Deployment Post Script

• Enable Https for your site and setup the certificates to automatically be renewed
• Wrt troubleshooting deployment issues Steps:
  1. Does it work locally? Try running/packaging/debugging your app locally (i.e. on your mac) first before worrying about issues in production.
  2. Have you pushed? Inspect the output when you push, are there any errors?
  3. Check the logs on the server.

     ./server tomcatlog
     

     • Take note of the timestamps here, make sure you aren't trying to diagnose an issue that was occuring a week ago!
     • Are there errors? A stack trace? What do the messages say?
  • See also this checklist in the FAQs
• Read the docs! Checkout the faq and the main readme, in addition to the deployment guide we followed along with during class.
• In general, your sudo password will be required to make changes to your setup, the only exception to this is any db subcommands, there, you'll need the database password.
• Command usage examples
• Give a friend access to your server (this might be useful come capstone time)
