Deploying to App Engine

---

This page shows you how to deploy the guestbook sample app to App Engine.

This page is part of a multi-page tutorial. To start from the beginning and see instructions for setting up, go to Creating a Guestbook.

Deploying your application

To upload the guestbook app, run the following command from within the appengine-php-guestbook directory of your application where the app.yaml file is located:

gcloud app deploy

Optional flags:

• Include the --project flag to specify an alternate Google Cloud console project ID to what you initialized as the default in the gcloud CLI. Example: --project [YOUR_PROJECT_ID]
• Include the -v flag to specify a version ID, otherwise one is generated for you. Example: -v [YOUR_VERSION_ID]

To learn more about deploying your app from the command line, see Deploying a PHP App.

Viewing your application

To launch your browser and view the app at https://PROJECT_ID.REGION_ID.r.appspot.com, run the following command:

gcloud app browse
