Hi,

Can some one tell me how to do this? Thanks.

Hi Lee,

I am not sure how much familiar you are with the system. RedDot
documentation will provide you with more detailed step by step instructions
on how to do many of these steps. So on a higher level, here is what you
need to do:
1) Set up an FTP server on the apache server and point the ftp base location
into the www directory of the apache.
2) Configure in your apache configuration file to have the site with the
Base Directory for the site pointing to ftp directory location that you set
up in step 1.
3) Set up a FTP publishing target in the CMS project to point to this ftp
location.
4) Create different folders to house different types of content type (say
pages, images, documents and so on) in the publishing folder structure.
5) Then set up publication package in CMS project with this ftp publishing
target as the publishing target.
6) Configure the published pages and your asset folders in the publication
package for particular project/language variant correspondingly to point to
the publishing folder structures.
7) Attach them to the root page in your CMS project and inherit the
publication package down the tree so that all pages have this publication
package
8) Publish a page in the particular project/language variant that you
configured in step 6 and see if the page shows in the ftp location with the
images and pages published respectively to the configured folders in step 6.

Hope it helps.
Thanks,
Prasanth

Hi,

you just have to set up a new publication package/structure and destination.
If you use any serverside scripts like php be aware that all functions will work on this - windows uses different directory separators then linux.

Did i get you right?

You might want to consider publishing it locally and rsyncing it to
your Apache server, I've heard publishing it to a local disk is much
faster than FTP. Also if you're connection fails you can just re-ryn
the rsync.
