使用Apache ANT部署Web应用程序？

Question

I was just able to get Apache ANT running on my computer. The ant -version commando outputs the version number , verifying that the installation went well.

I have read that ANT is well suited to handle deployment of web applications including PHP projects and have spent some time to get it working, but I just can't get my head around how to set it up to sync my files to my web server.

How can I make ANT sync folderA with folderB ?

Thanks

Last time I checked (long ago) there was no remote sync task in Ant (only local ). You would have to write a shell script that calls rsync and execute this from Ant instead. There is a number of remote tasks though. And you could check out your code from your VCS instead of syncing it to the server.

On a sidenote, you might want to consider Phing over Ant. It's a port of Ant to PHP. It has a FileSync Task . You can also add your own Tasks (written in PHP) and is commonly used in Continuous Integration servers for PHP.

Also see What is your preferred Deployment Strategy for PHP and a couple others .

我本来想做同样的事情，刚刚看到这篇关于如何使用ant进行部署的文章，也许它会给你一个不同的方式来实现它： 使用Ant进行部署
