Instructions for customizing Site Creator and getting it running on Google App Engine
Updated Feb 4, 2010 by James.Bo...@gmail.com

Downloading

Download the trunk distribution of the code from Subversion by following the instructions provided here.

You'll also need to download the App Engine SDK from here.

Customizing

Most user configurable settings are stored in the file configuration.py and are documented by comments in that file. In addition, a unique name for the deployed instance should be registered with App Engine and specified in app.yaml

Deploying

After customization app can be deployed by executing

appcfg.py update .

from the root directory of the application. Once an install is running on App Engine, an administrator of the app should log in and go to http://your-app-name.appspot.com/admin/ and click on the "Create Page" link in the side bar. This will result in the creation of a root page for the site, which can be optionally renamed.

Administering

The App Engine admin interface allows for the creation of users profiles (only Google accounts with a registered profile are granted access to the site), user groups, pages, and access control lists. The interfaces to modify this data are accessible via the sidebar in the admin interface.

Additionally, a sidebar can be specified in YAML format. Clicking "add to sidebar" from the page editing interface will cause a YAML entry to be added to the sidebar definition. That entry can then be repositioned from the sidebar editing view.

Under what software license have you provided this ?

Comment by jlangd...@gmail.com, Apr 4, 2009

I'm also interested to know what license this code is released under?

Comment by sodhan...@gmail.com, Jun 11, 2009

i get a page not found error once i run the app-engine-site-creator code. Im not well versed in python but setting up the development environment was easy enough.

can u tell me what went wrong ???

Comment by faruktop...@gmail.com, Jun 20, 2009

I got the same error. It was a 404 error. But when i logged in as administrator it worked.if you run it with localhost you should be logged in as administrator.

Apache license according to the homepage of the project.

I probably logged in with the wrong username and got a server error. How do I log out? This is not that polished...

Comment by shrin...@gmail.com, May 25, 2010

Whatever I do, I get a "Server Error". Is there any workaround for this?

Comment by shrin...@gmail.com, May 25, 2010

My bad... I uploaded the application and tried to edit the application on google's servers. I guess that won't be allowed.

I tried it on localhost and seems to work just fine. Will look more into this sometime. Excited!! :-)

Thanks for doing this!!

I've successfully gotten 'Hello World' to show for my project, but the /admin/ page throws an "Oops" after a seemingly successful deployment via 'appcfg.py update myapp/' (with 'myapp' replaced by my app name, of course).

Comment by swin...@gmail.com, May 15, 2011

I managed to create pages in localhost, but once deployed, all I get is 'sever error'. The deployment log in the console keep saying that "Cannot build indexes that are in state ERROR."

Please help!
