Don't need a web host. Help?

I just redesigned a webpage with Muse and would like to publish it using my current domain and web host (blue host), which is not business catalyst. I also have the $14.99 monthly plan to use Adobe Muse. How can I make my current domain to point to the redesigned website? Apologies if my question is not clear. I appreciate any help on this subject.

In business catalyst, we add a domain name from third party, and re-delegate the name servers to point to business catalyst. I think, your current hosting provider should have the exact details which you are looking for. Did you try to check it with your host, only they can help you with this. check this link, might be helpful

Problem with Web Host - Help please.

I moved our main site to 'Hostmonster'. Trying to set up
forms.
Some of the forms our non-profit hosts send information from
people with
complaints - to Federal agencies that have a strict criteria
for accepting
email information (must originate from the complainer). We do
this because
some people need help filing complaints with the Fed Govt.
Hostmonster apparently will not send ANY email that does not
originate from
their server. (Must originate from
'[email protected]'.
It is vital that the resulting email 'originate' from the
email address that
the user places in the field I label 'email'.
Worked fine on our previous host but we transferred to
hostmonster for less
expensive cost and additional services [unlimited nr of
domains and
unlimited disk space].
We tried hostmonster because I saw someone in this forum
recommend them.
Please let me know who you recommend and why.
Maybe we can get these recommended hosts listed in one thread
that can be
reverenced in the future?

You have your answer from hostmonster. They want you to
change hosts. You
can easily comply with this, and frankly I would do so.

Web Hosting for J2EE - Free All?

I need J2EE Web Hosting (web server, database server,...) to store my site, require free all. Which does web site support it? Please help me!
Thank!

Free hosts are hard to find. Free JSP hosts are even harder to find. Java processes consume a lot of resources (mostly memory).
Perhaps you could find a small group of friends willing to share the cost of a virtual private server account? If its for learning purposes, perhaps your employer may chip in.
Regards, Peter
http://rimuhosting.com - Virtual Private Server JBoss Hosting

Web Hosting for a learner?

I want to start teaching myself the J2EE. I haven't got a server to play on. Should I look for cheap web hosting, buy a server? How hard is it to get a basic linux solution going?

No.
It depends on what you are trying to develop/host. For servlets and jsp's, you can just use jakarta tomcat. If you want to do EJB development, you will need a full blown application server. There are many application servers freely available for development use (e.g. JBoss, HP-AS). Most application servers either natively support or come bundled with a web engine to serve up static content so you don't need a web server like IIS or apache.

Terminal & Ext. Drive Problem - Will Give 6 MO. FREE Web Hosting For Result

Thank you for reading this! I am having a problem with an external drive, which has pictures and files that I use and need! I figured terminal would be the easiest way to fix this, but if someone knows another way to fix it, feel free to suggest that. I am willing to give 6 months of free web hosting from my company to the person who gives me full direction and a working answer to my question.*
HISTORY: On my iMac G5 I use an external hard drive to store files and pictures, etc. This drive has two (2) partitions. I named one partition "Backup" and the other "The Drive". For some reason, unknown to me, my computer renamed "The Drive" to "The Drive 1". I have used this drive for quite some time with no problem at all, but then...
I needed to let someone else use the computer but did not want them to have access to the "The Drive 1" partition. So, I went into "Get Info" for this partition and selected "No Access". It worked fine, not able to access.
When I went to change the permissions back, this particular partition was not available. I saw the "Backup" partition but not "The Drive 1". I tried unplugging and plugging back in the external drive, but still only see the "Backup" partition. In "Disk Utility" I see both partitions, but the button "Verify/Repair Disk Permissions" are gray-ed out (not available). I called Apple's Wonderful Tech Support who went above and beyond to help me out with this issue, but they said it was not something they cover in support.
I am looking for someone with the skill of being able to use Terminal very well. I will provide all information needed to figure out a result to this issue.
In Terminal I was stuck after I typed "cd /Volumes" and "ls -l". I saw the "Backup" partition and "The Drive 1" partition. "Backup" had this "drwxrwxr-x" and "The Drive 1" had this "d---rwxr-x". I understand that "d" is directory and what "r" "w" and "x" mean, but I do not know how to fix it from here. Apple suggested to try "chmod 775 /TheDrive1" or "sudo chmod 775 /TheDrive1" but it only resulted in: "chmod: /TheDrive1: No such file or directory". Please figure something out, I need these files. Thank you. And also, if you know another way to fix this without terminal that is fine as well, i just assumed that it would be easiest this way.
Thanks again!
Thank you all so much!
*I will give the 6 months free as long as the answer is fully answered, and fixes my problem. If more than one person answers correctly, only the first will receive the hosting. Do not think this is a joke, I will give the hosting, but not if I get bad or incorrect information. Also, this "free hosting" will be for hosting through my company (HyperlinkMe.com) and not money for hosting of your choice. If I figure out the problem, I will try to post it as soon as possible. The web hosting package you recieve will be 1 gigabyte of disk space and 15 gigabytes of data transfer. This is limited to six months from day of setup, but can be extended by paying regular $9.95 monthly fee. Thanks again!
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Yes it did work. It was a million times easier than I expected and I got a response a million times faster than I would have ever expected. Thank you soo soo much. This is amazing, a miracle... not to get to crazy now, but I truly thank you with so much thanks. Ok, I guess if you do not need any web hosting, I must repay you some how. So, if you need any help with a website, or any questions at all I would be more than willing to help.
Once again thank you! I called Apple twice and they went beyond support in trying to help me, but they said nope, we can't. So I came to the discussion forum this afternoon and in less than 2 hours I signed up, posted my question, got a response, and had my issue solved! Thank you so much. And please, please take me up on the offer to help, it is the least I can do.

Suitable web host/hosting package for working through PHP solutions 2nd edition

Hi all,
I'm learning PHP and MySQL and working through the David Powers title PHP Solutions (second edition) and I'm a bit stuck in Chapter 4 on the point of where to locate your include files. The book says that for security reasons its seriously worth considering locating all of your includes files especially those containing passwords etc, outside of your server root and then adjusting the include_path.
I don't think I can edit the php.ini file as my hosting package is shared hosting and I can't afford to pay so much more for the kind of hosting package that will allow me to edit the php.ini file, so then I'm looking at the options of using a .htaccess file to change the configuration or using include_path() but my web hosts seem very restrictive as to the use of .htaccess and also I don't think my web hosts offer a folder outside of the web root to put my includes files. One of them has even said "files outside of the public_html will be visible and it will turn up that your website will not work properly or not work at all". This web host suggests alternatively using htpasswd and htaccess to password protect folders containing sensitive data.
Can anyone recommend a good web host and hosting package that will support what I'm trying to achieve working through this book?
Many thanks.

I'm glad to hear that Power's makes that recommendation. It is wise to put passwords and data access files outside the web root.
Have you tested this on your current web host? Using the file manager they provide, can you go above public_html and create directories and add files?
I don't use shared hosting so I can't suggest a host for you, but if it's really true that you can't add files above the web root and you can't activate htaccess files, then find a host that does. I would also recommend going with a host that uses cPanel, just because it makes it easier to move from host to host, and make sure you get PHP version 5.3 and mysql version 5.
I don't find it convenient to put all the include files above the root, just the password and data access files.

A Web Hosting Diary...guide/?'s/Help!

I'm moving this thread here, because it wasn't getting any attention. I had it buried in some obscure tutorial comment section--a niche void of the netherworld. Anyway, I copied it all over because I was tired of listening to myself. My hope is to help those, like me, who are total n00bs to websites and web hosting. Be sure to read thru the post first or you'll make the same mistakes I did! :-). It can be discouraging. Also, I hope to get help from others who have forged ahead, and who can shed some light on questions I have as they develop. Thanks in advance.
3/21/2010 - Swallowed the red pill...entering the rabbit hole...Mad-Hatter driving me nuts!
How do I make the website I created from a tutorial with DW4 (trial version) available to others on the web? I want to host it myself...on my own computer...the same one I'm using now.
My setup: Windows XP Pro, xampp, and DW4. I have an AT&T DSL modem that acts as a router (i can configure it to forward ports, etc.). Also, I have a registered host name with dyndns (example: myhost.dyndns.org). Moreover, I have an update client from dyndns that supposedly updates my IP address if/when my ISP changes it.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but as I understand it an end user types in my dyndns host address into their browser's address bar. Dyndns redirects them to my external IP, which I'm assuming is my router's IP. Then, my router forwards the request to my pc, which is a different IP, right? So, if I setup a virtual host on my pc that redirects any request coming from my dyndns host to a specific vhost folder, why would I need a static IP address? I set one up anyway, because just about every post I read on the subject of hosting your own website said to do so.
I've installed Xampp and both the Apache and MySQL apps are running. I've also started the FileZilla app. I have forwarded the TCP ports on my router (21, 80, 8080, 3306). I have a registered host name at DynDNS.com, and their Open Port Tool indicates that my external IP is open and accepting connections. I have completed all three parts of the "Building your first dynamic website..." This created a "Feedback" website that I am trying to "put" on the web (just to learn how to do it). I edited the httpd and httpd-vhosts files to setup virtual host containers for my localhost and DynDNS host (using NameVirtualHost = *:80 consistent with my containers, and yes I added the permissions directive to the httpd-vhosts file). I did this because, from what I gathered on several forum posts, I needed a virtual container to redirect requests coming from my DynDNS host to the proper website. My "feedback" website functions just fine locally.
In an attempt to "put" my website on the web where others can see it, I setup a virtual host folder called E:/vhosts/Feedback. The directoryroot in httpd-vhosts points to this location. In the DW4 "Manage Sites..." dialogue box for remote info I selected local/network, localhost, and targeted the E:/vhosts/Feedback folder. This seemed to work as the site was "uploaded" to that folder (I could see them in windows explorer). However, I still could not visit the site from the web. Next, I tried several different remote info configurations. The only one I felt came even close to working was when I ran the FileZilla app and used FTP (to configure the remote info in "Manage Sites..."). With the FileZilla admin window open I could actually see myself logging in, but it could not find the E:/vhosts/Feedback folders. The error said that the file did not exist or there was a permission problem. Well, the files do exist (I can see them in windows explorer); and I thought that entering the following directive in my httpd-vhost file would avoid any permissions issues:
<Directory E:/vhosts>
Order Deny,Allow
Allow from all
</Directory>
So, I finally broke down and bought custom DNS services from dyndns.com for $30/yr. This allowed me to register a domain name in addition to the free hosting service I had already signed up for. I was expecting an email with the FTP info for the remote info dialogue window in DW4, as mentioned in some posts. I did NOT receive any such an email. Now, I feel like I just wasted 30 bucks.
I have spent 2-3 hours a night for that past few days trying to figure out how to "put" my Feedback website on the web either from my own computer or a hosting service. I knew nothing about websites prior to downloading the DW4 trial version roughly 6 days ago. I would not have been able to tell you the difference between a static and dynamic site. I've learned a lot since then thanks to these tutorials and moderator feedback, but only enough to realize how much more is out there. I've only scratched the surface so to speak. However, I've been running in circles lately and I just don't understand what's going on. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I find it simply astounding that these tutorials would go so far as to instruct me on how to download, install, and setup xampp, create a database in myPHPadmin, setup local and test servers in DW4; and yet, somehow neglect to instruct me on how to configure these apps to make the site available from the web. I mean, what is the point of creating a WEBsite if I can't put it on the WEB?!
3/22/2010 - Horse bucked me off into the mud...time for a new horse!
Good news: I got a refund from DynDNS. They only offer domain name and host name services--not website hosting! I had misunderstood them to be a web hosting service. Also, I think I know what the problem was. The static IP I set from my router was still "private." I needed to have set it to a public, external, static IP, right? Anyway, I've given up on the whole self-hosting thing. Gonna try GoDaddy.
3/23/2010 - Remember that story about the frog who could only jump 1/2 the distance to the end of the dock? I know EXACTLY what that feels like...
Now, I have some kind of database problem. I was successful in uploading my feedback website to GoDaddy. However, when I viewed my page there were some "localhost" SQL database errors that I'm assuming were generated because the database I was referencing in my site is actually located on my machine. So, I created a similar database on GoDaddy's PHP server, but when I go to update the location of my database in DW4 (double-clicking the db in the databases panel) it times out looking for the server, and crashes DW4 every single time. A window pops up that says "File Activity - localhost" and it just sits there until I close it. Then, DW4 crashes (I click the End Now button).
What do I have to do to get DW4 to use the databases I created on my host's PHP server?
3/24/2010 - Eureka! I'm going streaking! C'mon everyone!
It works! I can't believe it actually works! It's sooooo beautiful when it works!
It was the Test Server configuration! The name is what misled me. I figured the Test Server was for testing purposes only--a local place to check the functionality of my site before uploading it. But, no! It actually determines which Application Server is acting on my website. That's why DW4 kept crashing. I was attempting to establish a database (MySQL) connection to my Host's Application Server with my Test Server configured for localhost! I had a hunch this was the case, but I wasn't sure where the Application Server was located--whether on my Host's web server or on their Application (PHP) server. I was trying to put the SQL connection info in the Test Server configuration box. Recalling a diagram from a tutorial it dawned on me that they're both in the same place! Once I set my Test Server to the same location as my web server (remote info)...voila! The only difference being the pathname: "/" for the test server, and "/feedback" for the remote info. I could then edit my database connection without crashing. I noticed I had to export my database from my local App Server (myPHPadmin), and import it to my Host's App Server (also myPHPadmin) in order for the website to function properly.
So, this experience has raised some new questions:
1. Why aren't there profiles within the site manager that would allow me to select whether I want to test locally or remotely? As it is, I have to go in and manually change the test server to my machine's local App Server each time I want to test locally, and then change it back to my Host's App Server when I want to upload my site. Moreover, I have to edit the database (MySQL) connection to point to a local database stored on my app server to test locally, and change it back to test remotely; which means I have to export the database from my Host's App Server, and import it to my local App Server!
2. If I had more than one test server, presuming I diversified my Hosts to have a backup site ready to go in the unlikely event GoDaddy's Scotsdale AZ datacenter got nuked, how would the website I was working on locally in DW4 know which site to use (from my Site Manager...)? In other words, if I have two test servers in my DW4 Site Manager, how does the website I'm working on know which test server to use? It seems to me that in order to establish a MySQL connection in the database panel, I need to have the correct Test Server configured. But, if there's two how does it know which one to use? The reason I ask is because when I click the [+] button in the database panel it only asks for a SQL server. There is no option to select a site. If the SQL database connection depends on the Test Server, how would it know which one of my two test servers is acting on the database?
2.a. Why doesn't DW4 call the "Test Server" what it really is--an Application Server?! Had this distinction been evident in the "Category" column of the DW4 Site Manager, it would have saved me a 6-day trip to a new dimension of pissed off!
3. What happens to my website when I try to edit the files located on my remote site? I noticed when I attempt to load them (by double-clicking the file in my remote file panel) that a window pops up asking me if I really want to open a "dependent" file. Does this mean my site will not function properly when I'm editing the remote file? Or, does DW4 download a copy of it?

Need details on how to move existing website to Dreamweaver CS6 and to Business Catalyst web hosting

Hi All,
     I need assistance with transferring an existing website - imagessays.com - (designed with Dreamweaver CS4) to my Creative Cloud CS6 account - and to web hosting by CS6 Business Catalyst.
   … step-by-step instructions would be most useful. I've got the Dreamweaver CS6 onDemand book, etc., ... I guess I’m just not enough of a geek to work my way through the steps and to get my site back moving ahead online.
    Beyond that, need advice as to how to repair a couple of non-funcitonal links on the site (check out imagessays.com to see a couple of pics that don't work). I'm looking forward to uploading more content and to do major upgrade to the site, but am unable to do so ... need technical support re how to do these simple (should be) things.
    Since setting up the website over 5 years ago, I have migrated from Dreamweaver CS3 to CS4 .... and now to CS6 ... and from a Dell XPS 450 running Windows XP to a Mac Pro desktop running Mac OS X.
These changes of version / machine / OS have separated me from the ability to do the one simple thing that I need to do with this straightforward website, that is: upload new pitchers and writins .
I look forward to assistance and support for this.
Thanks,
Jim

Can you help me choose a Web hosting service

Just one needed particular GoDaddy web hosting account button link gives error in FF but ok in Pale Moon and IE

Greetings:
I've searched but am unable to find a clue. Using Win 7 Home Premium (updates current) on HP DV3T-2000 64-bit.
Recently (possibly after upgrading to FF 14), on godaddy.com on my web hosting product page, clicking the 'Launch' button throws a godaddy error pg. All other launch buttons operate normally, as do 'all' the buttons (including the tricky one) in Pale Moon and IE.
I have several times cleared the cache and deleted all g-d cookies through options - show cookies; then closed the browser and restarted the machine. I then disabled all add-ons, tried the above again, no difference so have reactivated the plugins (which were and are current as to updates).
Here is the text from the godaddy error pg:
"Error
There was an error in the application. We apologize for the inconvenience. This error has been logged and reported.
Click here to go back to your account list."
The word above [Click] 'here' usually does not work either. Below is the url from the address bar: (When going to the url on a clean new tab, the error page pulls up without the 'Click here to go back to your acct list' ):
https://hostingmanager.secureserver.net/error.aspx?aspxerrorpath=/AccountPanel2.aspx
(However, people without a g-d acct will not be able to navigate to the web hosting product page.)

Hi hedera, when you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
(You also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now")
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first) using either of these. While viewing a page on the site:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
If you can't access the relevant domain without it closing, you can edit the domain at the top of the dialog in order to call up a list of its cookies.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

Changing web-hosts, do I need to save email files on computer, before the MX records get switched?

Hi,
Recently I changed web-hosts and still have my email accounts set up with my old web-host, with the MX records pointing to the old servers.
I set up Thunderbird accounts and opened my existing email accounts through IMAP, it shows all current email and files, that I want to keep.
My questions are-
Do I need to save my email files on my computer first or on Local Folders on TB?
Once the MX records are pointing to new web-host, then add back the files?
Thank you for help!

Providing you can still access the old server and emails are still there.
Synchronise your mail folders to get a copy of the server folders onto your computer.
Then stop synchronising.
go into Offline mode.
Move emails into Local Folders.
emails in Local Folders will be stored on your computer.
When all emails are safely in Local folders, then you can delete the mail account.
Be aware that if the emails have been removed from the server and you synchronise with the 'empty' server, then your Thunderbird folders will get updated to match the server and you will lose those emails.
