Re: Moving a Django website to another server

I was looking for a consistent and error-free deployment as I switch
between servers frequently despite using the same public domain. rsync
was great but I had to manually reload server thereafter or issue a
syncdb, etc.

I have since moved to Fabric for my deployment needs. See
http://docs.fabfile.org/en/1.5/tutorial.html.
With Fabric, I only need to issue one command for daily deployment to
existing or new server, e.g. fab deploy, under my Django project
directory to deploy the project.
