Uploading a Google App Engine application

I'm not burning steps after all, I just want to see the application alive in the internet, what matters if we derived a little bit from the Google tutorial.

So I decided to upload the Geochat sample!
But where to start? The application is complete, all files are in and very light (220 kb). So here the tutorial to be in the right track.

Upload may seems hard, if you are a beginner in programming, command lines...
So here's how to do for empty persons:
  • First you have to set an application, after you are done, remember the application ID (gaecoder is my ID and you can access my application http://gaecoder.appspot.com)
  • Go to your application root and open app.yml or app.yaml
  • Change the following line from...
    application: geochat
    to your application ID
    application: gaecoder
    If you don't do that.. you won't upload the files
  • Then run the command line and enter the following line
    appcfg.py update c:/geochat/
    And replace geochat with your path or folder name
  • You'll be asked for your email then you password (Google email and password)
  • Your upload should run and go if nothing goes wrong!
Visit your application dashboard, you should be able to see your application statics.
Check the application here, you should find Geo chat, but I may change it later...
Have a problem, let face it together, tell me what didn't work!
