Publish the site with Sakura Rental Server Lite

Let's publish the site created using Sakura Rental Server Light.

This is the moment when a website is published on the web. I'm thrilled.

The features of publishing the site using Sakura's rental server light are as follows.

  • It can be operated for 129 yen per month
  • Capacity is 10G
  • Publish the site using FTP
  • Pages using CGI such as mail forms move
  • HTTPS support is free

As a caveat

The site is published using FTP, so think of it as manual.

When using CGI, it is necessary to set permissions, line feed code, etc. correctly.

I will write a rough flow.

Publishing the site

To publish your site, look for the following files on Windows:

This sample assumes that a site was created in your home directory with the name "mysite".

Files to be published have been created in the "public" directory.

#Path on Windows
mysite / public /

Upload all the contents of this file to complete the publication.

Create a folder called "mysite-public" on Sakura's rental server.

#Path on the rental server
mysite-public /

Let's throw all the contents of "mysite / public /" into this.

That's it.

If you access with the acquired domain name and the site is displayed, you are done.
