ASR Deployment Successful but what next?

Configured the ASR server and then deployed the Web Project successfully.Documentation states that a folder with "live" appended to the Web Project name will be created in the AVM Folder on the ASR server machine.This is what deployment reports shows when i deploy on a Live server hosted on another

Deployment to an ASR deploys to an AVM store which will typically be used to support a web site. Your web app will typically query this AVM store for run time information.

If you want to "see the files" you will typically use an FSR to deploy your static assets to a filesystem and then point a web server at your files. And your webapp will typically loop back using web scripts or other protocol to do things like full text queries.

Thanks mrogers for the reply.

Is there a particular directory which i should be querying to access the webapp? That is precisely the reason i wanted to know where the files actually get deployed to.

Now that the webapp is successfully deployed (on ASR), how will i be able to see the files through a web browser?

The short answer is that you don't access an AVM store via a web browser.

You can access the store through a browser by using the virtualisation server and also CIFS. But for performance reasons this is not the way to go to run your production application.

I have been using CIFS, but the "deployed files" are not visible through it.
That is what my first post was about.

That can be put to background for the time being.
This is what the main issue right now is….

I have "successfully deployed" the webapp to another ASR machine. (as displayed in Alfresco)
Now, What is the next step?
How will i be able to use/see/query/browse the "deployed files"?
