How to change the local folder for an App Engine project?

TIA for your help.

I recently started experimenting with Google App Engine, and I have been able to set up a project successfully.

However, I made a mistake with the location of my local files and I would like to change it.

This is the output from my console when I deploy:

jnkrois@dev:~/Development/My_Project$ gcloud app deploy Initializing App Engine resources...done.
You are about to deploy the following services:
My_Project/default/1234567890 (from [/home/jnkrois/Development/My_Project/app.yaml])

Notice that the local folder is /home/jnkrois/Development/My_Project/app.yaml

I want to change the gcloud settings in order to pull the files from my /var/www/html/My_Project/

That way I can run the project locally via my Apache server.

Thanks for your help.

In the vast majority of cases you won't be able to run your GAE project through apache. Except, maybe, for a totally static website with a very particular config.

The proper way to run your GAE project locally is using the development server, see Using the Local Development Server

But to answer your question - there is no extra dependency of the project outside the project directory, so just move the project directory to where you want (up to you to check address any permission issues, assuming all permissions are met in the example below) and run the gcloud cmd from the new project location:

mv /home/jnkrois/Development/My_Project /var/www/html
cd /var/www/html/My_Project/
gcloud app deploy

Again, donno if this will help you run it through apache or not.
