3. Deploying a dynamic WEBDEV website
The different types of deployment WEBDEV offers three methods for deploying a dynamic Session or AWP site: - deploy the WEBDEV website by providing the installation media to the hosting service. Note: A WEBDEV Application Server can be included in the installation media.
- deploy the site remotely from the development computer by HTTP. Note: You can also deploy your websites using FTP. In this case, an FTP server must be set up at the hosting service.
- deploy the site remotely from an administrator computer using HTTPNote: You can also deploy your websites using FTP. In this case, an FTP server must be set up on the web server.
Choosing a deployment method The deployment method depends on the limitations of the hosting provider and the location of the deployment server (remote or local). It is recommended to use the installation media if the web server can be easily accessed (for example, if the web server and the development team are located in the same premises). Remote installation (by HTTP) from the development computer is recommended if the deployment computer cannot be easily accessed.
Before the remote installation, the hosting provider must configure WEBDEV Account Manager. Remote installation (by HTTP) from an administrator computer is recommended if the developer does not have the server characteristics when creating the setup program. In this case, the setup program is a "Package". If a site is intended for several clients, you can create a single package and distribute it to all clients. The server settings (address, etc.) are specified only when the package is run on the administrator computer. Required information to deploy a site using installation media When deploying a site using installation media, the information about the setup and the site settings is both in the setup creation wizard and in the setup wizard. When preparing the setup program, you need to include: - the installation directory,
- the files to install,
- the installation generation directory.
During the installation, you must include: - the data file directory,
- the site files directory.
After the installation, it is necessary to set the site characteristics (connection timeout, number of connections, etc.) in the WEBDEV administrator (deployment version). Required information to deploy a site via HTTP directly from the development computer You need the information below to start the installation. Contact your provider to get this information. Before deploying a site via HTTP directly from the development computer, the hosting service must provide the following information to the developer: - Name of the server where the installation will be performed (or its IP address).
- Username and password defined in WEBDEV Account Manager.
- OS account used to run WEBDEV websites (it is associated with the WEBDEV account in the account manager).
When deploying a site via HTTP, the developer must specify the following elements in the wizard: - the information provided by the hosting service,
- the files to install,
- the name of the data file subdirectory,
- the different site connection parameters.
Remarks: - You can defer an installation to a specific date and time.
- Installations and updates via HTTP are password protected and the transmitted data is encrypted.
Required information to deploy a site via HTTP directly from an administrator computer When creating the setup program, no specific information is required. When running the website setup program from an administrator computer, the hosting provider must specify the following elements: - Name of the server where the installation will be performed (or its IP address).
- Username and password defined in WEBDEV Account Manager.
- OS account used to run WEBDEV websites (it is associated with the WEBDEV account in the account manager).
Remarks: - You can defer an installation to a specific date and time.
- Installations and updates via HTTP are password protected and the transmitted data is encrypted.
