Host Directory Problem

Using Dreamweaver CS4, trying to upload first web site, having a problem
when I put public_html in host directory...because dreamweaver then inserts
a / , therefore looks like public_html/ and the file will not upload onto the public register.
Have asked my host company for help...but they keep saying I should drop the / and then
everything will OK....but I'm not typing in slash / ..........dreamweaver is doing it itself.
Can anybody help please?
Thankyou

Are you sure your ftp settings point to the right folder on the hosting server?
For instance if I have an ftp adress called ftp://www.mydomain.com but the root folder for my website is wwwroot I should set that directory in the ftp dialog of the website settings.
So the ftp settings of my site will be something like:
FTP server : ftp://www.mydomain.com
rootfolder: wwwroot
password: mypasword
login name: my_loginname

Register Website Host Directory Problems

I'm trying to register a website for ICE and cannot make it
past the Register Website dialog box. The site does not have a host
directory and in DW I've successfully uploaded all the include
files and created the templates, pages, etc. However, while trying
to register the site, I keep getting an error message when testing
the connection "Cannot write to the specified Host Directory" Why
would this be different from what I'm already using to connect with
DW?

Hello Leslie,
I'm sorry you're having problems... I can see that the
InContext Editing files are uploaded to your server. Are both of
these domains using the same web hosting provider?
Have you tried checking or un-checking the Use Passive FTP
checkbox in the Configure Website dialog box in InContext Editing?
When you attempt to register either of the sites, are you
omitting the www. ? (e.g.,
http://www.jwconsultinginc.org/
or just
http://jwconsultinginc.org/)
When you go to one of the websites, press Ctrl+E and login to
edit the page, can you register the website from here? (Click
Configure Website next to Your Account).
Do you have any custom 404 Page Not Found error pages enabled
with your web host? If so, please try disabling them.
Best regards,
Corey

How do I use a specific host directory in the ftp setup?

I am reestablishing links in CS4 to my websites after an upgrade from Vista to 7.
I use Go Daddy and the subdirectory capability. I had a difficult time setting up the ftp connection and saw in another posting that the Host directory should be left blank. This indeed worked. The problem is that I want to control access of different designers to different websites that are contained in one hosting account. When I use the correct Host directory in the Site Definition dialogue box as I did with my setup on Vista, I get the error message:
"An FTP error occurred - cannot open remote folder [FileName]/. Access denied. The file may not exist, or there could be a permission problem."
However, the file does exist. I have tried various uses of forward slashes, in front, in back, and both, without success. I'm sure there is an answer.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mark

Can you verify that your user account has access to those other accounts? Is this a reseller account where you have accounts under your own or is this a dedicated box or VPS where the accounts can be in different directories? Is this a Windows or Linux box
There's a few things that could be going on, but if it ends up being a permission issue Godaddy will be the only ones who can help with that. But just an example of a path on a Unix/Linux environment, "public_html/". There is no leading slash but there is a trailing slash in the path. If you are connecting to a Windows server it could be slightly different, but my only experience with Windows is in a networked/VPN environment so if that is your case I am sure someone else here can help you out.

Host directory fail

I have a site set up with Dreamweaver.
The Dreamweaver remote setup has /mitod.org/ for the host directory.
When I attempt to set up the InContext for this site, I browse to the webroot directory -- mitod.org -- and select that. InContext complains that the specified host directory does not map to this site address.
Dreamweaver doesn't have a problem with this address. I can upload and download files without problem.
The full path is /home/mitodorg/mitod.org/ but InContext complains that it cannot open the remote directory.
Any ideas? I'd like to take advantage of InContext editing.
TIA

Hello jomariworks,
Thanks for your patience. I apologize that this reply is coming so late.
Various entries in the host directory field have resolved this error for other users in the forums. Please take a look at the following thread and let me know if any of them solve the problem, or if you're still encountering the error:

Error uploading in host directory

Hi
I've seen different topics on this but I still can't seem to fix my problem.
Whenever I put a host directory (in my case: www) I get an error message. Please check out the two files below for more insight.
This used to work before so it's a total mystery to me.
Thanks in advance!

Which reader you're using?
If you use GemPlus like, check your opencard.properties and find this line:
OpenCard.terminals=com.ibm.opencard.terminal.pcsc10.Pcsc10CardTerminalFactory
I had the same problem, using new pscs wrapper, because the previous line was like this:
OpenCard.terminals=com.ibm.opencard.terminal.pcsc10.Pcsc10CardTerminalFactory|myGEMPlus|GEM430PC|SHARED.
After I removed the reader definition, everything was ok.
Regarding the second error, check your APDU command, is it properly structured. If you send command, without data, then the command should look like this (without LC):
CLA, INS, P1, P2, LE
Cheers

Specified Host Directory does not map to your Site Address

I have defined my site using ftp in the Dreamweaver site definitions and I can connect to it and upload changes with no problem. I am now trying to setup InContext editing capability to the site. When I go thru the steps to add a site in the InContext Admin section, the first steps in the process work fine. I am able to fill out the ftp settings with my username and password and when I test the settings it comes back that it is able to connect to the site. The next step is where I run into problems. When I try to add the assets I get an error that says "The Specified Host Directory does not map to your Site Address". I can use the same username and password with an ftp Client program and I have complete access to the root folder and all the files in it. I have used exactly the same Host DIrectory in both my Dreamweaver Remote Setup and in InContext Admin. Why does it work with Dreamweaver uploads and it can not be used to register in InContext?
My site is www.sonautosales.com and my root folder is defined as /www.sonautosales.com/
I have included a screenshot of the error message.

Hi Corey:
I just went thru the entire thread trying all the suggestions but
still no luck. The closest I come to getting this registered is using
the following settings.
ftp host:               ftp.prioritysalesandservice.com
Passive ftp:          unchecked
Username:          prioritysales
Password:          ****          (I do not mind sending you the password if it will
help you solve my problem)
This tests good all the time.
Host Directory:     /www.prioritysalesandservice.com/          (This is the folder
name that contains my website and in it is the index.html page)
Image Directory:     Images/                                        (the folder name inside the host
directory that contains my images)
Default Page:     Default.htm Default.asp index.html index.htm index.php
index.cfm
I think the host directory I am using because when I put that in and
then use the browse button to find the Image directory it shows all
the files and folders in my Host directory
The website address is:     www.prioritysalesandservice.com
Please let me know anything else you need, again I have tried all the
things mentioned in the thread and by using these settings I get the
following error when I save:
The specified Host Directory does not map to your Site Address (URL)
THe "/www.prioritysalesandservice.com/" host directory could not be
accessed through this Site Address (URL):
"http://www.prioritysalesandservice.com/"
Thanks for you help, hope you can figure it out.

Host directory issues

Hi
I am doing some very simple changes to a someones website.
I have accessed the FTP and have all the login details and
thats fine.
However im not sure what to put in the host directory as
whatever i save it doesnt change the existing page.
I am just uploading the index.html and leaving the host
directory blank.
I have tried public_html and home etc but cant seem to get
rid of the page!
Many Thanks

Usually from what you're describing public_html will be the
directory to put
your files in. Make sure there's no other page in that
directory with
index.* or default* in the name since they may be taking
precedece.

Host Directory missing from "update"

In the CC2014.2 version of the program there is no place in the "Upload to FTP" box to enter your host directory.
Where is it? How am I supposed to put the site in the proper place within my hosting site, which contains multiple sites?

The first dialog is now for login and selecting the FTP Mode and FTP Method. After the first upload, assuming you choose to check "Save Credentials," only the second dialog will be displayed.
Once you're logged in, the second dialog displays requesting Site URL, the folder location on the server to upload to (auto populated in most cases), and whether to upload only modified files or all files. If you want to change the target host, you can use the "switch account" link to go back to the first dialog.

Host directory

I am trying to work with dreamweaver. we already have a web
site. I am trying to set up the host directory... i cant i dont
understand. I am following the dvd that i bought for training and
in it she says somewhere there ... there is a folder for my web
site. There are folders but i dont think they what i'm looking for.
We have been using front page. then we unpgraded our web site and
start with a fresh site and with dreamwweaver..... i think i am
missing something.

Any folder you have (or create) on your local hard drive can
be your "host
directory"
On your remote host, they will advise you of the "public"
folder they
provide for you
Ultimately, the files in these two folders will match.

ITunes Directory Problem

I recently installed Windows Vista Service Pack 1 on to my laptop. After the install I can't open itunes. Now, I uninstalled service pack 1 and uninstalled Quicktime and iTunes. Now, after downloading the newest version of iTunes...it seems I have a directory problem.
The error msg reads: An error occurred while attempting to create the directory: C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\Installer Cache\QuickTime 7.50.61.0
It was also saying the same thing about iTunes directory. I talked to people from apple and microsoft...nobody has an answer. I need help!
Thanks in Advance,
Adam

I agree that this is a huge problem. If the network directory isn't immediately found, iTunes reverts to its default. There may be other conditions under which this happens as well because it sometimes seems to occur even when the network drive should be visible. It causes huge headaches. My wife wants me to nix the network drive and just put all our music on our laptop--which is not something we should have to do in this year of 2007. They need to fix this. iTunes made my wife cry.

I want to host my Muse website on Dreamhost. When I publish it, what do I put in the "Host Directory" field?

I want to host my Muse website on Dreamhost. When I publish it, what do I put in the "Host Directory" field?

Hi,
I'm no expert in this but I think you:
1) first have to buy your domain.
2) Go to the > manage domain section > under the Web Hosting section Add hosting.
3) Once this is all done you should be able to access your site with an FTP client.
4) Once you are in your directory you should see the folder with your domain name.
5) Drop your published MUSE site into the folder. You should be able to now type your
URL into a browser and see your site posted online.
If this isn't clear... I would suggest going onto dreamhost and doing a chat session with them
they are really patient and helpful!
Hope this helps a little.

What is the "Host Directory"

What is the "Host Directory"?

The above is correct for most Apache/Linux servers. When you are in Dreamweaver and setting up your site to use FTP, the host directory is /public_html/ and you are all set.
It is the "root" of your host, the subdirectory on the server from which an Apache or IIS server is directed to draw the initial or start page of a website from, usually "index.html," "index.htm, "index.php," "index.asp," or "index.cf" Your hosting provider will be able to tell you this.

Don't understand how to find my host directory

hello
i am not understanding how to find my host directory when
trying to connect from Dreamweaver MX2004 to my webspace,using the
remote info page on the site definition window.
Is the host directory on the server of the web space
provider?
And how do i know what the folder it is or how to find it?
thanks in advance
Jason King

Yes.
> And how do i know what the folder it is or how to find

Ask the host what the root directory of the website is named.
It could be
www, or public_html, or anything else. That would be what
goes in the host
directory field.

Applet default directory problem

Hi,
I have a directory problem when my applet write a file on client box (permissions OK),
the directory is always the window desktop!!!!
Is there a method to change the default directory??
Thanks for your time,
JC2001

Hi,
Applets loaded into a Java-enabled browser can't write files.
Sun's appletviewer allows applets to write files that are named on the
access control list for writing. The access control list for writing is
empty by default.
You can allow applets to write to your /tmp directory by setting the
acl.write property in your ~/.hotjava/properties file:
acl.write=/tmp
You can allow applets to write to a particular file by naming it
explicitly:
acl.write=/home/me/somedir/somefile
Use : to separate entries:
acl.write=/tmp:/home/me/somedir/somefile
Bear in mind that if you open up your file system for writing by
applets, there is no way to limit the amount of disk space an applet
might use.
I hope this will help you.
Thanks

How to change Host directory location?(Problems with host and ed)

Hi I'm having a problem with the commands Host and Ed. The problem being that when I run them they send back an error saying
SQL>host
/bin/gnome-terminal: No such file or directory
or
SQL> ed
Wrote file /home/joe/Documents/editfile.sql
/bin/gnome-terminal: No such file or directory
The problem is that /bin/gnome-terminal is not the correct location for my terminal directory, /usr/bin/gnome-terminal is. Are there any suggestions how I can be able to change it? I'm running SQLPlus 11.2.0.1.0 and I'm using ElementaryOS(made from Ubuntu). Let me know if there is any other information needed to help fix this.

This is not a SQL or PL/SQL language question and thus off topic. As it is Linux o/s related, I think it is better suited for the Oracle Linux forum space.
My guess is, from the little info posted, that your TERM environment variable is not correctly set.
