Hi

I am wondering if there is any documentation or instruction for how to deploy an application to a web server.

I have an app that's configured and runs well with Powerbuilder 2019 R2 on localhost.

The app now needs to be deployed to my company's web server so it can be tested by other developers and testers.

Windows IIS is what we use and an http address with a port number has been designated to this app but that's as far as I get.

If you happen to have some step-by-step instructions or know where I can find some web deployment documents, I'd appreciate it.

 

Thank you

you can either install via FTP (configurable in the toolset), or you can generate a package, copy that to the server and install it.

ftp requires a little more setup, but then you don't need to RDP to the server to install the package.. i prefer to use FTP.  I know a lot of others prefer to use the package/RDP method.

have you read up on the deployment process in the help?  Its under the powerserver toolkit users guide

CJ, Considering you are on trial version, the way to set this up is install a single Microsoft IIS server (with .NET framework) to some machine and then install a single PowerServer to that Microsoft IIS. You do not separate the Web server from the PowerServer. And Mike is correct that no PowerBuilder needs to be installed to the server. There is an installation guide document... just follow it step by step.

Thank you, Mike and Armeen.



I am following those two web pages https://bit.ly/37B9k63 and https://bit.ly/2N5oSoU and will install PowerServer (PB Edition) in PowerBuilder Installer for PowerBuilder 2019 (not the R2).

I hope this is the correct path.

Yes, but R2 is a better version. For proof of concept 2019 is fine. But for going live R2 better more bug fixes.

Does anyone happen to know any of the reasons why PowerServer (PB Edition) x64 (MR build 2170) failed to install on a Web Server? I did a PowerServer only install with the Installer.

As you can see in the background of the attached png, the Error Log came up blank...

 

Thanks

CJ

from what you posted it looks like you tried to install 2 builds, so it just installed one of them.



You should install from the 2019R2 installer - because that has powerserver 2020. PS 2020 is much much much MUCH better than 2019.

Got it!

It was because the IIS wasn't stopped. Once I stopped all Application Pools and Sites, it installed successfully
