Deploying Static Website via Google App Engine app.yaml

Question

I've been trying to deploy my website using Google App Engine. I have a domain name. I have a bucket with all my files uploaded into it, organized the way that google wants them. I even have the app.yaml file in the folder. However, every time I try to deploy the app I get this message:

Any advice?

`organized the way that google wants them` - the error message contradicts that - otherwise everything would be working as expected :) So I'd suggest adding details, starting with your `app.yaml` file. And maybe pointers to the doc you're using - so that we can get an idea about how are you trying to do things. See https://stackoverflow.com/help/mcve. — Dan Cornilescu, Oct 12 '17 at 13:57
Try passing the `app.yaml` file explicitly to `gcloud app deploy` - it's not that good at figuring things out all by itself in every situation. — Dan Cornilescu, Oct 12 '17 at 14:00

Did you run gcloud init first? You need to do so first and follow instructions to create a named gcloud configuration e.g my_ga_app.

And then every time before running deploy, you need to run (only necessary if you are working on multiple apps):

gcloud config configurations activate my_ga_app

then the deploy

gcloud app deploy

if this does not work, make sure your gcloud is upto date by running

gcloud components update

Thanks for your suggestions. Unfortunately neither worked :( I was able to initialize my configuration, but it still gave me the same error message about not recognizing the app.yaml file. I tried to update my gcloud but then got an error message saying "ERROR: gcloud crashed (SSLHandshakeError): [Errno 1] _ssl.c:499: error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed". When I tried to run diagnostics, the diagnostic test also failed. I don't know what any of this means or where this leaves me. But thanks for your time anyway! – Margot Shang Oct 11 '17 at 21:29

the error represent a problem with the app.yaml file. here you can see an example of the app.yaml file for static sites-structure.

runtime: python27
api_version: 1
threadsafe: true

handlers:
- url: /
  static_files: index.html
  upload: index.html

- url: /(.*)
  static_files: \1
  upload: (.*)

Also you can follow these official recommendations

*Off course, is necessary validate gcloud to use the last version updated.

gcloud components update

If you receive problems with the SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE please check this question because maybe is a problem with SDK but depend the OS and other variables.
