this is probably too obvious to answer but I would really appreciate
some pointers into docs to find out how to publish stuff (I got an
off-list reply with some hints).

is it expected that I will create virtual server in bricolage http
config file (if so is there a directory within bricolage install that
should/could be used as a default or should it be outside of bricolage
install)? or that I will run separate apache installation (on same or
different machine)? or any of that? how do I tell bricolage how to
publish the stuff to particular location? I guess it can use either ftp
or file copy but I can't find out how to specify either in publish part
of admin (bricolage workspace page).

TIA,

erik

Right.

Well, while you're editing a story, you can preview it by clicking its
URI.

You need to set up a destination to distribute to when you publish an
asset. Bricolage doesn't serve the documents it manages; instead,
they're pushed through templates and written to files, and those files
are distributed to your web server (destination) via FTP or file system
copies.

Nah, it's not obvious. I've had it on the ToDo list for a while to
write some documentation on this, but haven't found the tuits for it.

You need to run a separate Apache process. It can be on a separate
machine (recommended for production environments) or the same machine
(when it's best to use SSL_PORT and LISTEN_PORT directives to separate
Bricolage httpds from your other httpds [this needs better
documentation, too]).

You use destinations to "tell Bricolage how to publish to a particular
location." You have to specify ftp or copy in the destination profile
by adding a "Move" action.

HTH,

David
