CS3 DW freezes recreating site cache

I have a brand new iMac (2GB RAM) and just installed CS3
yesterday. I imported my old sites (exported to .ste files from my
PC) and when I go to point DW to my site's files on my local
fileserver (Windows server) all seems to go well until DW starts
recreating the site cache. It counts all the files in the site,
then on about the 2nd or 3rd file it freezes. I've deleted all the
sites I've created and tried to recreate one at a time, but still
no joy. Anyone else seen this?
Thanks,
Wm

Wm,
DW could be choking on a particular file. Try moving all of
your files
to a different folder to see if you can open the site. If so,
then start
moving them back 1 folder at a time to try to isolate the
problem.
HTH,
Randy

Fix: Recreate site cache hang

You've probably encountered the hang in Dreamweaver when
attempting to "Recreate Site Cache" when the site was on a shared
network drive.
Many messages on the net attempt to explain the reasoning as
a bug in Dreamweaver, or an issue with the network, but in my case
it was a matter of the McAfee Virus protection. As soon as I made
the following adjustment, the "Recreate Site Cache" worked like a
dream (no pun intended).
NOTE: MAKE THESE CHANGES TO YOUR MCAFEE AT YOUR OWN RISK
SINCE IT INVOLVES TURNING OFF SCANING OF NETWORK DRIVES!
To fix:
1) Open McAfee Security Center
2) Choose "Configure"
3) Choose "Computers & Files"
4) Choose "SystemGuard Protection"
5) Choose the "Advanced" button
6) Choose "Realtime Scanning"
7) Uncheck the "Scan Network Drives" checkbox.
Happy coding!

I wonder if people have similar issues with Symantec/Norton's
patented "Whole-System Slowdown Engine™"?

Recreate site cache?

Does anybody know whats the bennefit of recreating site cache (via the option "recreate site cache")?

Hi
The 'recreate site cache' should be used when you insert/delete files using your os file management, (e.g. windows explorer) as it enables DW to track what files/images, etc. are related to other files within the site. Without doing this DW has no way of knowing that a specific file exists or not.

DW CS3 not importing entire site cache from DW8

Hi;
I upgraded to the CS3 web premium suite from studio 8. My
site caches were
imported but the log on info for each was not. Is there a fix
for this ?
Thanks;
Pat

I dunno. Go into DW8 and EXPORT the site definitions with
their login info.
Import them into CS3.

Cannot recreate site cache

My templates are not updating the children pages and I cannot
recreate my site cache through - site - advanced. It is greyed out.
Is there another way to recreate the site cache?
Can anyone help?

Yes. Define a new site that points to the same root folder.

DW CS3 site cache problem

I upgraded to CS3 with no problems except I now find that if
I attempt to delete a word of pdf file that I know is linked to an
htm page, DW no longer gives me a warning message. This means that
If I do a sync. any updated word or pdf files do not get uploaded
to the server. If I do re-create the site cache the files still do
not get "re-linked". Anybody got an idea what is going on? I have
an awful lot of pdfs and docs linked from my site.
Thanx in advance

I figured out if I drag the file window to the left it will
stay on the left. I thought
before in previous version when you select files to be on the
left the preferences menu they would go to the left. Problem
solved.

Regular Site Cache Recreation Needed

I keep seeing this problem on these boards, and no response
from the developers. Very sad.
It seems that every few days I need to re-create site caches
for my sites, and every few weeks, DW MX simply won't open. I know
how to fix it by monkeying with the Configuration directory, but
that hardly seems like the proper way for such an expensive and
presumably professional software package to operate.
Does any DW user here (or god forbid, a developer!) have a
solution that makes the site cache more stable?

Where are you getting this misinformation? Lack of
improvements? Good
grief - in CSS alone, there are too many dramatic
improvements to count, not
to mention the server-behavior improvements, the PHP support
improvements,
the overall UI improvements, and on and on.

OK - where is your local site physically located? Is it on a
remote network
shared drive?
> I suspect it may have to do with sharing files between 2
sites
Yes - I suspect you are correct. Give me the details of your
setup for
this, please?

Crash when updating site cache? MM_Username1?

Hi,
All of a sudden, tonight, DW8.0.2 will no longer open or load
one of my
sites, crashing when "Updating Site Cache". The site is ASP
linked to an SQL
database.
Checking the file that the cache gets to, I notice that the
problem file is
within a sub-directory of the site, called "/admin". Thing is
though, it's
not always the same file, but it IS always a file within the
/admin
sub-directory.
Within this sub-directory I altered, by hand, the Login User
code and
Restrict Access to Page code to create and use the session
variable
MM_Username1 as opposed to the default MM_Username.
Could this be the reason for the sudden trouble with the site
cache? I am
puzzled because the site was working fine for a few weeks
now, with this
sub-directory included, and I didn't create the MM_Username1
issue today
either, it has also been working fine for a good few weeks
now. I've also
not added anything new to the site, that I am aware of.
When I remove the sub-directory from the site, the Updating
Site Cache works
fine, so I am 100% sure there is a problem with the files
within this
sub-directory. How will I know which one though?
I've tried this, as recommended by Adobe, but I still get a
freeze-up when
re-creating the cache:
1. Try renaming the Dreamweaver user configuration folder, so
that
Dreamweaver will automatically generate a new user
configuration folder the
next time Dreamweaver launches. The Configuration folder is
located here:
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application
Data\Macromedia\Dreamweaver
8\Configuration
2. Recreate your Dreamweaver user settings in the registry as
follows:
Launch the Registry Editor by clicking the Start button,
choose Run, then
type "regedit". In the Registry Editor, navigate to this
folder:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Macromedia\Dreamweaver 8
Rename the "Dreamweaver 8" key to "DreamweaverOLD", so that
Dreamweaver will
automatically generate a new user settings key the next time
you launch it.
3. Recreate your Dreamweaver site definitions in the registry
as follows.
The steps below will delete your site definitions in
Dreamweaver.
4. Launch the Registry Editor by clicking the Start button,
choose Run, then
type "regedit". In the Registry Editor, navigate to this
folder:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Macromedia\Common\8\Sites
Rename the "Sites" key to "SitesOLD", so that Dreamweaver
will automatically
generate a new Sites key the next time you launch it.
Any further advice?
Regards
nath.

Found it! Jeesh.
I had a querystring value in my UPDATE redirect URL which was
coded
incorrectly!!!
I am frustrated that, rather than just highlighting the error
or, at the
very least, producing an error when opening the specific
file, this type of
thing crashed the entire DW programme.
The time I spent in Notepad today changing MM_Username1 back
to
MM_Username!! Turns out that was nothing to do with it.
<groan> Yeah,
that's right, laugh it up! :o)
Anyway, solved now. A misplaced ", %, ), (, <, >, &
etc can cause you no
end of grief! :o(

CS3 Synchronization Problems (Entire Site)

The following problems occur when I attempt to synchronize my
entire site (954 files) using DW 8 Windows, DW 8 Mac, or DW CS3
Mac. (If I select a group of files, synchronization always works as
advertised.)
1. If I tell DW to synchronize the entire site (in either
direction) and specify that it should delete files, synchronization
eternally builds a file list. DW doesn't hang; I can cancel out of
it and continue to use DW.
2. If I tell DW to synchronize the entire site (in either
direction) without specifying that it should delete files, DW most
often incorrectly announces that no synchronization is necessary.
Immediately afterwards, if I use the icon on the top left of the
files panel and select
Edit | Select Newer Local or
Edit | Select Newer Remote, DW correctly identifies the
files that have changed. I get the same behavior if I do those two
things in the opposite order. In other words, DW simultaneously
knows and doesn't know which files are newer.
Is there a fix or a workaround?

I dunno. Go into DW8 and EXPORT the site definitions with
their login info.
Import them into CS3.

Site cache - multiple users

I'm working in an environment that has multiple users on
different computers that have access to a shared drive that
contains website files.
If I recreate the site cache on my computer does that
recreate the site cache FROM my computer, would this affect the
site cache from other computers that have access to the files?
Thanks in advance.

I think it's a recipe for catastrophe to have that many users
sharing the
same local site. But your best bet would be to contact
Macromedia/Adobe
directly to see what they can offer.

Photoshop CS3 Extended freezes on startup - Windows 7

Hello,
Recently Photoshop CS3 Extended freezes when I launch it on my Windows 7 (64 bit) computer. The splash screen appears but then it just stops working (usually on initializing Tools). It then asks to exit or search for help.
I have read several things so far. To fix it I tried:
- disabling the TWAIN plugin
- resetting all tools
- deleting the Photoshop preferences file.
- deleting my printer from the control panel (some others said printer drivers could cause it)
But all of these did not help. Please let me know how I could fix this. It is not nice having a deadline and not being able to guarantee Photoshop will work.

Thank you for your replys!
@Mylenium: I have not recently changed the graphics driver, anyway, this post will contain some more detailed information.
Since the system does not hang (it is only PS) I could take a screenshot of it:
And yeah, the message from the event log was very helpful indeed, I should have looked it up earlier ^^;

I have been using Photoshop CS3 Extended on this Windows 7 computer for about a year or so. It all went fine, but I got a new Wacom tablet (intuos 5 touch) , and I guess that is the problem.

Site Cache - Large Site - Unbearable

I have a large site, around 25,000 pages. With site cache
enabled, DM8 takes 2 1/2 hours or more when changing a template to
update files and save site cache (around a 158MB file...). Is there
any way around this, apart from breaking the site into multiple
sites to speed things up?

Please make this good suggestion directly to the team -

DW8 hangs at 'loading site cache'

I have been running DW8 on a Vista successfully for several months. Last night I ran DW8 and it got as far as 'loading site cache' and just hung. I've tried rebooting and reinstalling and still it hangs. There was another thread here about deleting files in the configuration folder -- I tried that and still no success.
My PC is a Dell Studio with 8 GB of RAM. I've never had this problem before.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Clay

Dreamweaver CC 2014 crashes when updating site cache

Hi everyone,
I'm using Dreamweaver CC 2014 on the Mavericks operating system for mac. Dreamweaver attempts to update a site cache for one of my sites but then it pauses for a few minutes and then crashes. I thought it could have been a corrupted cache file so I deleted the MacFileCache-********.dat file inside the Dreamweaver configuration folder but this didn't work. I tested again and I got the same result.
I just wondered if anyone has had this problem or whether there's a workaround?
Appreciate any advice.

I do have one workaround that worked for MOST of my folders. It is NOT the best option--but it helped me get a little more of my website recognized. (This is working on a mac with the latest version of Mavericks. Who knows WHAT Yosemite will do!)
I dragged my biggest folders out of the larger 'site' folder and on to the desktop. I ignored them and just began with the dreamweaver site manager--creating my site by pointing to the first few folders that had been listed under 'site'. Then, I added the folders on the desktop a few at a time. It worked until I got to a larger, complicated folder...then it froze again. I worked on this all day-- and I'm done for now. But I'm not giving up. With Adobe, there is always a good outcome. Sometimes, it just takes a little longer.
If I get all the kinks out, I'll let you know. Meantime, the more people who ask the question, perhaps the more likely it is to get a little help.
THANKS.

After uninstalling site caches remain?

I've been having probs with DW8 running incredibly slow on
windows xp sp2.
I did a full uninstall, made sure no virus software was
running on it (which I was told might slow down DW8)
Then made sure there was nothing left in the registry using
RegClean, then deleted the Configuration folder that was left in
the Application Data folder....
I then installed it from scratch. Upon launch it then said
"updating site cache" and it new exactly what sites I had saved in,
and where they were on my hard drive and also all the passwords and
remote information.
Now its still as s...l...o...w... as ever and I want to know
how to totally uninstall it so no information is left so I can be
sure I have a brand new install.
How/why/where does it get this cache information from? Where
is that hiding and does anyone know why it is so slow?
Thanks,
Matt

Matt,
DW stores site info in the Registry here:
\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Macromedia\Common\8\Sites
Be sure to export all of your Site definitions before you
delete the
Registry.
HTH,
Randy
