If publishing fails in the Deploying phase

Problems in the 'Deploying' phase are typically related to storage issues, caching issues or the selected target language.

For 'Deploying' failures, check the following:

  • Is the storage medium in which you are storing your content appropriate for that content? For example, Taxonomies should not be stored on the file system, but only in a database.
  • Is your license for storing content in a database expired? In this event, your deployment system may store such content on the file system instead as a fallback measure.
  • Are you working in a scaled-out environment with multiple caches, and if so, are you synchronizing these caches using Remote Synchronization? Both caching and cache synchronization are configured in the Storage Layer configuration file, cd_storage_conf.xml.
  • If you are not publishing to an ASP.NET site or a JSP site (such as a PHP site), have you done the following?
    • Have you published your content in the REL target language, and created Templates using the REL Output Format?
    • Have you implemented and tested code that transforms REL output (TCDL code) into your target language (such as PHP) at request time?
  • If you are trying to access content not through a Web site but through the Content Delivery Web service, have you published your content in the REL target language, and created Templates using the REL Output Format?
