Create password access to a site in Dreamweaver CC

Trying to create a password protected site. I have an intro page and want to have a password required to access the main site. I am using hostgator and from what I can see, they only have a username password access. I need just the password access for our members to access the site. I added server behaviors ext to my Dreamweaver CC but the + sign is grayed out. Ideas?

Hi
in addition to Ben's recommendation: The easiest way - in my opinion - to protect the recommended website(s) with a password is to ask your provider for this possibility. I can show you here the menu of my German host (Passwortschutz > Password protection):
Here an example of one of my websites, where I used my providers service. You can see what happens if you don't know the required details:
http://dala-laegret1963.de/AccBlocked/AccBlocked.php. There only these users who know the passwords can enter this website.
As you can see I didn't struggle to write the ".htaccess" file of myself, and here I quote Nancy O's hints:
a secure create sign-up page.  When form is submitted, MySQL database is appended with new log-in credentials.
a MySQL database to store unique ID, username, password with a date and timestamp to measure how old each password is.
another secure log-in page to verify valid username, password and date and timestamp.  If it's accepted, a session is created and redirects user to confidential areas of the site.
a log-out page to kill the session.
an error page for when username & password are not found in database.
a secure new password page for when date & timestamp are too old.
For all these things I use the provider's (ISP) service. The advantage is, that the two files (.htaccess and .htpasswd) are created simultaneously and systemconform.  You will find this offer, I am sure, at your provider's website.
Dreamweaver has so too a very easy server-side authentication behaviors built-in... have you looked at those? (Server Behaviors --> Authenticate Users)

    I cannot create a new Business Catalyst site with Dreamweaver CC 2014 (Mac). The error message states that Dreamweaver cannot connect with server, try again later. In addition, I am also unable to load remotely a previously created Business Catalyst site as it says there is something wrong with my username or password. However when I put my password in and press test connection, it says it has connected successfully. What is going wrong and how can I fix this problem?
    Thanks

    Hi Ozy08,
    Can you try the solutions mentioned in Re: Can't Login to Business Catalyst within Dreamweaver CS6?
    If you still have problems, and you have a purchased version of DW CC, send me your Adobe ID, location, and contact details over a private message. Click my picture and use the message option.

  • How to access a remote site in dreamweaver

    This might seem like a simple question, but i just downloaded DW as a trial, and want to try it out before buying. Now I've done the remote site set up and tested and it says it can connect to my remote site. But I want to now go to the site, log in, and make some changes to the web site pages which are stored there. None of the stuff is stored on my home PC. It's all at the remote site. So how do I edit it? How do I even log in? DW seems intended to work on files on your home PC, and then publish them to a remote site. My problem is it's all ON the remote site.

    Hi Nancy,
    No, I'm not getting those selections under the file menu. What I've done is go to server, manage servers, and set up a remote server. When I test it it says "dreamweaver connected to your web server succesfully". So I assume that the remote server, at least, is set up properly. I didn't set up a "local site" however. Perhaps that could be it? But those choices are not on the drop-down box, even grayed out. If I click on "open" the box goes to my PC for choices. On the left side it has" My recent documents, desktop, my documents, my network (which doesn't lead anywhere)

  • Can't create new business catalyst site in Dreamweaver

    Hello,
    This question has been asked on the forums before but an answer has never been provided.
    I'm trying to create a new Business Catalyst site in Dreamweaver but when I click "New Business Catalyst Site" a blank dialogue box pops up for about 2 seconds and disappears again. This happens no matter where I try to create the new site from.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    I followed these easy steps and it worked for me.
    Make sure to run as administrator.
    here are the instructions.

  • Can't create new sites in Dreamweaver CS3.  Help!

    I am trying to create a new site in Dreamweaver CS3 but keep
    getting the following error:
    "The action cannot be completed because the other program is
    busy.
    Choose 'Switch to' to activate the program and correct the
    problem"
    I have tried every documented solution on the adobe website
    and other discussion forums and still cannot get past the problem.
    I have restarted the IIS server on my local PC as documented
    on the following adobe technote:
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_16485&sliceId=2
    Other things I have done:
    1. I have followed all the advice in the links at the bottom
    of the above page.
    2. I have created a new user, logged into that and tried
    creating a site with a "virgin" environment
    and I still have the problem.
    3. I have gone into the registry and renamed the site
    configuration info in case something was corrupted.
    This removed all my site configurations. No help!
    4. I have turned of my firewall and restarted the IIS
    server.
    5. I have searched the web for anything even remotely
    similar to this error and tried every tip out there.
    I called Adobe and they referred me back to the technote
    above, which I had already tried.
    One last bit of info. I can't create new sites, but I can
    edit web pages in my existing sites. However, I cannot change the
    configuration of the website in the Manage Sites area (i.e. I can't
    push the Edit button).
    Has anyone had this problem? Any help would be appreciated. I
    have hit a brick wall on this one and am trying to meet a deadline
    on a new website I need to create.
    If I can't find a solution quick, I will be an
    ex-Dreamweaver user. That saddens me because I really like
    Dreamweaver, but I have to perform on my job.

    And are you running Skype?

  • Problem with iWeb asking for username and password to access my public site

    Today for some reason anyone trying to access my site is being asked for username and password. I have made no changes that would require a password. My site has always been public.

    I am having the same problems. My site is public, I checked the settings on the public folder on MobileMe to ensure that it was public and did not require password protection either. But for some odd reason, even though I didn't change anything, my site's pages seem to require a user name and password to get into them. If one continues to click cancel, the page continues to load.
    This does not happen every single time, but it happens more often than not. I have tried this with my iMac, Macbook, as well as my iPod Touch, and I get this on all machines. My brother has tried logging in from another location using his Macbook Pro, and he gets the password prompt as well.
    I tried turning on password protection to the site and uploading the changes, then disabling password protection and reupping the changes once again. I've tried uploading entire site, instead of just changes, but the problem continues to persist. I definitely need this issue solved since this site is important to me.
    The site url is: http://www.globalwinetour.com
    Does anyone have any suggestions to rectify this, or does anyone have any idea what is causing it? Am I missing something here? Am I doing something wrong? Please help me out!
    Many thanks in advance!

    thanks

    Maybe use the portable Firefox version on a USB stick if you want to prevent access to your profile.<br />
    Solutions that use an extension can easily be bypassed by starting in [[Safe mode]].<br />
    Otherwise you need to locate the Firefox profile folder on an encrypted drive.

  • Contorl site access with Contribute.. Dreamweaver too??

    I know I can control authoring access to my site using
    Contribute, and I
    do. I'm wondering if it's also possible to add some level of
    security
    for Dreamweaver users, so that certain users can only access
    certain
    folder, and/or cannot delete or edit others??
    While contribute works well for small and individual files,
    I'm finding
    that any time my authors screw up, such as have a page using
    the same
    image 100 times, which then gets turned into 100 different
    images by
    Contribute, it's me that has to clean up after them.. and I'm
    kind busy
    for that stuff. If I could give team leaders Dreamweaver to
    allow them
    to clean up and mass delete some files, but still control
    which folders
    they have access to, life would be easier for me.
    Thanks
    Kevin

    DW assumes that the user knows what they are doing most of
    the time hence it
    is open control. CT assumes the opposite, so the short answer
    is no.

  • Setting up ftp access to my site

    I am using DW CS4 to create 3 low traffic sites and am serving the sites from my home desktop iMac.  I setup Virtual Hosting to allow access to my sites.  I am now trying to allow others to edit parts of the site and I believe that I must enable ftp access to the site.  I have enabled port forwarding of port 21 on my router but I am having problems.  I do the following to check ftp connection.
    In Terminal I enter  "telnet www.mywebsitename.com 21"  The response comes back "Trying (myIPaddress)...
    telnet: connect to address (myIPaddress): Operation timed out
    telnet: Unable to connect to remote host"
    I am reasonably sure that I must get this to work before I attempt to redefine the remote site definition using ftp within Dreamweaver CS4.
    Please be relatively simple with suggestions or questions, I am well aware of the fact that I am a bit of a novice trying to do rather complex things.

    Thanks for your help, I now have ftp access to my site working OK.  I 
    have redefined the site using ftp in the Dreamweaver site definitions 
    and I can upload changes with no problem.  However, i am now trying to 
    setup InContext editing capability to the site. W hen I go thru the 
    steps to add a site to 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 
    either the folder does not exist or the user does not have the proper 
    permissions to open the root folder.  I have attached a screen shot of 
    the actual error message if it helps.  This is the odd thing.  I can 
    use the same username and password with another ftp Client program and 
    I have complete access to the root folder and all the files in it.  It 
    seems that if I have adequate permissions to view and change the root 
    folder with a generic ftp client program I ought to be able to open it 
    thru the incontext setup.  By the way the username and password I am 
    using to try to get this initially setup is the administrator username 
    and password for my server, so it seems to me there should not be a 
    permissions problem.
    Am I missing something obvious?
    Steve
    Here is the error log.  Note:   www.sonautosales.com is the name of 
    the root folder on the server.

  • How do I edit a WordPress site in Dreamweaver?

    I found a pretty good article on how to install WordPress to a localhost and run a site made locally on a test server through Dreamweaver (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/dw_wordpress_pt1.html), but it leaves a lot unanswered. Like...
    1. Okay, now I've built a WordPress site locally, how do I upload it to my webserver?
    (When I upload it to my ftp, it's broken. I suspect that this is because the scripting is set to work on my localhost MySQL & phpMyAdmin and not my webserver's)
    2. If I already have a WordPress site up on my webserver, can I download it to my localhost server so I can edit in Dreamweaver and my local machine, and then upload it later to my webserver?
    Thank you everyone! Your help is highly appreciated!

    i am only new at dreamweaver...however, i have spent quite some time with Wordpress and Joomla website building.
    Plese note... In an effort to explain my thoughts (which if left in their original state...only make sense to me really) i use the term "articles" below very loosely as Wordpress is not just a blogg platform anymore.
    The two platforms serve different purposes. Wordpress is a publishing platform...Dreamweaver is a design program. Dreamweaver on its own, would be a very slow and cumbersome way of publishing articles on a Wordpress site. Dreamweaver on its own, is oriented towards creating the entire Wordpress CMS itself...not the "dynamic content" that goes on the Wordpress Site (dynamic meaning published information that is regularly being added/edited/deleted) .
    What you really should be asking is, "how can i edit/develop Wordpress themes in Dreamweaver?" Now that, Dreamweaver can do.
    Just slightly off topic, have you thought about building your websites using Adobe Muse instead. Its much faster and a lot simpler to use than dreamweaver and a great drag and drop design interface! Almost no coding required. You wold not be using Wordpress of course, and the content isnt dynamic, but Muse is soooo easy to build sites with!
    Could i make a suggestion that i myself have undertaken...Purchase a monthly Adobe Creative Cloud plan(to get access to a heap of Adobe CC programs) + $39US/month Lynda.com tutorial package.
    Even if you just use the lynda training for a single month only (you only pay by the month as you go)...you will learn an enormous amount about the Dreamweaver, Muse, Wordpress...and a huge number of other programs.
    Best money i have spent in Info Tech in a long time

  • CS5.5 refusing to open, launch so can't access urgent old site that requires work upon it

    Dreamweaver CS5.5 refusing to open, launch so can't access urgent web site created within it a while back that requires work upon it. CS4 not open/launch itself either? Therefore can't even export a site file to open up in a newer version but that won't run, support vital menu editing within it.

    Try clearing the program cache and/or restoring preferences...
    Deleting a corrupted cache file
    Restore preferences | Dreamweaver CS4, CS5, CS5.5, CS6
    If those don't work, you may need to reinstall using the Cleaner Tool. That won't affect your actual site files, but you would need to set-up the site definitions again within DW: Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

  • Adding a local site to Dreamweaver CC that is through a mapped network drive breaks ALL connections

    I am using Dreamweaver CC on Windows 8 on a machine that is hooked up to a local network. My site files are stored on another drive on that network and I am mapped to that drive. I have always been able to open in individual file from that drive in Dreamweaver. But I noticed that with one site I am working on, Dreamweaver would hang trying to make minor revisions to the PHP code. It was suggested to me to add the whole folder as a local site in Dreamweaver, so I did. At first I thought it was moving along much better -- no hanging while I was typing code. Then suddenly I realized I could not save the files. I was no longer connected to the drive I was working on. Even outside of Dreamweaver, I was unable to access the drive. I thought it was a network issue. I rebooted the computer and opened a Windows Explorer folder and was able to access the drive. Then I opened Dreamweaver again and the connection was lost.
    To test my theory, I rebooted again, accessed the drive, waited a little while, accessed the drive, then opened Dreamweaver and it was lost. I tried this several times, each with the same result.
    Then I went into Dreamweaver, removed the site from Dreamweaver and rebooted. I accessed the drive, opened Dreamweaver, and voila... I could still access the drive. So I tried adding the site back to Dreamweaver and I cannot access the drive after opening Dreamweaver again.
    Without having the site in Dreamweaver, the files/Dreamweaver hangs EVERY TIME I TYPE CODE. Adding a site on a mapped local network drive BREAKS MY CONNECTION and disables my ability to work on the files. Is there a reason for this and more importantly, is there a fix? It seems like a very specific but illogical problem.
    My next step is to find and install my old Homesite 4.5.
    Thanks in advance for any useful advice!

    I surely did not knowing change anything within the software!
    I just tried adding another site. It seems like it is setting it up and reading the files but then at the end (apparently just as the connection breaks), it gives me these errors:
    Cannot create [SITE NAME].
    and
    The local root folder, [FOLDER NAME], does not exist. Please select a new local root folder by clicking the Manage Sites button.
    (I changed the out the actual site name and folder name above.)
    I believe these were the same errors I got with the other site. At the time I was pushing a deadline and was too frantic to write it down.
    Not that I think it has any relevance, but both sites are Wordpress sites.
    Maybe what I should try next is mapping a different drive and trying to set up a site from there?
    For that error you want you can try mapping it but it seems your sites root is just not defined... what DW is telling you is it could not find the specified folder when its trying to establish the new site. You might want to make sure your folder is there and all the spelling is correct, when making sure go your your Site Manager and make sure your root site is in your network drive.

  • Further assistance on bringing in a remote site to Dreamweaver!

    Hello,
    I have tried to do this several times now with out luck. I have the necessary information for the server (username, password, ect) I test the connection
    and it works. I created a folder on my desktop to be a root folder. I try the "Get" button. I have a few questions:
    1.) I am not sure exactly which files I need to pull from my ftp in order to edit. Especially if I am looking to just edit one section on one page of my website.
    2.) I don't know if the "Get" button is a proper way to do this, I watched many tutorials now and several said this would work but it hasen't.
    Basically, once I get folders into Dreamweaver I can't find the Index (or homepage) to edit it. And even when I do find an html file that says this it shows up looking nothing like the actual page....
    3.) Is it supposed to look like this? (I tried copying the entire site into Dreamweaver just to be sure CSS and all would be there as well and that not only didn't work but the file was huge and crashed Dreamweaver...)
    Please Help!!
    Camryn

    It's a complicated situation. But of course it is not something I want to ruin as well and obviously not something I know that well.
    Must I change this from the server than.
    I was able to connect and bring this into Dreamweaver. It is an Index.php file. I am adding a google adwords code to it. I am just curious because I seemed to have made progress. Thank you for the help.

  • Downloading and editing an existing WordPress site in Dreamweaver CS5.

    Hello! New to the forums, here.
    I'll try to be brief. I've got a WordPress site in-place at metalmeter.com that is hosted through HostGator. Basically, what I'm looking to do is get the site from the remote server and edit it in Dreamweaver CS5, previewing all changes on a local testing server before putting the updated contents back on the remote server.
    Now, let me be clear: I've tried plenty of the tutorials. I've watched hours of videos. I still can't get it configured properly. I've got the FTP connection to the remote server running smoothly. I've got XAMPP installed. I'm having difficulties (and I apologize for being vague), and I just don't know where the problem is located. In my htdocs folder for XAMPP, I've got two subfolders 'metalmeter' for the remote server's downloaded contents, and 'wordpress' for the wordpress installation that every page seems to be pointing me toward. What confuses me is that when I try and open the uppermost index.php file on the remote server, the dynamically discovered content is not being displayed in the live view with my local testing server. I want to be viewing my existing WordPress site in its entirety exactly as I see it online while I'm editing it, and then pushing back updated files to the /public_html/ root directory of the remote server so that I can edit the site from my local client. I'm extremely new to Dreamweaver, so any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated.
    If you know how to do exactly what I'm trying to do and have been successfully viewing and editing your existing WordPress site in Dreamweaver for upload, please take some time to explain the set-up. I'd be forever in your debt!

    I've been following this discussion for a while now and I don't understand why you hope to edit articles from DW.  That's what the WP Admin panel is specifically designed for.  Besides, you won't find your articles in any of the site files because they don't exist there.
    I agree I don't see any reason to want to edit a Wordpress site in Dreamweaver. If you are using Wordpress then you may as well put Dreamweaver in the bin. Although people do actually want to edit and manipulate the design in Dreamweaver (including myself) and from what I've read its possible but I've never found a source which explains fully how to achieve this and those that I have it seems too much effort to even bother about.
    I guess the Dreamweaver environment feels more like home and is more user friendly.
    To put it another way, a typical WordPress installation contains around 800 files in some 80 folders.  Those files don't contain any content, just a whole lot of PHP code.   In fact, the only page most people ever see on your site is the index.php page which is dynamically created over & over by the server with content from the MySql and various include files.
    For sure and that's why people who use Dreamweaver and feel the need to manipulate a Wordpress site in Dreamweaver because Wordpress is 'in vogue' get lost. Wordpress just containes a lot of pages with nothing to see apart from some php, many of who will not understand one jot.
    Unless you're a coding guru, you should definitely NOT touch any of the core WP files as this could cripple your site.  If you want to customize your Theme, look at the CSS and include files in your Themes folder.   See Anatomy of a WordPress Theme:http://yoast.com/wordpress-theme-anatomy/
    lol your not wrong there!
    For a quick tip on Theming, open your remote site in Firefox equipped with the 'Web Developer Toolbar'.  Edit CSS on screen.  Save changes to your local site and upload it to the remote server.  No testing server required. 
    Wordpress is Wordpress and Dreamweaver is Dreameaver. As far as I can make out the two don't mix.
    Ideally you would just choose a Wordpress theme which most relates to the nice site you have designed in Fireworks of which you won't find any however goodthe themes are. Then manipulate the themes css that's if you can understand it. Even for a seasoned css expert its heavy going because everyone produces css differently to achieve the same results.
    Leave Wordpress well anlone unles you're going to use it out of the box so to speak or as a web-developer don't mind a bit of reverse engineering.

Maybe you are looking for
