Contribute CS3 & Mac 10.5.5

Hi
I am trying to install Contribute CS3 from DVD onto a Macbook
Pro running 10.5.5, and it is not working. The instructions say to
access the disk and the installer should run automatically which is
does not, or access the root applications folder on the disk and
run it from there, but there isn't one.
Thinking maybe the disk was corrupted I tried it on a macbook
G4 running 10.4.11 with no problem.
Is there a known conflict with leopard or 10.5.5
Thanks

It works on leopard for me on my iBook and G4 upright.
Sometimes can get very flakey though.

Contribute CS3 (Mac) Crashes ... a lot!

Curious if there's something that possibly conflicts with
Contribute CS3 (v. 4.1) that could cause it to be unstable. In the
past I noticed it would crash too often during very normal tasks on
uncomplex web pages (saving, etc...).
Just did a full reformat/reinstall of all the original
software on my Macbook Pro - everything (including Contribute)
seemed to be running great up until just a few hours ago - it
crashed at least 5 times in about two hours! First couple times I
restarted the system, then when it kept crashing, I would just hit
&quot;reopen&quot; and it would, and I would keep
working.
Any idea why this is happening so often? I don't have any
unusual software on my system.
[]Creative Suite 3 Web Premium
[]Office X
[]Final Cut Pro/DVD Studio Pro
[]Fetch
[]A Better Finder Rename
[]Canon Powershot software
That's about all I've put on so far.
Anyone experience Contribute being very unstable? Ideas
why?

Yes, there is definitely something unstable. Reinstalling on
a fresh hard drive (so no old preferences) did not make these
crashes go away.
Adobe... you've got stability problems here.

Contribute CS3 Can't Edit Roller Blog

I'm just starting to use Contribute CS3 (Mac) to see if I
want to use it vs. Ecto that use now for my Blog. The server is
Apache Roller Weblogger v 4.0-dev. I setup my blog using Other Blog
Server options using an access point of
http://<my
domain>/roller-services/xmlrpc. This is the same AP that Ecto
uses which works.
It looks like I'm connected ... when I go to choose File or
Blog Entry my blog appears I click on open and it shows my blog
pages (BTW I'm using
one of the roller themes for my page). I select the page I
want to edit then click on edit and nothing happens???
What's the trick to this?

Roller is supported in CS3. Your access point looks ok. I
enter access point as "
http://<server-name>:<port>/roller/xmlrpc"
..Please check if your access point is correct. If your access
point is correct and you still face problem, can you please send me
your roller server details(access point, username and password) on
lkaur(at)adobe.com . Your details will be kept confidential. I
would be more than happy to help you out for same.

Contribute CS3 not working with Leopard

Hi,
Ever since I loaded Lopard onto my Mac - Contribute won't
connect to any of my websites.
Says it can't connect 'because the server is down or not
accepting connections.'
Is anyone else having this issue - and does anyone know the
cure?
I've re-installed - but still won't work.
Thanks,
- Greg

This issue has been reported couple of time in this thread, i
was able to get the site info twice from the users and for one site
it was not connecting from the Tiger itself because of the site
issue and for the next one it was working from the 3 leopard test
machines we tried.
We have tested Contribute CS3 on Leopard and it works fine.
In case if the user is hitting any issue then it is important to
reproduce it then only we nail it down.
I do understand that you may not like to give the information
and for that only the second option is:
1. One test folder inside the site
2. One test role and a test user under the same role
3. Provide the access to the user only to that folder by
administering the site -> Select the role->Edit Role
settings->Folder File Access->Only allow editing within these
folders -> Add the test folder in the list
In this case i will be having the access to only one
particular folder which you can very well delete later on.

Contribute CS3 locks up iMac

Hi,
I have a friend who had been using the Mac version of
Contibute 3, then upgraded to Contribute 4 and now upgraded to
Contribute CS3. Here problem began about 8 months ago and she has
been on the phone with Adobe support for hours with no resolution
to fixing it. Her basic problem is that she can edit find but when
she goes to Publish her site, he computer locks up and she has to
unplug everything in order to get out of it. She uses Road Runner
connecting through a Linksys router and has to unplug these 2
devices to get her computer to boot again. Any idea what might be
happening with all of this. I don't use Contribute but I know that
there is a solution for her problem - anyone can give point me in
the right direction or a way to resolve this? She likes Contribute
since it's so easy to use. I tried to get her to use Go Live but
she didn't like it as much. Any input greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
David

Hi again,
I did find out that my friend's problem is somehow connected
to the way Contribute connects to the internet. When I plug her
iMac directly into her cable modem, Contribute CS3 works
flawlessly. When I connect it to her Linksys router, it bombs her
computer everytime she tries to publish a page. Any ideas greatly
appreciated.

Contribute CS3 incompatible with Dreamweaver CS3

All my Conribute connections no longer work with DW CS3 &
CT CS3. Why?
1. I have correctly set up a remote connection in Contribute.
The contribute connection to the website IP is established.
2. The FTP connection from DW to the website IP is also
correctly established and working.
3. The connection information is identical for both
applications and verified.
4. PROBLEM: When trying to set up the Contribute connection
from within DW, the following error msg appears: "Dreamweaver could
not connect to the remote server. You cannot perform Contribute
administration tasks without a connection to the remote server.
Please fix the remote connection before proceeding."
5. NOTE: When the "Administer Site in Contribute" (or Test)
button is clicked in DW, it appears that several files are being
loaded to the remote server before the error message appears.
Subsequent attempts at clicking the buttons seems to load more
files. Very weird.
6. FACTS: There is no problem with the remote connection from
either DW or CT.
QUESTION: What's up with this message? Why is there a failure
to communicate between these two application that wasn't there
before?
Thanks in advance for any assistance,
Chris Kane

Have you found an answer for this. I am in a similar
situation, in CS3 Mac. If I use www.mysite.com/www, which is the
folder for ftp purposes, I get:
Dreamweaver could not find a page at the specified site root
URL. Please check the site root URL.
If I just go to the main url, www.mysite.com, I get:
Dreamweaver could not connect to the remote server. You
cannot perform Contribute administration tasks without a connection
to a remote server. Please fix the remote connection before
continuing.
I've tried it on another site I administer and it worked
fine, so I'm wondering if it's something to do with the
configuration of the server, but my hosts haven't got any answers
either...
Any pointers gratefully received.

Contribute CS3 managing iWeb site

I am trying to get Contribute CS3 to manage an iWeb site. Right after selecting a .mac website, and hitting Continue, it hangs...
I suspect the problem lies somewhere in iDisk, or iWeb, but I can't find a solution on the Adobe site or anywhere in .Mac.
Any ideas?
Sean

My recollection is that Contribute just does not support managing an iWeb site, only a Homepage site.

Contribute CS3 Hang in Windows

Contribute CS3, running Windows XP, I have this on two separate installations. Website admin info is properly configured. I always have to do the "Connect" option, yet on other machines I go directly to "Edit page". Machines are running on a local Windows 2000 Domain server, but only for a file sharing server. Logon as administrator or user has no effect on the problem.
When I hit CONNECT, I often get a complete hang that never clears. Contribue.exe will go to 50% CPU and stay there, it never goes to "Not Responding". Almost 100% of the time this will occur. Uninstall/reinstall has not effect, and again, I just configured an entirely new Win XP install and a fresh CS3 install and have the same problem.
There was another thread that talked about this on the Mac and linked to a forum article that no longer exists. Would appreciate any ideas or help with this.

I installed the entire CS3 and CS4 suites in Win7 but I only briefly tested them. Everything started up okay. As with Vista 64 it's vital that you accept the default installation path and even more important to remember that you'll be on your own as far as support.

Edit blog with Contribute CS3

Hi, i've made my web site using iWeb and uploaded it to my iDisk using iWeb
I have a blog page made with iWeb
can I use Adobe Contribute CS3 to modify and create blog entries on my site?
I ask because I have a friend who i'd like to have a blog on the site but don't want to hassle of syncing two different copies of iweb
any help appreciated, D

contribute seems to be able to connect to your .mac web hosting
My impression is that it cannot connect to the space used by iWeb, only to iDisk/Sites, used by Homepage. Is that right?
any ideas on how to edit iweb blogs without using iweb? i know its a tough one
I can't imagine there is any practical way to do this. You should use blogger or some other blogging system if you need that capability.

Contribute CS3 not working

Hi everyone!
I've been trying to set up Contribute CS3 demo on my computer
(Mac) with no success. I already lost five days of the demo because
of this.
Everytime I try to open ContributeCS3, an error message
saying "Contribute was unable to go to the web adress you
specified. file doesn't exists (Error -1100)"
What web adress? I didn't even start using it!!!
Can you help me?
Thanks a lot.

Contribute CS3 compatibility with Dreamweaver MX 2004

I haven't upgraded my Dreamweaver MX 2004 to 8 or CS3 - I
mostly handcode XHTML / CSS ... I have a client who is ideal for
Contribute for the content management needs, but I want to make
sure that I won't be forced into a manditory upgrade situation for
myself to both Dreamweaver CS3 and Contribute CS3 in order to
support them (and I've used Contribute 2 with older clients for a
while).

Have you found an answer for this. I am in a similar
situation, in CS3 Mac. If I use www.mysite.com/www, which is the
folder for ftp purposes, I get:
Dreamweaver could not find a page at the specified site root
URL. Please check the site root URL.

Help with Contribute CS3

I'm working for a gallery with Contribute CS3, and we have recently had the Mac updated to Mountain Lion. Unfortunately, Contribute will no longer open. When I try to launch the program, a dialog box pops up and reads "No Document types have been found. The application will exit now." To add fuel to this fire, no one here seems to be able to locate the original install discs. Is this something I can fix, or is it time to update the program entirely?
Thanks in advance,
Melanie Davis

I don't think that CS3 is going to run on Mountain Lion. You'll probably need to upgrade at this point.

Adobe Contribute CS3 Connection Error

I am trying to use Adobe Contribute CS3 Version 3.1 to connect our web server. I can use WS_FTP and WinSCP to connect to it fine. Our web server is running under CentOS 5.x. When I try to connect using the connection wizard in Contribute, I receving the following error:
Contribute cannot verify your connection information.
/tmp
Please contact your administrator for assistance.
I have tried both FTP and SFTP. Again, I can login, navigate to /tmp and upload, download, and delete files fine using WinSCP. Can someone let me know what Contribute is trying to do to verify the connection? Is there a log file? Any help is appreciated.

When I first tried to connect to our web server, I received a similar error. What worked for me was getting rid of the folder designation when trying to connect in Contribute (in your case /tmp) and allowing users to have permissions to access all folders on the web server. I create Contribute roles to limit the users to specific folders.
I hope that helps.

Dreamweaver MX 2004 with Contribute CS3

Good Afternoon,
I have Adobe CS3 Web Premium edition, but a colleague located
interstate is using DreamWeaver MX 2004. I would like him to design
a dreamweaver template for use in Contribute CS3. Are there any
known compatibility issues with doing this, or any DreamWeaver CS3
features that we would maybe miss out on?
Thanks in advance!

I don't think this would be a problem, since you can
administer the site from within Contribute. The template souirce
code hasn't changed, so Contribute will find the templates and the
editable regions.
You could always decide to turn of the compatiblity in
dreamweaver if there are problems with the cheking in and out
system.

How do I browse directory contents in Contribute CS3?

Hi everyone!
I have one of our users uploading photos to our website. At the moment she uses an FTP connection via Adobe Contribute CS3 to our web server. This has worked great in the past. However, at the moment she's uploading pictures to a dynamic website [Wordpress] and not using Contribute to edit the pages directly [as this is obviously done with the Wordpress Administration web panel]. The method she has been using is, within Adobe Contribute CS3, File>Publish File from My Computer. This is great, but the problem is that she can only upload one file at a time, and if she's already uploaded the file, she has no way of knowing she's uploaded it before, except for that Contribute appends a 001 at the end of the file name.
How can she access a folder structure within Contribute CS3, treating it like an FTP client? I'm sure this must be doable. Yes, I could install an FTP client, but she's very comfortable using Contribute CS3 and uses this application for other portions of the website which are static.
Thanks in advance for any advice!

Hi,
To check if she's already uploaded the file, she can click the Choose button in Contribute. On clicking Choose button, Choose File dialog will be shown. In this dialog, she can browse to the appropriate folder in which she had published the images, and verify the contents.
For uploading multiple files through Publish File from my Computer, I do not think it is possible as of now. There can be a workaround though, insert all the images you want to a web page, and publish the web page to the website. Then, all the images will be published along with the web page. Then, you can delete that web page.
Note: The images in a web page, generally are placed in the 'images' directory of the website by Contribute. If you are placing the images in different folder, then, make sure that you change the publish folder for images to that folder.
