Deploying a WEBDEV website to a remote WEBDEV Application Server or WEBDEV Cluster
Overview
Installing a dynamic WEBDEV (in Session or AWP mode) site on a remote application server requires:
  • A web server.
  • The WEBDEV Application Server installed on the deployment Web server.
  • The creation of a WEBDEV account in the WEBDEV administrator, the communication of account name and password.
Steps to follow
The different steps for deploying on a remote server are as follows:
  1. Entering information about the server.
    A connection is automatically established with the server. The usernames and passwords are checked.
    This step defines all server access options (HTTPS protocol, authenticated requests, FTP server if required, etc.).
  2. Choice of deployment type: update with or without disconnection.
  3. Selection of files to be installed.
  4. Automatic data file modification.
  5. Site settings and security.
  6. File transfer and setup.
    Error messages can be displayed at different steps of remote setup. For more details, see Errors during an FTP installation.
  7. A notification appears when the site is deployed. Clicking on this notification brings up:
    • the link to launch the installed site. A barcode is also displayed, allowing the site to be launched from a mobile device.
    • New in SaaS
      a link to the installation log. The corresponding ".log" file can be recorded and consulted. It contains all the operations carried out to install the site. In the event of an error, it also contains the errors encountered.
      Note: This feature is only available from WINDEV Suite SaaS 2025 - Update 2.
Remarks and special cases
For installation on a WEBDEV Clustercluster, the following items are required:
  • A web server.
  • The WEBDEV Application Server installed on the deployment Web server.
  • The creation of a WEBDEV account in the WEBDEV administrator, the communication of account name and password.
  • The WEBDEV Application Server must be installed in Cluster mode and the WEBDEV Cluster must contain at least one node. For more details, see Installing a WEBDEV Cluster.
  • A proxy must be installed and configured to be used with the WEBDEV Cluster. For more details, see WEBDEV Cluster: Proxy configuration.
  • The site or web service must be installed via the proxy. The proxy address is therefore necessary.
For installation via FTP, the following items are also required:
  • An FTP server installed on the deployment Web server only for a deployment by FTP. The FTP server is not necessary for an HTTP deployment.
  • The creation of an FTP account, the communication of name and password of FTP account as well as the server IP address.
Notes on WEBDEV Application Server:
  • For an Application Server in version 24 or earlier, any version of WEBDEV (up to version 24) can be used on the development computer.
  • For an Application Server in version 25 or later, WEBDEV 24 or later must be used on the development computer.
    Special case: in the case of remote deployment from WEBDEV 24 on an Application Server version 25 or higher, it is necessary to request the WWINST.EXE module for WEBDEV 24 from the practical resources patches: https://www.windev.com/ts/useful_resources.htm, option "List of available WINDEV, WEBDEV, WINDEV Mobile patch modules".
