Hi Jake,
Thanks for you example on how to use the appcfg with backends.
I think the documentation really needs to include some solid examples on how
to use appcfg.
I found this to be lacking in alot of parts through the Google App Engine
documentation.
Now, for the apppcfg parameters:
- <dir> needs to point to your app's war directory
- [updates] you can leave blank or you can specify which once to deploy.
Other wise if it is black it will deploy all your backends defined in
backends.xml
For others reading this that are trying to figure out how to get your
backends.xml to appear in the Admin UI you need to ensure you have the
following:
1. A valid backends.xml file. This means the class elements and correct
nesting of elements. Be care of using lower case b's in your class elements.
For example, a lower case b will cause the deploy to fail as it does not
validate against the backends.xsd:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<backends>
<backend name="spider">
<class>b2</class>
<instances>1</instances>
</backend>
</backends>
You need to have something like
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<backends>
<backend name="spider">
<class>B2</class>
<instances>1</instances>
</backend>
</backends>
2. Until a is fixes made, you'll probably need to use appcfg to make your
backends appear in the admin UI.
Find your appcfg.sh and run '*chmod 755*' incase it doesn't have the
permissions to execute. Then type:
*
*
*./appcfg.sh backends ~/pathToYourApp/AppFoldr/war/ update*
This will deploy your app to Google. It will ask for your email and
password.
I left the parameter after update blank because I deploy the app with all my
backends defined in my backends.xml.
You can alternatively use:
*./appcfg.sh backends ~/pathToYourApp/AppFoldr/war/ update spider*
This will target the 'sortgames' backend (as shown above)
I hope this helps!
Cheers!
