Matthew Weier O'Phinney: Deployment with Zend Server (Part 1 of 8)

Matthew Weier O'Phinney has posted the first part of an eight part series he's writing about deploying applications with Zend Server. Zend Server is a product of Zend that provides an integrated platform for PHP-based applications, a self-contained environment making things easier to manage and enhance performance.

I manage a number of websites running on Zend Server, Zend's PHP application platform. I've started accumulating a number of patterns and tricks that make the deployments more successful, and which also allow me to do more advanced things such as setting up recurring jobs for the application, clearing page caches, and more.

His examples can be used with any of the Zend Server versions available, including the Development Edition that can be used for trial purposes. The remainder of the post is his first tip: using the zf-deploy tool to make deployment of your application simpler. He includes an example of a script he uses for the deployment (written in PHP) to ensure the environment is set up correctly.
