Building a project in another directory

You normally invoke PocoCMS from the command line something like this:

• Create a new site, change to its directory, and run the built-in webserver:

poco -new /path/to/your/site
cd  /path/to/your/site
poco -serve

Or if the project already exists:

• Build site from inside its directory

cd  /path/to/your/site
poco 

Building poco in a remote directory

But you can actually build and run from any directory (you have permission to be in), to another directory. Examples:

Example 1: Generate site in remote directory

• Generate existing site remotely

poco /path/to/your/site

This deposites the generated files at webroot in the remote directory at /path/to/your/site/WWW

Example 1: Generate site in remote directory and run webserver there

• Create a new site in remote directory, then run the built-in webserver in that directory:

poco -new /path/to/your/site
poco -serve /path/to/your/site
