Deploying an Application

This procedure describes how to deploy your application. Deploying takes the application from the local development environment and enables external view and usage on Web browsers.

For more information on what deployment means, see Deployment.

Note:

To deploy an application in Zend Studio, a project needs enabled deployment. For more information on how to enable deployment for a project, see Enabling Deployment Support for Your Application.
