3.ssh to connect PA server.

Step2: Connect the Endpoint server using SSH. Upload the package into the endpointserver.

(Note:Upload path-var/ww/html)

Step3: Go to the endpoint server terminal window

How to build and validate a package in APS2.0

IF the Eclipse2.0 environment not supporting the Package Build and validation then use the

following method.

1)Install the APStools on your machine.
2)Go to Command Prompt using Run-cmd command.
3)cd C:\Program Files (x86)\APSStandard.org\APSTools
4)C:\Program Files (x86)\APSStandard.org\APSTools>apsbuild D:\workspace\Helloworld
5)C:\Program Files (x86)\APSStandard.org\APSTools>apslint -v D:\workspace\Helloworld-1-

app.zip

note:here D:\workspace is the path of your eclipse.After building the package the package

folder.

Application configuration script reported errors: ‘env: php: No such file or directory ‘ why showing this error in APS package?

This error is usualy show while clicking on the create button in the Customer control panel

(CCP). This is because of PHP/Apche attribute is missing in the Resource type/Provisioning

attributes tab.

If PHP Attributes is not available in the provisioning attributes tab, Use the following

steps to make it available.

Please follow the below Steps

1. Install PHP to the PA server using command line prompt. for this use the command

yum install php

2. After installing php, login into the PA server

Then Products -> Resources -> Attributes -> Add New Attribute
Give Attribute name PHP and Attribute description PHP
Then Submit
3. go to Infrastructure -> Hardware Nodes
Click on Appache related node -> General TAB -> Attributes -> Assign
Select PHP

Note: In step3 if you add php to mysql/or some other nodes it will not work.you must add it

to apache/php related node.

After finishing the above steps “PHP” attributes will be available Provisioning attributes

of your application resource type.
