Topic: Apache and PHP

Hi,

I made a PHP website using NetBean v6.8 and I want to my PHP website to be hosted by the SME Server.
The problem is I don't know how to send the PHP website to my SME Server.

Is there a HowTo for this? Please help me.

There's a contrib called Site Maker that tries to simplify the installation of generic web applications.

You should also search the wiki and forums for notes on installing other PHP applications - you may find one that looks similar to yours, and if you read 3 or 4 sets of instructions you should get a good feel for the oddities of installing apps on a SME server.

Thanks for the quick response.

I'll try out the Site Maker as soon as I get home.

So my next question is how can I transfer the PHP site to my SME Server?
I'm using NetBeans as my development tool.

VPN, sftp, ssh (Putty), WinSCP, take your pick as preferred.
If you choose sftp then read the section in ibay re sftp access CAREFULLY.
You must login as a valid user and cd to the ibay.

i don't quite get what your saying.
i'm using putty to connect to the sme server box but i don't see any options in it to transfer the files to the server box.
could you please provide me more information about it.

let's say i made an app called myfirstwebsite
what i want to happen is that whenever users type http://mysmeserver/myfirstwebsite they would automatically see the app
