Deploying a WEBDEV site on a remote WEBDEV application server

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:
- If the Application Server is installed in version 24 or lower, the version of WEBDEV on the development station can be any version up to 24.
- If the Application Server is installed in version 25 or higher, the version of WEBDEV on the development station must be at least 24.
  Special case: in the case of a remote deployment from WEBDEV 24 on an Application Server in version 25 or higher, it is necessary to request the WWINST.EXE module for WEBDEV 24 from the patches of practical resources: https://www.windev.com/ts/useful_resources.htm, option "List of available patches for WINDEV, WEBDEV, WINDEV Mobile"..
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 a WEBDEV account in the WEBDEV administrator, the communication of account name and password.
The creation of an FTP account, the communication of name and password of FTP account as well as the IP address of server.

The different steps

The different steps for deploying on a remote server are as follows:

Entering information about the server.
A connection is automatically established with the server. The logins and passwords are checked.
This step is used to define all the options for accessing the server (HTTPS protocol, authenticated requests, FTP server, etc.)
Selection of files to be installed.
Automatic data file modification.
Configuring the WEBDEV administrator and setup mode.
File transfer and setup.
Error messages can be displayed at different steps of remote setup. For more details, see Errors during a setup by FTP.
When the setup is completed, the wizard provides the command line used to start the site. This line can be copied (if necessary) into the clipboard via the popup menu.
