cPanel huh? Never really thought of that.

As of "now" they basically develop live on the dev host, commit the changes to svn, and then someone from my team does a svn update from test and then prod. It works for the most part, although frequency and major changes (file permission loss is the main issue there) are the issue. They will change things at least once a week and more often everyday and I can't keep up. Least I forget to mention, there are frequent mistakes (for lack of a better word) which sometimes require several pushed a day.

If I had a system that my team built where the dev team had the control and access, it would make my life much easier. Of course we're still talking about going through change management and all that fun stuff as we get tripwire reports each day.

So to sum up; move file (changes only) from dev to test to prod with versioning and rollback capabilities. I'm thinking it will be custom scripts, although if I can save some time and use something already out there, I'm all for it.

I know Cpanel was designed to do some of this, bu8t not sure if its
100% what you need. maybe peek at usermin it might have the features
you want.

maybe a stack of rsync to a serve they have access to. once they get
it the way it supposed to be fire off a script to merge it into
production with backup for easy reversal?

most of this is guesswork however what do they need and what is
require for data to go live?

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
