Where i begin to work, they are using a Remote Desktop Conection, to transfer files and manage the server, but that seems to me really insecure and a good way to cause errors and take down the apache/php/mysql stack.

I was proposing FTP to transfer files more easyly (and secure compared to the other way) but started reading about php deployment. It seems pretty easy on Linux, but on windows i havent found out wich is the best way to do it..

So far i think git on the server, and comit to it from the developer is my best shot, but what about database deployment?

Phing/jenkins/capistrano seem overly complex.. but will try if you guys think is good

    The approach I am using is database migration scripts. They look like this

    db-update-001.sql
db-update-002.sql

    I have a script which sequentially executes them and creates *.ok file for each if it’s successful. *.sql files contain “alter” statements and are stored in Git. The .ok files are not stored, so if you distribute changes, you need to imprint only those without .ok files.

    I use this file: https://github.com/atk4/atk4/blob/master/tools/update.sh

    but since you are in MS environment, you might need to do something different.
