Re: Deploy current HTML site to Google Apps

See https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/python/gettingstarted/staticfiles

You *might* be able to set the static directive for your root URL or catchall, although I have not tried this and would anticipate some issues.
If that works, then you should be able to just have Dreamweaver publish to a folder in your app, set the directive to point the root url to that folder, and then deploy the app as normal.

Have been working with the cloud sherpa’s for a while now but can’t seem to get a straight answer from anyone. We are trying to do a Proof of concept on the App Engine but before we get to deep we just want to deploy a very basic HTML site that was developed with Dream Weaver. Is this possible? If so does anyone have a link or instruction for a Windows user.

 I am so frustrated with this that we are considering cancelling the POC and just doing traditional development and hosting.

To add to Blaine's comment -- you can map the root url i.e. '/' to an index.html file by add something like:

# app.yaml

# ...

handlers:

- url: /

  static_dir: dreamweaver_dir

- url: /

  static_files: dreamweaver_dir/index.html

  upload: dreamweaver_dir/index.html
