Tuto WEBDEV 25

Part 6: Deploying a site 265 • Remote deployment from a management computer (by HTTP or FTP) via a "deployment package". This deployment mode operates like the direct remote deployment. The only difference: the deployment is not performed from the development environment of WEBDEV. In this mode: • the developer generates a deployment package. • The site manager (who can be a person other than the developer) deploys the package on the remote server via WDDeploy. WDDeploy is a freely distributable tool that is supplied with WEBDEV. • Deployment by physical media (DVD-ROM, etc.). The deployment by physical media creates a setup support (like an application) that will have to be run on the server directly. This deployment mode operates in Windows only. • Deployment via PC SOFT test hosting service . • Deployment via a Docker image of the site . Let’s now study the deployment by HTTP. A detailed example: deployment via HTTP We are going to deploy the "Full_WEBDEV_Site" project that was used in part 3 of this tutorial. A corrected version is available if you did not use this project yet. ▶ To open this project in WEBDEV: 1. Display the WEBDEV home page if necessary (Ctrl + <). 2.  In the home page, click "Tutorial" and select "Full WEBDEV Site (Exercise)". Answer If you did not perform the operations in the previous parts, open the corrected project. This project contains the different pages created in the previous parts. To open the corrected project, in WEBDEV’s home page, click "Tutorial" and select "Full WEBDEV Site (Answer)". Preparing the setup A setup wizard is supplied with WEBDEV ; this wizard allows you to easily install your site at the hosting company (Internet or Extranet site for example) or on one of your servers dedicated to WEBDEV hosting (Intranet site for example). ▶ We are going to use this wizard: 1.  In the ribbon, on the "Project" pane, in the "Generation" group, expand "Deploy site" and select "Generate and deploy the site".
