@NogDogSep 04.2011 — #Simple, cost-effective way: have a system admin type watching the ceremony via a web cam or whatever, and when the button is pressed, he hits the enter button on his terminal to execute the batch file or simply a command line instruction.
No, seriously.
If you really want it to be fully automated, the button would just need to link to a PHP script that does a rename(). You might want to add some sort of user authorization to that PHP script so only someone who is properly logged in can access it. The script could then use header() to do a Location redirect to the new home page, just so you see the result immediately.
New Method to launch a new website
Hello Everybody,
As all coders have no time I will bring it up directly.
1- We are launching a new website at a small ceremony.
2- The website will have initial page that has a button says “Launch Me”.
3- When the official presses the Launch Me button we need it to rename the index file with the official page for the full website we created.
We thought about coding a batch file that will have the FTP details and commands to rename the index file with the Official page, but the problem here is that we don’t know how to create such a button that will execute the .bat file on the server side. All what we need is a button or any way that will rename the index file with the official one by pressing a button.
Any tips people?
Thanks in-advance.
