Deploying Code to Production

PHPMaker General Discussion (PHPMaker)
1

Hi All,

Looking for some (more) documentation…
Is there a guide somewhere that gives a checklist of things to check or do prior to moving your code to production?
For example:

  1. Update database parameters. Go “here” and do the following…
  2. Make sure you are storing passwords in an encrypted form.
  3. Make sure your path settings reflect the target server. You do this by checking “here”
    etc…

Also, any guides or steps for doing the same thing in one of the cloud platforms? (AWS, GCP, etc…)

Thanks.

Basically, no. That’s the advantage of using PHPMaker to develop web applications. No need to adjust this and that before uploading all the script files to remote server

Even for the database connection, you don’t have to adjust the setting for your remote server. You may simply use “Database_Connecting” server event to define your database connection for your remote server. Please read “Server Events and Client Scripts” topic from PHPMaker Help menu for more info and example.

The only thing that you need to do is, by giving 767 permissions for “upload” folder in your remote server, if your web application supports upload files to folder feature.

Thanks for the reply.
That is pretty amazing. I will give those sections of the help document a read and reply back with any questions I might have.

Thanks!
