2. Deploying a static or PHP site
Previous pageTable of contentsNext page
Overview
When developing a static or PHP site, one of the most important steps is to deploy the site on a web server (at a hosting service or on an Intranet).
Two deployment methods are available:
  • remote deployment (via FTP): This method is recommended when the server is not directly accessible.
  • network deployment: This method is recommended when the server is easily accessible.
WDDeploy simplifies the deployment of your static sites.
Note: To deploy a dynamic site, see Deploying a dynamic Session or AWP site in practice.
Creating the setup program
To deploy your static site:
  1. On the "Project" tab, in the "Generation" group, click "Deploy site". WDDeploy starts.
  2. Create a profile for your site. This profile contains the following information:
    • Location of local files ("<ProjectName>_WEB" subdirectory of your site).
    • Address of the WEBDEV website.
    • Location of the deployed website files (network or FTP server).
    • Characteristics of the FTP server used to update the site. These characteristics are provided by the hosting service.
  3. Click the "Prepare" button. WDDeploy prepares the list of files to install. For an update, WDDeploy compares the files located on the development computer with those already installed.
  4. Click the "Synchronize" button. The site files are copied to the location specified in the profile.
For more details, see WDDeploy.
