Checking Links on Remote Server

Hi,
I just recently got introduced to the Link Checker function on Dreamweaver. I understand how to perform link checks on local server, but am unable to do so on a remote server.
I want to perform the check on the remote server because I am unable to download the local server completely.
Does anyone know how to apply and use the link checker function on the remote server?
Thanks.

Unfortunately not. DW does not (currently) have the ability to do a link check on remote servers.
You could however use 'Integrity' (if you're on Mac OS) to perform a remote link check: http://peacockmedia.co.uk/integrity/
For Windows, you could use 'Xenu' - Find broken links on your site with Xenu's Link Sleuth (TM) (Not sure if it works on modern OS')
Also, for DW to have this functionality maybe, you could post a feature request: http://www.adobe.com/go/wish

Help! Save to remote server has broken links to all images

Okay, I (now) know this was a stupid thing to do - but surely there must be an easy way to rectify it...!?
I usually 'PUT' the html files to the remote server, once they have been saved locally. But I keep getting frustrated with the uploading of all the dependency files, so... I 'discovered' the command 'SAVE TO REMOTE SERVER' and used this to save my html file directly to the server. I was asked if I wanted to update all the links - and I clicked YES (doh!)
Now all my images and links are broken.
I know it is just a single page - but it contains quite a number of links and images. Also, this page used a template and the image/links from the template within this one file are also broken. (The actual template file and all the other pages in the site are okay)
'Undo' did not work
Does anybody know a quick way to fix this?
I am using Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004
MANY thanks in advance,
Rich

I 'discovered' the command 'SAVE TO REMOTE SERVER' and used this to save my html file directly to the server. I was asked if I wanted to update all the links - and I clicked YES ...
Sorry to say you've learn a valuable lesson the hard way. Never, never save to remote server without first checking your work locally.
You'll need to fix the links. Working locally and in code view, identify the path problem. Do a Find & Replace (Ctrl+F) in the source code. Test in browsers. THEN when everything works properly upload to server.

Check out failed since filename does not exist on remote server

Files are not being listed in the remote site but if I telnet
to the server they are there. This seems to happen sporadically.
Has anyone got a possible explanation?

Hi,
Well, yes I did manage to fix the dynamically linked resources issue. As mentioned above, I did need to mention public_html in my Root Directory setting in server setup (silly of me).
I had tried this at first, but it didn't work, as I had the server set as a test server and not a remote server, anyway, i now have it set as both and all is well.
Except that, the first issue that mentioned is still with me: namely, dreamweaver mentions the public_html in the url path when on live view, which is not correct and I don't know where it is inferring this from. I can change it manually, but this doesn't seem right to me. Am I still missing a setting?
In anwer to the questions:
1) My setting (now) in the Root Directory setting in DW is: /public_html/
2) My actual path on the server (that i mention in php scripts) is: /home/login_name/public_html//path/to/my/file/file.php
[In the advanced settings of DW site setup on the Local Info page I have set Links relative to Document option, although it does not seem to make a difference when I change it to Site Root.]
Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks
Ian

I have updated my webpage - its updated on my remote server "using dreamweaver" and the date has changed, but when i go online to check nothing has changed.

all is connected, dates changed in the remote server, i have cleared my history so that its not just going to its memory but actually looking for the page.
does anyone have any ideas?

I just tried to run your home page through the W3C validator and got this error:
Sorry! This document cannot be checked.
I got the following unexpected response when trying to retrieve <http://www.dsfiresecurity.com.au/>: 500 Can't connect to www.dsfiresecurity.com.au:80 (timeout)
If you made recent changes to your domain name (DNS) configuration, you may also want to check that your domain records are correct, or ask your hosting company to do so.

Could not reach dscc agent, check cacaoadm status on remote server

Dear All,
Below issue, am able to see here discussed previously, but it was not resolved properly, hence please help me here to understand more.
We are trying to create a new ldap instance remotely from the DSCC server, but able to see that the particular remote server dscc agent port 11162 is not accessible from DSCC server. While trying to create a new instance, able to get an error message as " could not reach dscc agent on XXX server, Use the command cacaoadm command to check that the dscc agent is installed and running on the port 1162"
Possible reason which could have
1] Cacao not running on the XXX box
Answer: Verified its status, the service is running and also the particular port is on listen mode
bash-3.00# cacaoadm status
default instance is ENABLED at system startup.
Smf monitoring process:
18452
18453
Uptime: 0 day(s), 0:23
bash-3.00# netstat -an | grep 11162
*.11162 *.* 0 0 49152 0 LISTEN
2] The cacao by default is listening to its loop back address and need to change its values to 0.0.0.0 for accepting all connections.
Answer: We were already changed its value to 0.0.0.0 [ In one thread there was an advise to change to host IP address, we tried that one also]
bash-3.00# cacaoadm list-params | grep network
network-bind-address=0.0.0.0
3] Firewall level block happening for port 11162
Presently we are investigating this part.
But I were trying to find out any other issue can cause this problem? I were able to see multiple thread were pointing same error message, but were not that much helpful compare to our present situation. When am doing a telnet attempt from DSCC server to XXX server, its failing. Not sure exactly firewall is blocking this connection or cacao not able to establish connection from outside. Please advise
Thanks,

For starters try using a telnet from the dscc to the cacao port on the remote server, to make sure you can connect. If you can, I've seen similar issues, when the remote server can't resolve the hostname of the dscc server. Make sure the remote server has the dscc hostname in it's /etc/hosts file, or if you're using DNS make sure you can resolve the dscc, and do the same on the dscc, make sure it can resolve the hostname of the remote server.
Hope this helps!

Check if IIS running on a remote server

Hi,
I need to check if IIS is running in a remote server. This is what I have collected from web, but not working. Even though IIS is running in the remote-server, but this check always saying "Not running".
$servers = @("STGNX150-1")
foreach($server in $servers)
$iis = get-wmiobject Win32_Service -ComputerName $server -Filter "name='IISADMIN'"
if($iis.State -eq "Running")
{Write-Host "IIS is running on $server"}
else
{Write-Host "IIS is not running on $server"}

I get the feeling that IIS is not installed on the server. Get-WMIObject returns nothing when a filter is not met regardless of if it is run against a remote computer, or on the local computer. This could be enough to make some people think it is not working.
Log on to your server and run the first four examples - do you get any results? Then try the following four from a remote computer changing 'computername' to the name of your IIS computer.
#Local
Get-WmiObject Win32_Service -Filter "Name='Winmgmt'"
Get-WmiObject Win32_Service -Filter "Name='eventlog'"
Get-WmiObject Win32_Service -Filter "Name='Dnscache'"
Get-WmiObject Win32_Service -Filter "Name='Netlogon'"
#Remote
Get-WmiObject Win32_Service -Filter "Name='Winmgmt'" -ComputerName computername
Get-WmiObject Win32_Service -Filter "Name='eventlog'" -ComputerName computername
Get-WmiObject Win32_Service -Filter "Name='Dnscache'" -ComputerName computername
Get-WmiObject Win32_Service -Filter "Name='Netlogon'" -ComputerName computername
Also, be sure to try the Get-Service cmdlet locally and remotely, as well.
#Local
Get-Service -Name 'IISADMIN'
Get-Service -Name 'Winmgmt'
Get-Service -Name 'eventlog'
Get-Service -Name 'Dnscache'
Get-Service -Name 'NetLogon'
#Remote
Get-Service -Name 'IISADMIN' -ComputerName computername
Get-Service -Name 'Winmgmt' -ComputerName computername
Get-Service -Name 'eventlog' -ComputerName computername
Get-Service -Name 'Dnscache' -ComputerName computername
Get-Service -Name 'NetLogon' -ComputerName computername

Error testing locally; works fine on remote server

I was about to post that I'd hit an error when trying to
create a
conditional region in DW 8 with ASP, CF & PHP: Training
from the Source.
Rather than paste the non-PHP code, I uploaded the page to my
remote server.
When I browsed to the link, the error wasn't there.
I inserted the code for the conditional region just before
the opening
<form> tag, as the book instructed (Lesson 6).
<?
if ($_GET['error'] == "notnumeric")
echo "<p>*** Error! One or more fields was left blank
or contained a
non-numeric character.</p>";
?>
When I preview locally, the page appears correctly, but with
the following
message before the form:
Notice: Undefined index: error in C:\Program Files\Apache
Group\Apache2\htdocs\newland\Lesson06\Start\newland-php\tourprice.php
on
line 27
Line 27 is where the "if" statement starts.
On my remote server, everything works as it should:
http://www.feathertheweb.com/newland/Lesson06/Start/newland-php/tourprice.php
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Heather

So, I changed the code you had provided and that worked. Now,
I've tested
the form and when I click "submit," I get this:
Notice: Undefined index: nmChildren in C:\Program
Files\Apache
Group\Apache2\htdocs\newland\Lesson06\Start\newland-php\tourprice_processor.php
on line 2
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already
sent by (output

in C:\Program Files\Apache
Group\Apache2\htdocs\newland\Lesson06\Start\newland-php\tourprice_processor.php
on line 4
I'm guessing it's related to the change I made in
tourprice.php. I tried to
figure out what needed to be changed in
tourprice_processor.php based on
that change, but I'm still pretty new at this and really
wasn't sure.
Below is the code from tourprice_processor.php:
<?php
if (is_numeric($_POST['numAdults']) == false or
is_numeric($_POST['nmChildren']) == false)
header("Location: tourprice.php?error=notnumeric");
exit;
?>
<?php
$numAdult = $_POST['numAdults'];
$numChild = $_POST['numChildren'];
$basePrice = $_POST['tourName'];
$tourPrice = ($numAdult * $basePrice) + ($numChild *
$basePrice);
?>

Can't view files on remote server

I have CS3 on my primary machine and CS4 on my newer imac. I am trying to recreate my sites on the imac. I can connect to the server when testing but when I when I try to view repository I can see anything. I keep getting a prompt to set repository settings. I click on the link and enter the ip but I still can't see what's on the server. I only have to upload one file but since I can't see anything, I ended up uploading the entire site again. What info am I entering that I haven't already entered for the site. GoDaddy is the hosting company if that matters. I downloaded their cheat sheet but I don't see anything about repository settings on it.

First define your Local site settings in DW CS4.
Once the Local Site folder is defined, you should be able to log-in to your Remote server and GET files from server.
If you plan to work on the site from 2 computers, use file check-in/check-out. Ensure that you check-out each time or you won't be able to access remote files from your other computer.

Problem in connecting remote server using Applet?

Hello everybody,
I am facing problem in connecting to remote server using Applet in browser. I am using JDK 1.5.0_12 and running the application on apache 2.2.
Firstly I have tried with simple jar file which could not connect to remote server and throws permission denied than now I am trying with signed jar file but also not working. I have changed the java.policy file of JDK in server with grant all Permission but also it throws "java.security.AccessControlException:access denied(java.net.SocketPermission 127.0.0.1:1521 connect, resolve)".
Can anybody suggest me how to solve this problem?
Thank You.

Spry Tabbed Panel not showing correctly on Remote Server

Hi Folks,
Here is something that is bugging me since a few days and I can't find the error or the culprit; I have the same page on another domain on the remote server and that is showing correctly. I even checked with Win Merge and the files are completely identical. It has no errors and is showing correctly on the local server. It also shows correctly in Dreamweaver CS4 or when viewed as a web page in Firefox etc.

Please have a look and let me know what is happening.
Thank you,

WEBSITE NOT REFLECTING EDITS OF HTML FILE THAT WAYS SUCCESSFULLY "PUT" TO REMOTE SERVER

Help! I'm hoping there is a simple reason why I can't get my simple edits to reflect on the website.Here is what I have done/tried:
1. opened and added one simple line of text (with one link to a pdf) to one page of the pre-exisitng site.
2. checked both properties and code to make sure everything matched the preceding, similar line of text
3. connected successfully to remote site through dreamweaver
4. tried both "putting" and synchronizing the file (along with dependent files)
5. the first time I did this I got the message that "no syncronization info is available" from the remote site
6. clicked ok (after going back and unchecking "maintain synchronization information," and making sure there were no sync files in the _name folders)
7. it took a long time to upload all of the files from the local site. when it finished, the log stated that everything put successfully, but the website
doesn't look any different.
Our root folder is saved on our server. We just recently changed web host providers.
Also, for each webpage, there are two html files (one general and then one with a 1, 2 or 3 column descriptor). I edited and put both to the site, but is there
something I should know about these two files?
?? I just need to make some really simple edits and I don't understand why they are not showing up!!??
Any help would be deeply appreciated!!!
Thanks, Jessica

I followed your instructions and was able to see the dummy page in the browser. (no file not found error)
OK - that's good.
I only have one site defined (should I have two - one for local and one for remote?)
Well, one site definition has the ability to contain local and multiple remote site specifications. Under the basic Site category in the Site definition, you will see the path to the local root folder. Under the Servers category, you will see each server that has been defined - usually a Remote server (that would be your web hosting account) and a Testing server (if you are coding a site with server scripting). It's normally the case, with a simple, static HTML site, to have just Local and Remote details in your site definition.
I called our host (Go Daddy) to ask what the name of the root directory was and they instructed me to just leave that blank. so right now it just appears as \
Actually, it should be either blank or "/" (the regular slash).
If you are able to see the dummy file that you browsed to but still do not see changes made to other files, then it must be that the host is caching files on your site. You would have to ask them that question. Otherwise, you should see changes that have been uploaded immediately.

Can I edit a WordPress theme on a remote server with DW CS5?

I'm sure this isn't that difficult, but I'm going nuts trying to figure it out.
How do I tell DW CS5 to open my WordPress theme on a remote server so I can edit it using all the great new features? I'm not using my "real" blog/site for this.
I have gone through the tutorials to set up a local testing server, but I'd really like to be able to edit on my host too. It's got to be possible, but I'm just not finding the answer. Please help!

I use Dreamweaver CS4 to work on remote WordPress themes/sites all the time and it works very well.
I never bother setting up a testserver on my local machine since I work from different locations, so I work directly on the remote server from wherever I am.
I will try to give you step by step directions:
(I am on CS4 so it may be a little different for you but the basics will be the same),
Set up your site with site/manage sites/advanced
For the Local root folder you give the folder on your hard drive where you keep your files
Set links relative to document.
For Remote info set access to FTP
FTP host will be ftp.yoursite.com
Host directory is the path to your theme folder, in my case that is httpdocs/wordpress/wp-content/themes/mytheme/
Then give your login and password and check "use passive FTP"
check "maintain synchronization information" and "automatically upload files to server on save".
For testing server check "none"
For version control click "none"
(it could be a good idea to use version control through subversion but for a one-man operation it may be a little overkill, we leave that for now to keep things simple)
For cloaking check "enable cloaking", check "cloak files ending with" and give the file extensions of the files you keep in your local folder for building your website but don't want to be uploaded to your remote server, like .fla .psd .set .rtf .doc etcetera.
Now you are ready to start working on your theme.
In your files panel you can switch from local view to remote view. You can use the "get" and "put" commands (the arrows) to move files from local to remote and vice versa. I always work with child themes*. So in my theme folder there will be only a style.css file, a functions.php file, maybe some template files and an images folder. I use my local style.css file to make changes. On save, they are automatically uploaded and Dreamweaver also handles the "dependent" files, like images. No need to bother about that, really easy. Use the browsers on your machine to check your site.
The downside of working on a remote server is off course that if you make a mistake you will mess up your site. Luckily, in this setup you can just use "undo", save the file and you are back to were you were, as long as you work on your local files (and let DW upload those automatically after you save)
For safety and convenience, I keep all my local files in a Dropbox** folder. Everytime I save the file, a version is saved. So I can always go back to versions I made hours, days or weeks ago. If you're on a mac you could also use timemachine for this, but timemachine only backups every hour, where Dropbox keeps every copy you save(as long as you have enough free space in your Dropbox that is)
To sum it up:
• Setup your site with Site/manage sites
• work locally and let DW automatically upload the files you edited to the remote server
• setup your local machine so that versions are kept with Dropbox
• work on child themes instead of making changes to the original theme
• use a browser to view your work
* child themes are the easy and clever way of working with themes.

Bdc performance in "No screen" mode, on slow network, on remote server.

Hi,
We have created a bdc program in ABAP.
say, our servers are installed in US. and our users are trying to execute bdc by uploading a data file from UK.
consider that the connectivity(network) between our US office and UK office is not so goood.
i understand that the upload of the data file will take time. but after the upload, for bdc execution, how the bdc performance gets impacted by the network performance.
if we execute the bdc in All screen mode, i am convinced that the bdc will definetly will take a long time to execute, becasue UK user needs to press "Enter" several no. of times, and so many pings will happen to the server.
if we execute the bdc in No Screen mode, does it meen it is completely background process.
i mean in this case also, is the screen info passed to and from between the server(US) and the sapgui(UK).
or
once the data upload is over, in No Screen mode, the entire activity is done in server, and the control comes back to sapgui at the end.
We have put some logs, and we found that most of the time is taken by the CALL TRANSACTION statement
CALL TRANSACTION 'PP01' USING it_bdcdata
is there any other points to improve the bdc execution on a remote server.
thanks in advance,
Madhu_1980

Hi Sandra ,
Thanks for your suggestion throiugh the link.
Had checked the trouble shooting for BDC : but the scenario in which i experienc eth eproblem is little different.
Well the Interface to create vendors was working perfectly in ALL Screen as well as NO-SCREEN mode.
But a small requirement seem to change its execution.
The Interface had a commented code snippet : retrieve email address from ADR6 table. Now according to the new requirement this code snippet needs to be utilized. So i uncommented that and duly passed th etable entries into the concerned screen (the code for that screen aldready exsits in the recording but not utilized since the retrieval was commented)
Collects the email address for any vendor from ADr6 table
Moderator message - Please respect the 2,500 character maximum when posting. Post only the relevant portions of code
now for linking the above created vendor, FK02 BDC is maintained. In this BDC the payment transaction screen is used to link payee vendors (above created vendor) at company code level for any principal vendors (selected from lfa1 and lfb1 table). So only two screens for linking .
this entire code was working perfect in both A mode and N mode but after including the ADR6 code snippet i dont find teh similar execution in N mode.
Could you please guide me where could i ahve made some mistake.
thanks
Kylie
