estimate of the data, the special offers system will onlyhold roughly about 100 offers and be changed every month or so, the sales leads are only catching incoming website form enquiries (maybe about 50 aday) and the stock levels can change maybe once or twice a day but only normally by either a mass import or removing a sold product.

Thanks for any help / advice!

I'd use a VCS like Subversion for websites, and just do a checkout on
the server.

Easier to update and maintain than RPMs IMO, but YMMV.



For software development projects, I'd personally opt for git, but for
websites, SVN is IMO a better choice. But everyone has their own tastes.
