WebsiteBaker Portable Project

[pszilard]

Thanks very much for the quick reply.

I've (temporarily) killed Zone Alarm, which helped, plus I missed the port number at 4001.

Excellent option with the Portable.

Is there any documentation for Dummies on how to move between a web server installed WB and the Portable? i.e. I would like to add locally to the site then batch update the server, and I would like to "capture" the server site and show it from local to clients without having an internet connection? That would be FANTASTIC!

I have a 64GB SSD, which has BOTH a SATA connection for laptop internal use, AND a mini USB connection. This is way faster than most USB Flash drives and big enough for everything I would want to carry around.

Thnx in advance,

Bit outdated, but this should do: http://help.websitebaker.org/pages/en/knowledge-base/moving-from-server-a-to-b.php

I tested many portable WAMP (Windows, Apache, MySQL and PHP) servers, and the result was that there is only one project that works enough good. That is USB Webserver. It is a bit old, and it is not developed any more. But nevertheless it works perfect, it is the most easiest to use, and has very small size.
I found Server2Go too big and it works good only with a bundled browser.
Another thing that appeared recently is called Z:WAMP. It is bigger, but it is entirely OpenSource, works very good, and is under active development. But I still prefer USB Webserver.
If you go here on portable freeware:
Internet - Web Servers (9) - Most popular first
you can see that my words are true. USB Webserver is the most popular WAMP (the first HFS is only server, not a WAMP). And it is for reason - it works very good.
USB Webserver is not related to any particular browser. So you can get a browser of your choice:

• Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition
• Opera@USB
• Google Chrome Portable
• and every Windows machine has IE

This is also a test that your site works good on the major browsers used now-days.


Also, to work with the MySQL database, there is great portable tool - HeidiSQL - MySQL made easy. You can use it to backup, restore, browse, optimize, repair and etc. the database.

And there is the OpenSource FTP client FileZilla. It is portable too. Here are the instructions to move the setings to its folder:
FileZilla - How to extract

So, to synchronize between local and web, we need to:

• get the database from local and upload it to the web using HeidiSQL
• upload the files using FileZilla

And that makes a perfect portable package.

hi karlsson,

thank you for your post.... before the last version of the portable package i've check alternatives for the whole thing, too.

to get the pack smaller, faster and more stable!

so i've watched out the USB Webserver pack, too. but without active development i decided to leave it for WB Portable...

Server2Go works with the default Browser, too or with a portable browser, it's only one pathsetting in the psm_config.ini...

Whats a good new alternative is the Z:WAMP Link you've posted - i will check it out.

also i didn't know HeidiSQL!

if you want to help me or - if you have a portable packege with WebsiteBaker working that fit's better and you would share it - please send me a PM.

Best Regards
Martin

Hi !

WB Portable is very usefull for me - I like it!

I prepared memorysticks with some components users need to manage their application.
I think it was better to train them offline.

That are PicasaPortable, FilezillaPortable and WebsitebakerPortabl e.
 I  generated galleries with the picasa html export and fotoplayer 4.0 and display them in wb  wrapper.
This works very fine
(http://www.kuenstlerkreis-heideck.de/webbak/pages/kuenstler/frister/frister-werke.php).
Therefore my need for ftp - the artists shall transfer their complete galleries with only a few klicks

I did not find a way to  ftp with the websitebaker portable / server2go.

Is it possible ?
