BlueHost setup in Dreamweaver

I've got a website created in Dreamweaver. Now I've bought a service with BlueHost.com and haven't the slightest clue how to set it up. I've tried the Site Manager in Dreamweaver, but it always fails. Please help.

Ken is correct.
But when you pay for a hosting agreement with a webhost, you ought to receive an email indicating that they are very pleased with your business, here is your password, here is your userid for ftp access and this is the directory you are supposed to upload files to.
Here are the instructions I receive from my host, Inmotion Hosting (whom I do recommend):
Step 1 Build/upload
Transferring a Site With FTP
The most common way to transfer your site from your computer to the server is by using a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) client. Most web authoring tools (Dreamweaver, FrontPage) have an FTP client built right into them. You will use the following details to connect via FTP:
NOTE: All files must be loaded into the /public_html/ directory regardless of the FTP client you intend to use.
Username: arglebargle
Password: blah blah blah
Hostname: garble.inmotionhosting.com
Once you have completed Step 4, from then on out you should use the following details:
Username: arglebargle
Password: blah blah blah
Hostname: yoursitename.com
Step 2 View your site
Until you complete Step 4, you will need to use the temporary URL to view your site. This is because your domain is not yet pointed at InMotion Hosting.
Your temporary URL is: http://garble.inmotionhosting.com/~youruserid
When you have completed Step 4, you will be able to visit your site using your domain name:
http://www.yoursitename.com
Step 3 setup your email accounts
(deleted for brevity)
Step 4 Point your domain name:
If you have purchased your domain from InMotion Hosting, you will simply need to wait until your domain begins resolving. This may take anywhere from 2 to 24 hours. No additional action is required.
If you have purchased your domain name elsewhere, you will need to contact the registrar where you purchased your domain in order to change your Name Servers / Modify DNS. This can be done via your registrar's online interface, however in some cases you may need to contact them directly to make these changes.
You must change your Name Servers at your Registrar to:
Name Server 1: NS1.INMOTIONHOSTING.COM
Name Server 2: NS4.INMOTIONHOSTING.COM
If you did not get this kind of information from your web host, you ought to have. Inmotion Hosting is very good at handholding and also is very good at making sure you are clear on their procedures.
I'll bet that, if you have correct username and passwords entered in to Dreamweaver, you do not have the correct upload directory specified, which is usually /public_html/
I tend to not use the Basic Site Definitions, I click on the Advanced tab. Fill in your local information, including the URL of the website and then click on Remote Info.
Access should be FTP
FTP host should be what your web hosting service provided you.
Host directory should be likewise (but I'll bet it's /public_html/)
Login should have been provided as well as the password.
At this point you should click the "Test" button to the right of your Login.
Dreamweaver should try to establish a connection. If it fails, try checking "Use passive FTP"
The one hitch here could be that you may have a firewall set up to prevent you from accessing the remote site and you can access firewall settings from the Advanced panel. I have a Mac and have not had to fiddle with that.
I do hope this helps.

I am having difficulty correcting the Testing Server setup in Dreamweaver CS4.

The http error codes are 404 (open DW) and 12150 (failed test URL).

I thank you for your help but I don't understand.
1. At this time, I edit the web site locally. When the changes are completed, then I copy the files to the remote (Go Daddy) server, with FTP.
Perfect. In that case, I'm not even going to try to change you to use Dreamweaver's in-built FTP as that will probably confuse you at this stage. In this case, go to 'Remote Info' and make it 'None' - remove all credentials from there - we dont need it configured within Dreamweaver if we aren't using it.
2. Because my edits are local, testing of the files is local. In fact, I normally disable the network connection, when I don't need it open.
Go to 'Testing Server' and make it 'None' and remove all credentials - make it blank too. Since you're not using any 'dynamic' services, we don't need to configure one. Your previews can happen via your browser from your 'Local files'.
3. Go Daddy uses PHP on Linux servers for hosting.
Well, Go Daddy also gives you a variety of other options - but I'm assuming you've purchased a Linux hosting setup with PHP running on it. Let's not worry about PHP here because you're not using PHP to develop your website.
4. Since I'm not adept with computers, computer terminology and computer configurations, I try to leave settings at default.
The only thing you'll need to keep 'as is' is your 'Local Info'. Other than that, remove both 'Testing' and 'Remote' configurations. You should get going in no time.
5. I am unsure of the test server requirement. The descriptions of a "dynamic" page are not clear, to me. My web site uses,
     a. html,
     b. An XML data page for sorting my photographs,
     c. Spry cascading tables,
     d. Scrolling photo thumbnails,
     e. Links to pdf files and
     f. E-mail contact.
A regular HTML website is usually 'static' - as all the content you have within it is 'hard-coded' or 'hand-written' into it. A PHP/ ASP/ JSP/ CFM code is usually 'dynamic' - meaning only the master template is usually made with code. The actual content is fetched from a database or an external source. And to do this (to fetch data from a database), this type of code has to run on a server-environment. That is the only primary difference between 'static' and 'dynamic' webpages. Not getting into the details of it as I'm unsure if that's going to confuse you more!
If this is not clear, please see me web site.

Phonegap setup for dreamweaver cs6 compared to eclipse

Hi, I recently started working with CS6 and I'm trying to setup a phonegap application. I was able to make a basic hello world jquerymobile site and upload it to the phonegap build site and getting it working on my android phone...
I'm new to phonegap... I played around with some examples on phonegap 1.2 using eclipse but now I'm getting back to it and wondering how it works with dreamweaver cs6/phonegap build.
I was following the download and setup from the phonegap website here:
http://docs.phonegap.com/en/1.8.1/guide_getting-started_android_index.md.html#Getting%20St arted%20with%20Android
What steps can I skip over in dreamweaver? Do I need .jar files, or the .js file, or does phonegap build provide that for me? I have all the initial emulators and SDK installed from my eclipse environment, I'm just trying to get an understanding of what DW CS6 phonegap build does to simplify everything?
any how to's from a dreamweaver standpoint would be appreciated.

Great thanks. So just to confirm if your working with eclipse, your typically going and 1
1)      Installing eclipse
2)      downloading android sdk
3)      downloading the adt plugin
4)      downloading cordova
5)      setting up a new project
6)      copy a .js and .jar file to new folders
7)      copy an xml file to new folders
8)      making edits to designated files…
and if your using dreamweaver cs6
1)      (optionally download the sdk, adt plugin)
2)      Setup a new site
3)      Edits the pages to do what they want.
4)      Upload to phonegap build and test?
If so, WOW! I’ve been working with dw since 98 (dreamweaver 2 or 4) and this seems to be one of my all-time favorite features if so!
Thanks

Site Setup in Dreamweaver CS6

I just downloaded my new copy of Dreamweaver CS6, however when I opened it, it didn't seem to give me the option to set my default site location. It is just set to My Computer. How can I change this?

Embedding Flash in HTML using Dreamweaver - stopped working

Hi all, not really sure what's going on, but I've done this many times before and it's worked fine.
I've previously embedding Flash videos I've created in Premiere and/or converted using other software. I simply drag and drop the Flash file where I want it and then adjust layout using code/design etc and that's it, job done. It's always played back fine.
Now for some reason I've tried doing it again this morning and can't figure it out. When I preview the file it doesn't even show the video, but instead displays all the icons for the controls at once in a grid where the video is meant to be. I've tried in IE, Firefox and Chrome, updated drivers, windows, Adobe, Flash etc all to no avail.
I've even tried doing it in a blank HTML page in case some of the template I might have been using was interfering for some strange reason; still no luck. What's even stranger is that a site I created last year is also now not displaying Flash (FLV) content locally, but is working fine on the server.
Does anyone have any ideas?
(CS5 Dw:V11 build 4993, Win7 64bit SP1)
I've pasted the code from the blank HTML page. It's probably something really simple that I've not noticed:

Im' having a VERY similar problem with a few estra 'happy' moments. I have a blog (WP). On this simple and VERY basic blog (with almost NO plug ins) I have attempted to embed FLV videos with CS$ Dreamweaver code.
(This code is different in CS$ than it was in earlier versions as it now calls to the FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf as the player and uses Flashvars to pass the value of the FLV. PReviously, it was four simple lines of code that pointed directly to the SWF)
Here was my process - I encoded the files with AE and Media Encoder to end up with Transparent FLV's. These, I then setup in Dreamweaver so I could copy the embed code. On my first attempt, it worked PERFECTLY. I was testing one particular flv, got the code and inserted it into the blog page with some special CSS to position it.
The movie played perfectly.
Then things got weird.
I was excited I had a solution, so I went to put another video on another page. No luck. The second page was playing the video from the first page. As if I had copied the same code, but I hadn't. I copied code that was 'pointing' to the new file, but for whatever reason, the new file would not play.
I did EVERYTHING. I deleted all the pages and strted fresh. I deleted the FLV's and reuploaded them. I created different folders and put each flv in it and created index.html files for each (assuming possibly there was a hardcoded element in the FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf). I copied and pasted back and forth for nearly 6 hours.
Nothing. Each time I would copy and paste code into a blog page, it would simply pull the original video.
THEN....things got worse.
I pulled one video off of the server, and now NONE work. I can't get ANY videos to play. Worse, I still have the 'express install' link showing.
Ok, so here is what I am trying to figure out;
Does the NEW DW CS4 code somehow have control over the file that is called? Further, HOW can I get more than one FLV to play across a whole blog site.
Here is a link to one of the pages that HAS code but is calling NOTHING. And please know that I have left copies of the necessary files ALL over the server. So they are in the root, in the 'files' folder, in the talent folder and everywhere.
Is there a conflict flash hits when there are multiple FLV's being called? Is there a way to do this? Please help....
Thank you

Dreamweaver template not making changes

Hello everyone,
I have been assigned to a new client and thus "take over" an existing website. This website is setup in Dreamweaver using Templates.
The main Template is using "Param"s to switch the state of the buttons, on or off.
So, I create a new page and link it to this Template. All seems fine.
Next, I would like to change which button is "on".
Based on my research it appears you must do this change through the "Modify>Template Properties" panel. Not by editing the code by hand.
So, I open this up, click on the button code I want to change, hit OK, and I can see that in the head it has changed the Param code.
Now I have the code below.





The defaults are all "true" and the one I just changed is "false".
However, the button state of #4 still has not changed. I have tried various buttons and nothing seems to change.
This perplexes me. Is there something else I need to edit?
Any ideas would be helpful thanks!
Mr Zedd

Thanks "typoman" and "Murray ACE" for your quick responses. I appreciate it.
I was going to post a link to the files in question, but your responses prompted me to do some more testing, specifically to verify that in fact this  code is actually being used.
So, I created a child page and then step-by-step went through and changed the state of each of the 13 buttons. Surprisingly all of the button states changed, except the one I needed, #6. When I changed that state nothing happened at all, but when I changed the #7 button both 6 & 7 buttons changed.
Going back to the Template I found that someone had put in the head code correctly:

but in the body itself there was no #6, only two #7's:

So, once I edited this code everything now works.
Thanks for your input, as it helped me to find the issue.
Gracias!
Mr Zedd

Dreamweaver CS5 slow to open or update all files

Hi all,
I'm experiencing slowness when i open my webiste in CS5 and it seems take forever to save when i make any changes. It used to take place instantly and now i cant get any work done on my website due to the load time. Yet, many times it also stop responding and close out on me when i try to do a live view of the changes that i just made.
Any help and suggestion will be appreciated.

Thanks SnakEyez02 for the quick response.
I've not change any setup on dreaweaver, yet i have start working on a new website. I'm relative new to dreamweaver cs5, and i'm in the process of re-learning this program all over again. I wonder could that slowness partially caused by some of the rss feed or embeded javascipt on this particular website (www.maxdailydeal.com). I mean it's extremely painful to get any work done when dreamweaver takes forever to open files and save changes, yet the worst part when it crashes on you piror to save the changes.
PS. using Win 7, network setup to update website on save via ftp setup on dreamweaver.
Many thanks,

Uploading to GoDaddy using Dreamweaver CS5

I am trying to upload a website to Godaddy using the Site Setup in Dreamweaver CS5. I have the following settings selected:
Connect using: FTP
FTP Address: http://www.godaddy.com
Username and password are correct
Port: 21
Root Directory: testing
web URL: http://www.stateline7.com/testing
Am I using the wrong port #? or the wrong FTP Address? Not sure what to do from here. When i hit test, I get an error message after it tries to connect.
I also posted this forum question on the Godaddy help site, but I thought it couldn't hurt to post it here too.

I ended up calling Godaddy's Tech support- there were several issues, one was the www.stateline7.com instead of godaddy.com. The other issue was my username was wrong. My first website tst page is uploaded and functional!

I Want To Manage may live site through Dreamweaver

Hi all,
I want to know that how can I manage my Open Cart based online shopping site COMPUTER POINT developed in Open Cart with in Dreamweaver so that any changes made through Dream weaver could get online instantly.

That would be possible only if your webhosting service provides FTP capabilities.
If it does, you need to configure remote server setup within dreamweaver to access it, make modifications and post those changes online instantaneously.
This article might come in handy. Take a look:

Dreamweaver dialog boxes

Running a dual monitor setup with dreamweaver cs5 and the dialog boxes refuse to stay in the last place they were placed (or at the least stay on the monitor dreamweaver is in).
For example my dreamweaver runs on my right monitor and I go to select recently modified files, the dialog box for recently modified files options appears on the left monitor every single time. Is there a way to fix this or force dreamweaver to only use the right monitor?
Seems like a bug or a bad oversight. It is annoying having to go to the left monitor when I don't use that for dreamweaver...

I'm having the same issue. My primary monitor is my right one but I keep DW open on the left monitor. I've written several extensions that we used in CS3 that worked fine but now they always open on the wrong monitor. Is this just a bug we have to deal with until Adobe comes out with a solution or does anyone know of a workaround?
Like the OP, Windows 7 64-bit.

A few questions from a REAL beginner

OK, so I am very very very new to HTML, CSS and Dreamweaver and I have a few questions. But before I start let me just state that I have been messing around with HTML, CSS and Dreamweaver for like one week so take it easy if these questions are obvious.
1. Is there a way to create a type of "sign in" function that is relatively easy? Or do you have to have knowledge of many different scripts and languages to do so?
2. I would like to have an archive system where if I post an article on my site and then two days later i post another one it saves the first one i posted and can be viewed in some form over time. Is this possible?
3. If multiple people will be posting on my site is there a way I can have it set up where the articles automatically say "posted by _______" after each person signs in (If #1 is possible of course)
4. And lastly, this one is similar to #2 but is there a way to make a blog type setup in Dreamweaver? Yes, yes i know there is wordpress and I frequently use wordpress but you can only have on blog page per url and i dont like that. I am trying to be able to write multiple articles in a day and would like for them all to be reached pretty easily.
Thanks in advance to the brave person who will put up with my childish questions.
And just so you all know i would like for the person answering these to explain them as if they were talking to a child lol

Heya,
First you have to choose a scripting language in order for one to direct you to tutorials on how to use it. I recommend php as it seems to be the most widely used and supported. Then go over the the Application Development forum since that's where most discussions of this nature reside.
Whatever scripting language you choose you'll have to setup a database first. I recommend MySQL; again as it seems to be the most widely used. Then connect your database to dreamweaver through the Server Behaviors window. After that you can add server behaviors to help in your development. For instance Dreamweaver has server behaviors to create registration, signup, restrict access pages. Then you can have a page that uses a Insert Record, Update Record, Remove Record server behavior to add, edit, or remove blog entries into your database. After that have another page that uses the Recordset server behavior to get a record of the database. You can then display the record on the page by dragging the value of the recordset from the Bindings Window in Dreamweaver. There's also repeat region server behavior to repeat the record to show (all or) a set amount of entries like blog1, blog2, blog 3 etc. There's also a Paging server behavior to automatically create page indexes of blog entries so first 10 on one page with links to page 1, 2, 3, 4 previous, next, first last, etc. to show additional entries on respective pages.
Your best course of action is to have a definite agenda of development goals. First choose a scripting language, then setup your database. Connect your database to Dreamweaver, then add server behaviors. That's the workflow for dynamic development. After that creating your feature is basically only a matter of what server behaviors to use and what queries to run to your database. If you have any other questions about development it may be best to ask further inquiries in the Application Development forum. If/when you do ask in the forum about stuff like this then mention what scripting language and database model you're using.
Oh and also if this is your first venture into dynamic development then do yourself a favor first and setup a local testing server on your computer. What kind of computer are you using? Mac/PC and what OS version? There's different ways of setting up a local testing server depending on your computer and OS.
I am in the Application Development forum a lot so if you have any other questions regarding dynamic application development just hit me up there.
Hope that helps!

Relative Links and Microsoft IIS not working, why?

I've searched high and low for the solution to this problem
and no one seems to give a definite answer.
I have a typical home server set up using Microsoft IIS on
Windows 2000 as a test server for websites.
The typical folder structure of the IIS is Inetpub >
wwwroot > content
Since I am working on multiple websites at a single time I
place my websites as such Inetpub > wwwroot > websiteFolder1
with multiple websites under wwwroot
Now I setup the dreamweaver sites with the root directory as
websiteFolder1 but when I go to use relative links, dreamweaver is
looking at the wwwroot level instead and the relative links won't
work. So incase that seems hard to understand when I have a css
file that is in Inetpub > wwwroot > websiteFolder1 >
library and I want to relatively link to it, dreamweaver is instead
of seeing websiteFolder1 as the main, it is starting with wwwroot
and that makes the file not found.
How do I get the relative links to see the folder under
wwwroot as the root directory instead of wwwroot?
Thanks Much!

You would have to set up virtual sites in your IIS
installation. Google
that term, and I'm sure you will find lots....
