Andy, Dirk, Christian, many thanks for the indications. However I still have no luck with openshift as whatever I'm doing, the ssh connection does not want to work.
I tried everything including switching from windows 8 to a windows 7 machine, using git BASH, etc, and even using SFTP via filezilla as explained here: (https://www.openshift.com/blogs/using-filezilla-and-sftp-on-windows-with-openshift) as well as following this advices for windows OS: https://www.openshift.com/blogs/tips-for-creating-openshift-apps-with-windows but each time, it says "Permission Denied" or "No supported authentication methods available (server sent: publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic)". So it does not want to "git clone" the application to the local machine via ssh... Rather frustrating, but well, I'm patient and open to any suggestion. > Andy, > > thanks for the interesting link! > > Christian > > > > On Thu, May 8, 2014 at 2:10 PM, Andy Bunce <bunce.a...@gmail.com> wrote: >> Hi Aurelien, >> >> If you do try the BaseXHTTP server route on OpenShift, rather than the >> WAR >> packaging, this repo may help >> https://github.com/Quodatum/openshift-basex-quick-start.
