FWIW, gnome.org actually uses this sort of mechanism for a few of it's websites (www.gnome.org, foundation.gnome.org and developer.gnome.org) and most of the time it works out just fine. Essentially we have a commit hook so that it does a complete build, then copies the files over. However, it's not really a website that needs to be 'started' as such, and very little of it currently uses databases. Glynn
