Overview
There are two methods to install a WEBDEV site on a Unix server:
  1. Remote deployment directly from the development computer:
    the WEBDEV site manager will be able to deploy their site from the development computer. The necessary files will be transferred via HTTP (recommended) or FTP (kept for compatibility with previous versions). This type of deployment is required if the Web server is not directly accessible by the site manager.
  2. Remote deployment from an administration computer: The developer does not need to know the characteristics of the server to create the setup program ("Package"). The server parameters are specified when the package is run on a management computer. This administration computer is a Windows computer. This type of deployment is recommended when the developer does not know the server characteristics when creating the setup program.
Note: A license for WEBDEV 2024 Application Server is required for each web server hosting WEBDEV 2024 sites.
Information needed to deploy a site via FTP or HTTP
Reminder: Starting with version 24, it is no longer necessary to deploy a site via FTP . It is also possible to remotely deploy a WEBDEV site via HTTP.
The following parameters are required to perform a remote installation (directly or using a package):
  • Name of the web server (Server address). You can specify:
    • the name of a computer accessible via network (Intranet for example). Example: "Test server"
    • an IP address. Example: 123.3.250.12
    • an Internet address. Example: www.mycompany.com
  • Name and password of the User account.
    Remark: The name and associated password for the FTP account are the same as those of the user account.
These parameters must be transmitted:
  • to the WEBDEV site manager for a remote setup performed from the development computer. The WEBDEV site manager will be able to install their WEBDEV site from their development computer and to remotely update their sites on a regular basis.
  • to the person who will install the package corresponding to the WEBDEV site for a remote setup from a management computer.
Errors that may occur during a setup via FTP
The list of errors and their solutions are presented in Problems linked to a setup via FTP.
Deployment using a package
The package was generated from WEBDEV Development.
To install the package on a computer:
  1. Make sure that you own the followingn elements:
    • the package
    • WDDeploy and its framework (WD290*.DLL and *.WDK files).
  2. Copy these elements to a PC running Windows. This PC must be able to access the LINUX server via FTP.
  3. Start WDDeploy and load the ZIP archive corresponding to the package.
  4. Click the button used to deploy the site.
Minimum version required
  • Version 28
