Developer account

• to participate to the PC SOFT forums.
• to write annotations in the online documentation.
• to deploy a site on the test hosting server of PC SOFT. A hosting account for test is also required.

Necessary elements

1. A valid email address.
   Caution: When creating the developer account, the email address supplied can be used once only. The same email address cannot be used to create several developer accounts.
2. The serial number of your WEBDEV product.

Test hosting account

Necessary elements

1. A PCSOFT developer account.
2. A domain name. This domain name will be unique. It corresponds to the root of all the sites that will be deployed.
   For example: the root given by the PCSOFT domain will be http:\\pcsoft.webdev-test.com\MyTestSite
   Caution: The domain name must contain at least 5 characters.

Resources associated with a hosting account

• A custom FTP access.
  The access by FTP to your domain is performed with:
  • the entire domain name ("pcsoft.webdev-test.com" for example).
  • the domain name ("pcsoft" in our example).
  • the password that was specified when creating the account.
    This allows you to send files by FTP to your site.
• A secure Web tool to manage your sites (https://www.webdev-test.com/WDAdminWeb). You must enter your domain name and your password to connect yourself. This allows you to manage the different sites installed:
  • modify the maximum number of authorized connections
  • delete a site
  • modify the time-out for an automatic disconnection
  • enable/disable the management of LOGs for the traffic statistics
  • ...
    These options are identical to the ones available for a real deployment.

• the domain name,
• the password,

• In the "General" tab, specify:
  • the deployment name of the site (the project name by default).
  • the name of the associated domain for managing a sitemap file.
  • the name of the folder containing the data files (the name of the project by default).
  • the name of the deployment profile (specified by default) in order to save the setup parameters.
• In the "Advanced" tab, specify:
  • the FTP parameters,
