As I promised in an earlier post on Vosao, here you will find a few bits of information on how to install Vosao.  I also included a few pictures of what to expect if you are following some of the tutorials here.

This tutorial will allow you to get your CMS application going in the Google App Engine cloud for FREE.

Assumptions:

  • You know how to install Java in your Machine, if not look here.
  • I am using a Windows machine, so I am assuming you are, if you are a Mac or Linux user, I am sure you will figure it out.

Requirements:

First Steps:

  • Unpack your appengine-java-sdk-x.x.x.zip in your root directory under a folder called appengine-java-sdk
  • Unpack your vosaocms-x.x.war in your root directory, under a folder called vosaocms

Now you are ready to follow the steps on Vosao CMS Setup.

After you follow the steps above, and in the vosao website you should have a screen like this:

 

The important thing to remember is that if at any point you get stopped, and you need help you can email the good people of support@vosao.org. 

They will help you get your instance up and running.

    Good blog.

    I needed to host my site in a very inexpensive way, and you just gave me the answer. I will try Vosao out, and let you know.

      @khoyendra,

      Could you please tell us at what stage did you encountered that error? Also, when you say your project war file, you mean Vosao’s file. email me directly through the contact form.

    Hi,
    I’m stuck here I dont know how to continue

    Step 4.Upload the CMS application by issuing the GAE SDK command line:
    (Linux) $ {SDK bin directory}appcfg.sh update {unpacked war directory} (
    Windows) > {SDK bin directory}appcfg.cmd update {unpacked war directory>}

    Where to write this code? I tried to open from the appengine-java-sdk-x.x.x.zip the file appcfg dos script from the bin directory of the program but after the opening immediately automatically its getting closed.I’m begginer in this so I need a little more step-by-step guide.I hope to hear an answer from you soon Thanks in advance.
