258 Part 6: Deploying a site Overview When the WEBDEV site is developed, it must be deployed on a server in order to make it accessible to the Web users. We are going to present the different steps required to deploy a WEBDEV site. Remark This section presents the deployment on a Windows server. If you want to use a Linux server, see the documentation about the WEBDEV application server for Linux or the online help. Several methods can be used to deploy a WEBDEV site (in Session mode or in AWP mode): • Remote deployment from the development computer (by HTTP or FTP). • Deployment in PCSCloud (PC SOFT’s Cloud). • Remote deployment from a management computer (by HTTP or FTP) via a "deployment package". • Deployment via PC SOFT test hosting service. • Deployment by physical media (CD, ...). This deployment can be stand-alone: in this case, a Web server and a limited WEBDEV application server are also installed by the setup. • Deployment via a Docker image of the site. Required configuration For the deployment on the server, the following elements must have been installed and configured: • A Web server, • A WEBDEV application server (a 10-connection version is supplied with WEBDEV). Remark: If a remote setup is performed by FTP, an FTP server must also be installed on the server. When installing WEBDEV, you have the ability to install the test version of WEBDEV application server. This allows you to test the deployment of your dynamic WEBDEV sites. To simplify the deployment operations and to allow you to directly test the deployment of your Web site, we will: • Install a WEBDEV Application Server 10 connections on a Windows computer. This application server must be installed on a computer other than the development computer. WEBDEV Development must not be installed on this computer. • Deploy the site remotely (by HTTP). Remark If you already have the parameters for accessing the server on which your site will be deployed, there is no need to install the WEBDEV Application Server 10 Connections. The setup can be directly performed on the server by HTTP.
