Dreamweaver CC 2014.1 sharing violation with CSS files

I am getting the following error while working with a CSS file in Dreamweaver:
Encountered a sharing violation while accessing:
c:\<path to file>\css\style.css
I have searched and tried a range of difference fixes - but no fix has worked as yet, and many of the solutions don't apply to my situation. This just keeps occurring when I access certain CSS files.
The CSS files are part of a web app that gets run using a local server - and when the server is running I can save the CSS file a couple of times, then after a few saves (and refreshes of the browser to see my changes) I get this sharing violation and can no longer save changes to the file.
I have installed various locked file inspection apps to find out what is locking the file and to see if I can force it close - but all the apps I have tried report the file as not being used or locked. Therefore none of these apps have enabled me to "unlock" the file to then save changes.
But if I copy and paste the contents into any other editor like Sublime Text 2, Notepad, Notepad++ then I can save the CSS file no worries. When I flick back to Dreamweaver, it prompts me saying "The file has been modified outside Dreamweaver" - so I choose to reload the file and I try and make a change and save it and I am back to encountering a sharing violation again.
If I stop and restart the server (which takes about 2 minutes - so not a viable fix) I can get access to the CSS file in Dreaweaver again, but a few saves and refreshes of the browser and it reports it as locked again. I think Dreamweaver is falsely reporting this violation. Because every other application I have tested (Notepad, Notepad++, Sublime Text 2 - even Microsoft Word!!!) has no issues accessing the file, just Dreamweaver.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Mark

Have you tried changing the DW settings to look like this:
You want to remove the Check in/Check out stuff because it is for people working in groups and making changes independently. Make sure you click on the APPLY button after the changes and perhaps close and restart the DW.
Good luck.

Fix for Dreamweaver CC 2014.1 JavaScript Error With All ASPX Files

Entire morning wasted.
Adobe's upgrade to Dreamweaver 2014 to 2014.1 on Windows 7 Professional has broken the product across the board and it no longer opens any .aspx pages correctly. A large number of people use .NET and now we can no longer access/use these files/pages without multiple JavaScript errors. Particularly those that have edited the MMDocumentTypes file to make the product work in the first place since they stopped supporting the users that develop in ASP.NET.
Every time a .aspx file is now opened, the following JavaScript error is received: "While executing translateCustomControl in ExternalRenderers.html, a JavaScript error occurred. Click 'close' and it appears again...over and over. Our sites are all unable to open in DW because of this. It worked fine in earlier versions of DW, including 2014. It's only 2014.1 that broke everything.
The fix for this:
1. Follow instructions on this out-of-date help file: Change, add recognized file extensions | Dreamweaver
2. (and the part that's new): The MMDocumentTypes file is located in C:\Users\*your username*\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CC\Configuration\DocumentTypes directory. Open that file and add aspx back to the <documenttype id="HTML"> declaration at the top.
I am posting this issue here in hopes that some of the users won't waste most of the day trying to figure this out.

Hi Ivan,
I'm having that exact same problem now...in addition to that JavaScript error message coming back. I submitted a bug report last week about this and received the following reply:
Hi Chris,
We would like to let you know that we able to reproduce this issue at our end. Thanks for reporting this.
We will try to prioritize it for fixing. This might take some time. We thank you for your patience with us in this regard.
Please let us know if you need help regarding anything else. We will be more than happy to help you.

Hopefully they can get this fixed soon, as it's ground my work in the software to a halt.

Problem with CSS files when placed in multiple locations.

Hi,
In our application we have a folder structure for the code files. Folder structure looks something like the one shown below:
ABC
---Scripts
---Stylesheets
DEF
Scripts
Stylesheets
Common
---Scripts
---Stylesheets
The problem is, if we create a CSS file and place it in its module specific folder (Eg: ABC) to which it belongs to and call the CSS on a page, then the styles are not getting applied to the page. But if we move the stylesheet to the Common folder, then page renders properly. In common folder, we already have a common CSS which is used across the project.
Facing similar problem with module specific and common js files.
We have to move all the module specific files to the module folders and all the common files to be placed in the Common folder.
MII Version: 11.5
Please help!
Regards,
Rajesh.

Rajesh,
Also note that, If your html is referencing to multiple css files then the last referenced CSS file style classes will override all the style class having same names in the previous css files.
for example,
say CSS1 has
.bodycolor
background-color:yellow;
.button
color:red;
h1
font-size:50pt;
and CSS2 has
.bodycolor
background-color:red;
.button
color:yellow;
And your HTML is,
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css1.css"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css2.css"/>
<title>CSS Test</title>
</head>
<body class="bodycolor">
<h1>Hello World</h1>
<input type="button" class="button" name="B1" id="B1" value=" Click " size="50">
</body>
</html>
In this case the classes "bodycolor" and "button" will be overridden by css2 file but h1 will be taken from css1
Hope this helps!!

hi
what do you mean by current url? If url of current page is not what you are looking for, then is it url of current site?
As you use app, I guess you are working with Sharepoint Online and can't use server side code? If this is the case, then check the following post:
How to get URL of current site collection and other server side properties on client site in Sharepoint. Briefly you need to use OTB _spPageContextInfo object and set href attribute of your link in javascript:
<ul>
<a id="foo">Link</a>
</ul>
<script type="text/javascript">
document.getElementById("foo").setAttribute("href", _spPageContextInfo.siteAbsoluteUrl);

Newbie - Dreamweaver CC 2014 - Document Scan - Get Save Path/File

Hi,
I've been a programmer for a long time but have done very little web development. Last time I touched dreamweaver has to be 10 years ago. A company I'm working with is developing a web front end for their system. In their existing system, they are able to scan a document by pressing a button in the application. The button push scans the document and open Acrobat Pro. When the user saves the PDF, they are able to get the path where the user saved the file as well as the file name and then they store that information in the DB of previously mentioned system. From the application they are hitting a TWAIN driver to invoke the scanning (if I understood correctly). The scanner I saw this done with is an EPSON GT-S50 and I believe they are programmatically reading the registry to get the last 15 files that were saved and determining the path and file name from there.
Since they are now developing a web front end over the existing business logic, there are some things they have asked me to figure out. The first of which is how to duplicate what I mentioned above in a web front end. That being said, here's what I need to do:
- Add a button labeled "Scan" to a web page with Dreamweaver that will invoke the scan process of the EPSON Scanner.
- Have that scanned document open in Acrobat.
- On save of the document in Acrobat, I need to get the path and file.
- Add a button to view the file labeled "View".
- On select of the "View button", I need to display the PDF on the same web page.
I've done a bunch of reading so far and I haven't quite found what I need. If you can help point me in the right direction or have done something similar or even if you just want to offer moral support (haha) please let me know. I'll respond as quickly as possible to additional questions, I need to move on this...
Thanks,
Rob

Hi Nancy,
Thank you for responding. I guess the environment would be helpful.. (Sorry) . The web front in will be on servers in one of the major clouds (AWS/Rackspace/etc) and the DB's will be on other servers in the cloud while the servers will be at the customer's offices. So yeah, it is complicated. What I'm trying to come up with is way to do it without tying the end customer to have to marry their network to the cloud network or forcing them to use RDP or Citrix etc.. Trying to come up with the most flexible option. One other thing they are shooting for is mobile compatibility. I just started working on this with them, I wasn't involved in the meetings along the way...
Thanks,
Rob

Dreamweaver sharing violation on save after previewing file

Hi all,
First, have I mentioned that I LOATH Windows Vista with every
fiber of my
being!
On to the problem at hand.
I'm in Dreamweaver and I edit, then preview a file. Next I
edit it some more
and then try to save it - but cant. I get an alert stating
that there is a
sharing violation because the file is being used by another
program, and it
just stays this way, even if I shut the browser down. even if
I restart
Dreamweaver it's still locked. The only way I can get it to
let go is to
totally reboot!
Has anyone else run into this? Found a solution?
Thanks for your help.

How to overcome sharing violation???

hi all,
i have a database file that is displayed in the browser, when i close the connection and replace the database file with a new one, i get a sharing violation error, the file is still in use .
is it possible to overcome the sharing violation? Does it mean that the file is still being locked??

I have only one dbf file and a type 4 JDBC driver used to establish a connection to it,
The browser displays the content of the dbf file, when the browser is still active, i want to copy a new dbf file to overwrite the original file, and it says a sharing violation.
I dont understand why the JDBC-ODBC bridge doesnt have such problem, i can overwrite the dbf file when the browser is still active.
Does it mean that the table ( which is the dbf file here) is still locked?
When can be the lock released?
i use the code con.close to close the connection and set it to null con=null
Thanks

DFSR - backlog and sharing violations

Hi,
i have a Replication Group Setup with a lot of sharing violations (accessed files) and lately i also saw a list of backlogged files. I also noticed, that a small txt file i created wasnt replicated either. It took a few hours and everything was replicated,
so in General it works.
My question: is it safe to say, that when having a large amount of sharing violations and backlog files that also normal files will be queued at the end of the Journal/list and not treated with Preference ? Also in normal circumstances those not accessed
files would be replicated very fast, but due to backlogs delayed ?
thanks for clarification.
Marcus

Hi Marcus,
With enough sharing violations though, DFSR can start spending more time retrying locked files than it does replicating unlocked ones, to the detriment of performance.
To determine the real state of the file, use the DFSRDIAG BACKLOG command to check for sharing violations. The command output provides a list of the first 100 files that are not replicated.
You could refer to the article below to troubleshoot the issue.

Reformat on CSS file

Hi,
I'm using "reformat" in "save action" in jdev (11gR2). I have a problem with css file : the reformat action replace (for example)
af|body {
background: url('/images/background.jpg') top left no-repeat #EDEDED;
}with
af|body {
background: url('/images/background.jpg')top left no-repeat #EDEDED;
}--> remove a space after ')'
Internet Explorer 8 doesn't understand the formatted code.
Any solution? Can i configure jdev to doesn't use reformat on css file?
Thanks
Clément

Yes, those are blobs. The only truly static files are those in a DAD path similar to /i/ for images (which includes CSS, JS, etc)
I'd be inclined to tell you that your problem is due to how your page(s) are referencing the CSS files in the resulting HTML.. view-source on the page html and see how they get rendered.. My bet is that your bootstrap is indeed the last to be loaded (top->bottom). You also might want to invest some time using Firefox with FireBug (or similar) to get a better idea of how things are being interpreted.

Sharing Violation in DreamWeaver CS6

Hi there,
I am experiencing a 'sharing violation' message in Dreamweaver CS6 when using a web development tool - Mixture. http://www.mixture.io
Basically, when i try to save files in dreamweaver, whilst mixture is running, I get a message saying:
I can eventually save the file, but only because the original file that i was trying to save gets deleted somehow.
Having looked around google, and these communities, it seems this is a common problem with Dreamweaver.
Anyone have any ideas how to stop these type of sharing violations ? - I am using wamp as a local server for development with apache 2, and php.
Thank you

Hi there Harshit,
Thanks your your help,
I've tried the suggestions in the posts by yourself, and your colleague - unfortunately none have worked:
removing any temp files
searching for hidden files
turning off synchronisation
recreating cache,
turning off cache
turning off indexing on folders
turning off library options in windows explorer.
I still get sharing violation errors - it seems to be a common thread with Dreamweaver. Perhaps it's something that needs to be changed for the windows version.
Thank you

Sharing Violation in Dreamweaver CS4

hi to Every one i have a problem in Dremweaver CS4
when i am saving my html pages the error message is displaying "Sharing Violation Occured".After that every time this error occur page can be rename and save.can any one tell me how to Slove this Problem.
[Personal contact information deleted by moderator]

Hi,
This is a known issue in CS4 and it's a huge pain in the rear. One way to reduce this is to not use the preview (F12 ) function but brows directly to the page in your browser to preview it. This doesn't totally get rid of this but it reduces it. Also, when trying to FTP your files up, and Dreamweaver gives you the "file transfer incomplete" message, have a standard FTP app handy - it will upload the files with our issue, even though DW can't seem to get it done.
This is a major problem with CS4 - I don't know if it tied in to Vista's insane user security system or what, but I hope that they solve this issue either in an update or at least in the next release.

Dreamweaver Sharing Violations

Can anyone help? I am using Dreamweaver CS3 and all was good
in the past. I was able to make changes, save and preview all day
long, that is until I started using CF8. I just installed
ColdFusion 8 Dev Server on my local system. Now, every time after I
save and preview, I am locked out of my document with a Sharing
Violation. ???
I can get rid of the sharing violation error by restarting my
server or by using ccollomb's Unlocker program. But that is not
practical when making multiple edits throughout the day. (by the
way, with the Unlocker program, it shows that my file is still in
use by JRun.exe)
I have searched the discussion forums and the net and have
seen others posting the same problem. Any solutions out there? Can
anyone point me in the right direction? Oh, I've also contacted
Adobe on this matter and they said they've never heard of this
problem and their only suggestion was to move my files to another
directory (which didn't work).
Windows XP Professional
Adobe CS3 Web Standard
Cold Fusion 8
working directory: C:/ColdFusion8/wwwroot/
Thanks.
Jack

This was driving me out of my mind, as well. I too was
getting the dreaded "sharing violation" error. Turns out, the
solution is pretty simple. Go into the CF Administrator. Under
Server Settings, go into the Caching section. At the top of the
page, you can enter the "Maximum number of cached templates." Enter
zero, and submit changes. That worked for me.

Dreamweaver cc unusably slow with CSS or Display Styles

Dreamweaver cc 2014.1.1 6982 build is so slow I can no longer use it. Running 10.10.2 on a 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5 iMac with 16gb and Dreamweaver has so much delay between when you click or type and something happening. I have found that if you don't use any css it is fine and if you turn off Display Styles it also speeds it up. However not having these make using dreamweaver pretty pointless.
Now going to have to go back to CS6 or use a different program completely.

A lot of people are using CC successfully. Everyone's system is different. Slowness can be caused by various things including but not limited to:
network drives,
backup software,
anti-virus software,
GA Tracking code,
null protocol links // to scripts on 3rd party servers like Typekit.
Google Ads,
CSS @import,
code validation errors
If none of the above are relevant, try Deleting Corrupted Cache in DW

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,
