deployment

With PhpStorm’s deployment capabilities, you can copy files and folders to remote servers. As a destination, you can use FTP/SFTP/FTPS as well as a local or mounted folder. You may often need to deploy to multiple servers: For example, if you have several instances of an application, or you need to deploy parts of an application to different servers. Previously, you would need to repeatedly upload your files to each server separately. In PhpStorm 2018.3, we’ve added server groups to address this. (more…)

When you work with remote servers, a common and recommended security measure is to use SSH key pairs for authentication. Our friends at PyCharm have prepared a great blog post on the topic. It explains how to generate an SSH key pair, store the passphrase for the private key in the credential helper, and, in the end, how to connect to a remote Python interpreter over SSH using the generated key pair for authentication. Before proceeding, make sure that you have a remote machine at hand to which you can connect over SSH using the generated key pair. Also, make sure to add your key to the

Where do we host our applications? How do we deploy them? Can we have different environments like development, staging and production? A possible answer to all those questions is Pantheon. It provides hosting, database, caching, version control, different environments, workflows for moving an application through the development pipeline and more. Let's go over the basics of working on a Drupal or WordPress site hosted on Pantheon, using PhpStorm. (more…)

When developing PHP applications, chances are at one point we will be deploying them. During development we may want to deploy our application to a testing/staging server or a Vagrant box. And once release day is there we want to make sure our carefully crafted code makes it to production. We're happy to announce several resources that will help doing all these tasks! First of all, we've just released a series of tutorials around deployments using PhpStorm: An introduction to deploying PHP applications with PhpStorm to get started. We also published a short video on deployment and remot

The recording of our March 12th webinar featuring Maarten Balliauw and Mikhail Vink, Deployment with PhpStorm, is now available on JetBrains YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UD2qrDs3_VQ (more…)

Join us Wednesday, March 12th, 15:00 - 16:00 GMT (11:00 AM - 12:00 PM EDT, check other zones) for a free webinar, Deployment with PhpStorm with Maarten Balliauw. Please note that in some locations such as the East Coast of the United States time will move forward one hour on March 9, 2014. How easy is it to connect to remote hosts from PhpStorm and copy over files from our project to the server? And can I do that when committing code to VCS? In this webinar, we'll explore PhpStorm's deployment options and answer these questions, and more. We'll see how to do the basics as well as how

We've already blogged about being able to connect to a remote server using the Remote Hosts tool window. We can drag-and-drop files and folders from our PhpStorm project to a remote FTP, FTPS, SFTP server or a local/network folder. The latest PhpStorm 7.1.1 enhances the drag-and-drop behavior to what we are used to from our operating system. (more…)

Unit testing follows the mantra that “the same input always should generate the same output.” But what if some developers on a team have different PHP configurations, or maybe one uses Windows and the other one Mac OS X? Does that qualify as “same input”? It should, but to be sure we can run PHPUnit tests on a remote server or a Vagrant box, always running tests in the same environment. In PhpStorm 7, the PHPUnit on Server feature has been significantly reworked. (more…)

Recently, we received the following question through Twitter: “What is the easiest way to deploy the changes of your last commit(s) to a remote project?” Let's explore our options! (more…)

The latest version of the PhpStorm 7 EAP comes with Vagrant integration! Vagrant is a tool which helps us create reproducible development environments. By scripting a virtual machine, Vagrant allows us to share a development machine by sharing a simple script. Other developers can then launch an identical machine by running the vagrant up command. Or by doing this from within the IDE! Once the Vagrant Box is up and running, we can also make use of the built-in SSH terminal in PhpStorm to work on the virtual machine remotely. Have a look at our tutorials page on Vagrant support for detail
