Durée de la leçon 10 min
Overview
There are two programs to manage WEBDEV websites and web services:
  • the WEBDEV administrator.
  • the remote WEBDEV administrator.
We will discover these tools in this lesson.
Local WEBDEV administrator
The WEBDEV administrator is an application installed with WEBDEV Application Server.
The WEBDEV administrator can be used only if you can directly access the web server on which your site is deployed.
This application includes seven parts, represented by seven tabs:
  • Connections: Displays the list of users connected to the sites and allows you to disconnect a user.
    WEBDEV administrator, 'Connections' tab
  • Sites: Lists the sites deployed on the server as well as their parameters:
    WEBDEV administrator, 'Sites' tab
  • Web services: Lists the web services deployed on the server as well as their parameters.
  • WebSocket: Lists the WebSocket servers installed on the server.
  • Configuration: Used to manage the server configuration.
    WEBDEV Administrator, 'Configuration' tab
  • Advanced: Used to define additional server settings such as print jobs, email spooler, etc, ...
    WEBDEV administrator, 'Advanced' tab
  • Setups: Used to lock the server for maintenance, allow or forbid remote setups, and configure the setup log. This log lists the elements installed in a site. It is especially useful to contact our Technical Support if you encounter errors during deployment.
    WEBDEV Administrator, 'Setups' tab
  • Logs: Allows you to view site logs, web services or WebSocket servers for a specified period of time. The elements displayed are the elements for which errors occurred during the specified period of time and for which the logs are enabled.
Remote WEBDEV administrator
The remote administrator is a WEBDEV website that provides features similar to the WEBDEV administrator but that can be used to manage WEBDEV websites remotely.
Warning
If you use the remote administrator, security configuration is essential. It is recommended to access the administrator via an HTTPS connection and to set strong passwords.
Remark: This tool is not available with "WEBDEV Application Server - 10 connections".
When you deploy your dynamic site to a hosting platform, you can use the remote administrator to update the parameters of your site (if the hosting provider allows remote administration).

To start WDAdminWeb:
  1. Open a browser.
  2. Enter the following URL in the address bar (with the same case):
    http://computer/WDAdminWeb

    where "computer" is the name of the deployment server.
  3. Enter the username and password to log in to the remote WEBDEV administrator.
  4. The administrator starts.
