Dreamweaver MX freezes in site manager

So My Dreamweaver MX freezes whenever I try to create a new
site using the site manager. Extremely frustrating and I have tried
to find a fix for this on Adobes site but with no luck. Anyone know
what to do? I know MX is kind of old nowadays... Do I have to
upgrade and shell out $200 to get into CS3 or what?
Thanx

Dreamweaver 8 never remembers Site Management information

My version of Dreamweaver 8 never remembers any remote site
username or password information. I have reinstalled from the
licensed box several times. Our company has several websites, and,
without fail, each time I open any of our sites in Dreamweaver 8,
it has completely lost all of the site remote information - this is
true for all of our sites. This is becoming extremely irritating.
Any suggestions........other than reinstalling, yet again?? Also, I
have tried exporting site definitions, but perhaps I am not using
it properly, as when reimporting them, Dreamweaver wants to build
an all-new site.

Dreamweaver CS3 freezes when add new site section

I've been having this problem since I installed my
Dreamweaver CS3. It just freezes right up whenever I try to click
the 'new site' button or the 'edit site' button while in 'Manage
sites' section.
It freezes up for about 30 seconds before it lets me in.
After that it's fine it's just very annoying to have to wait 30
seconds each and ever time I find a new file extension to add to
the cloaked list of file extensions.
I have 5 websites as sites and so anytime I add cloaked file
types I waste two and a half minutes.
Please help me, very much appreciated any response at all.
thanks

OK - where is your local site? On a remote, shared network
drive?
Also, what is it you're doing? Adding a new file extension to
your list of
cloaked extensions?

Dreamweaver CS3 freezing when clicking EDIT site button

Whenever I click on the NEW SITE button or EDIT SITE button
in the site manager, my dreamweaver freezes up for like 20 seconds.
Everything else works fine. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling.
happens on both of my computers at home, one of them runs an
antivirus scanner and the other does not. Does anyone know what
causes this horrible delay?

You'll find the cache folder in the Files Window - There is a
small icon at the top right side - select it and choose site from
the Drop down menu. Select the Advanced tag and local Site and at
the bottom there is a box called Cache. Make sure there is no tick
in it.

Dreamweaver crashes/freezes when doing find in site

When I use "find" it works fine for a single document but, if I choose "find next" after setting the search to the entire site (or a folder), it performs the search and starts to bring up the correct file, then it crashes. Behavior is the rainbow wheel of death indefinitately. I have to force quit and restart.
I have reproduced this about a dozen times.
I quit DW, trashed my cache file, emptied the trash, and restarted. This has made no change. I have no add-ons of any kind.
I have quit out of other programs and run DW with plenty of RAM available. When it freezes I look in Activity Monitor and can see that RAM is still very available and CPU usage is high, but not excessive. The DW program is unavailable. I've tried waiting out the freeze but it doesn't end.
So far, I have had no problems with DW doing other things. Not even when I open 20+ files at once and available RAM is a tiny sliver. In that case, I get freezes that last a few seconds, and the program is slow, but everything still works.
I searched extensively for other reports of this bug and found nothing about the find feature but that CS5.5 seems to be unstable and crashes a lot. Some reports have linked crashes to using FTP so I tried running find without first using FTP and it makes no difference.
I need to update a website with hundreds of pages and it's really untenable to search for broken links and outdated text by hand.
Running CS5.5. I just got this a couple weeks ago but I previously ran CS3 and could use find in the entire site (the same site actually) just fine.
I have an iMac 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2.5GB RAM. Running OS 10.5.8.
I've got to have this feature working. Please help.
Thanks,
Cyndi

Hmmm...doing some tests limiting the search to certain subfolders or to selected files. It seems the find function is working fine until it gets to a particular file. There are several such files. It starts to open that file then I get the rainbow wheel of death without end. When I force quit and relaunch, Dreamweaver remembers this file as the last one opened. I can open any of these files no problem (either from the splashpage or directly from the site directory) and I can search within them without incident.
What is the search string you are using? Have you tried making fragments of those files to see if you can identify the block of code that causes the freeze?
Besides, I can't imagine it would be a good idea to switch back and forth between different versions of the same program. There is not just one term I need to search for. This is an ongoing project.
It woudn't make any difference at all to use CS3 for this.
Okay, so here's the question, what is causing find to hang like this? It's not something stopping the file from opening or being searched. I will gladly remove any bad code or whatever it might be, but some of these files are huge (like 100 pages if printed). I'm fixing code DW is marking as bad but that doesn't seem to be enough.
Yes, that is the question! I have no idea, but sounds like you are on the right path to finding out....
In the DW Reports panel, there is a tab called "LINK CHECKER".
Under "Site: Reports..." there is no link checker anywhere. I found nothing else called reports.
What is the search string you are using?
A variety of things: lanmind, lmi.net, lye, chemical.
Have you tried making fragments of those files to see if you can identify the block of code that causes the freeze?
I just tried it. I took one of the smaller affected files (I tested as many as I could (it only will cause a freeze if the search term appears in the file) and found 8 "bad" files) and broke it into two halves, using the same header and footer for each. The original filename is y.htm. I broke it into y-test-1 and y-test-2. 1 was fine, 2 was bad. I then broke 2 into two files, y-test-3 and y-test-4. And they're both okay!! WTH.
I noticed that the source code had some bolded text. It shouldn't be bold there, just in the display, and it was pretty random. But there were 3 parts to the file (annotated links) with some bolded source text. These appeared in y-test-4. I used save-as to create the test files, not cut and paste. Yet y-test-4 does not freeze up.
When I deleted the 3 annotated links from y-test-2, it stopped freezing when being pulled up during a search (I highlight one or more files, making sure they are not already open, and choose "Find in: Selected files in site"). I deleted them one at a time and it wasn't until I deleted the last one that it made a difference. Then I put back the first two and left the third one out. And the file is okay.
But I still can't figure out why. There is random bolded source code in most of the files (all?), including those that don't give me any trouble. There are some weird symbols in this link, but they exist in other files that are fine. Hmmm...maybe not so fine. I'm now deliberately trying files using keywords that I know are in there. As opposed to looking for the outdated domain names like before.
It would really help if someone could give me a list of "bad" symbols or something. And what does the bolded text mean? And yes this is a BUG on Dreamweaver's part. The files open just fine and they display fine in Firefox. I can use the "find all" function when doing a sitewide search, even the "bad" files will be listed correctly, and then open the files manually. If the "bad" file is open, I can search within it no problem. The only thing I can't do is a sitewide (or selected files) search on files that are not open. The "bad" ones will cause Dreamweaver to freeze as they automatically open.
So yes, I've found a workaround, but that doesn't mean there isn't a bug and that I don't want it fixed. And the website I'm updating is really old with a lot of the work done in 1999. It's for a nonprofit, it's very very important to keep the pages mostly as is, and I'm taking over from someone who recently passed away. I am revamping things considerably, but, aside from fixing outdated links, I need to work with what's there and keep a "legacy" version. I'm porting the info to a blog format but it will take months. (And yes, this particular link is not important but it's the example I have to work with.)
The bad section of code is:
<LI>UTNE Reader's Y2K Guide 
<UL> <A HREF="http://www.utne.com/bY2k.tmpl$search?db=dArticle.db&eqheadlinedata=Y2K%20Citizen%27s%20Act ion%20Guide">http://www.utne.com/bY2k.tmpl$search?db=dArticle.db&eqheadlinedata=Y2K%20Citizen%27s%20Act ion%20Guide</A></UL>
I'm hoping that doesn't break anything and that it comes out okay. You can see the page on the website here: http://ehnca.org/www/ehnlinx/y.htm
There are dollar signs elsewhere that seem to be okay but I'm not sure. That seems to be the only weirdness I can find.
Any comments? Are dollar signs (in links, not in text) bad? I tried another file and found only one dollar sign in it in a link. I removed it, saved and closed the file, and did a search on it. And it froze. So if dollar signs are bad, then they aren't the only things.
Help!
Thanks.

Can I tell Dreamweaver an alternative location for storing data created in "Site Management" - "New Site"

Hi,
I am a high school librarian. We have Windows SteadyState
installed in our computers to ensure the software and settings
remain unchanged after they are used. What Windows SteadyState does
is it keeps a master copy of the profile of the public user account
in "c:\Documents and Settngs", and every time a user logon with
that account , a copy of the profile is made from that master.
After the user logout, that profile is deleted. It happens that
Dreamweaver also keeps its application data such as website
management data in that profile. Can I specify to Dreamweaver an
alternative location to store those data instead of the default
"C:\Documents and Settings\"?
Please help. Thank you.

will it work to have each user Export their site definition
using dw
menu->site->Manage Site->Export, and then save that
.ste file in their
website's Local Site Folder, or some other location not
erased?
Then before starting next work session, if they double-click
the .ste file,
dw will import and re-define that site.

Dreamweaver cs4, site management does not recognize image directory

I have recently downloaded trial version. When I was trying to set up local site with site management tool, it somehow keep failing to recognize the image folder within. So I go to advance setting of edit and assign local root folder C:\favdoo\MyTheme\
then I try to assign Default image folder which IS in the MyTheme folder, it dow not show up in the browser and even if I manually type in, gives me error message "there are not image file". I have checked rebooted, clear cache, but still does not recognize image folder. ????? Can anyone please help? It drives me crazy before I even start using dreamweaver.

got it, needed to create images directory to associate with actual file......how I supposed to know that?

Dreamweaver CS3 Site Manager Problem

I am using Dreamweaver CS3 and when I define my sites in the
Site Manager, for some reason now when I definte the Host
Directory, which looks like this:
"//caflsd/share/DEPTS/BIOSCI/BSWeb/ " (note the two "/" at the
beginning) once I hit the done button and try to connect, I get an
FTP error, and when I go back in to the Site Manager, I will see
that one of the slashes in front of the Host Directory Address is
removed, so it looks like this "/caflsd/share/DEPTS/BIOSCI/BSWeb/"
which misses the first slash. When I put it in manually while in
the Site Manager and test the connection while in the Site Manager,
it works fine...however, when I hit OK and Done, it always cuts out
the extra "/" and then the site will not connect outside of the
Site Manager. How can I get it to stop this?

i posted a reply. sorry new to this forum. the only message I receive is that there is no repsonse from the server. Initially I can connect fine and downloand all remote files. It is only when I go to upload that I get disconnected. I can upload fine with an older version of DW. I do not know if I can upload to other sites.
I called my server and was told everything on their end was fine and they tested it and was able to upload. So I am thinking it must be DW CS3

Dreamweaver CS3 - Cannot create root and image folder in Site Management. (Create New Site)

Good day everyone,
I am not able to create folders for a new site in Dreamweaver CS3.
This is the problem:
I open Dreamweaver
I go to site and click on create new site
In the new site panel I name the site eg: Test Site
Then I click on the browse folder to attached a root folder and image folder for the site
This is where the problem starts, when I browse to the folders, Dreamweaver does not keep the location/path.
Like this: My folder is created in the following directory.
C:\xampp\htdocs\my_site_folder
So when I browse to this folder and click save
the path does not stay in Dreamweaver, all the stays is this.
C:\xampp\htdocs\
The site name does not remain.
I cannot get Dreamweaver to hold the path.
Same for the image folder.
I noticed this started to happened after I updated Vista to Service pack 2.
I have never seen this happen before.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.
Patrick

Why is Site Manager Freezing?

I am using CS5 with Windows 7. A few weeks ago, I made a change with my ISP and need to make an adjustment in Site Manager, but I am locked out of several settings in the site setup screen. I have deleted and reinstalled the entire suite twice. The second time, I deleted all preferences.
Here is where the problem comes:
Site -> Manage Sites -> Edit (or New)
In Site Setup, I am unable to access any but the three buttons (Help, Save, Cancel) at the bottom of the dialogue box. I’m happy to delete and reinstall again. Please advise.

Dreamweaver 8 freeze in Code-View

I have a Site: ASP/VBScript; Testserver local;
When I open my function libary (file: funktion.asp with 5000
lines) and go to the Code-View and click into the code
Dreamweaver 8 freeze. I know I'm not the only one with this
problem, but I didn't find a fix/workaround.
It should by a Dreamweaver/File problem, because all
Developer in my Team (five developer) have the same problem.
With DW MX 2004 we had no problems! Since last week we use DW

Site Manager Tabs Can't be Selected

I've been having the same trouble with the 'root folder' issue as reported by many others, however, I go one further. Once I resolve the root folder problem, I can't click on any of the site setup tabs (under Site; Site Manager) in CS 5 Dreamweaver. When I get the Site Name and Local Site Folder correctly identified, NONE of the tabs on the left (Site, Servers, Version Control, Advanced Settings) can be chosen. After trying to select one, the only way to get out of this screen is to use the ESC key. Now, this is a problem, because all the website information, such as usernames, passwords, testing sites, and all the other site manager details, cannot be changed. It appears the only fix I can find is to export Site Manager info to a thumbdrive, take it to my other computer (CS4 Dreamweaver) and make the changes---even including setting up new websites), the export it back to the thumbdrive and import to my other computer. I believe it would be easier to start using Expression Web!
I'm using Windows 7.

That worked! But it sounds so unrelated. Who would think that the size of fonts would make a difference? Sounds like a 'quirk' between Adobe and Microsoft. I've found a few of them and had to make 'sticky' notes on work-arounds.
Thanks for your suggestion. How did you figure this out?

Site Management: Crash / DW CS4

Hello,
It's been 2 days that I can't use DW because it says me that the root files for my websites don't exist. When I try to correct it in site management, and when I try to create a new site in site management, DW gives this message of error (I translate it from french) " : this character isn't availaible for this access".
It's then impossible to use DW; since it doesn't recongnize the files I choose.
What should I do ?
I followed the tip and deleted the ".dat" file in my library -> language. Also deleted the whole preference file in language. Once I managed to create a new site, and the minute after, it bugged again.
Thanks a lot for your help !

Site manager For network logons

Hello everyone,
My name is John, and i am an ICT Technician for my school. We
have been using dreamweaver for a few years now, and have come
accross a slight problem with the "site manager" tool. Basically,
we have 2000 Network users who we are looking to use this tool. The
user can set up the site with no problem, but the information is
lost when they log off the network. So, when they log on they will
have to set it up again.... What can be done to fix this problem?
Any ideas will be gladly recived :)
Thanks,
John

> All the "Site manager" features work properly. However,
> when we log off, ALL the data to do with the MY SITE
profile has been removed.
question- is this machine running some kind of "rollback"
software whose job
is to wipe out any changes to a person's profile or
non-approved registry
entries? This has come up before in questions about school
lab computers not
saving site information. At shutdown or at midnight, the
entire computer is
restored to a predefined state automatically
If there is such software on the machine- see if there is a
way in it's
settings/preferences to have it allow dreamweaver site
entries to the
registry and not wipe them.
otherwise- a work-around is to have the students use the
Export button to
create an .ste site definition backup file. Put that in a
place that's not
to be wiped. Then next work session, dw
menu-->site-->Manage Site-->Import
that .ste file and the site def is restored.

Site manager in CS3 deleted all sites

I am currently working in dreamweaver cs3 for the mac on
Leopard. Today the software decided to delete all of my sites in
site manager. I don't know ow but it did. I still have several of
the sites in Dreamweaver 8. Is there a way to export the
information into the latest version? If so, please advise.
Thank you

Site > Manage Sites. Select the first site, shift-click
the last site to
select them all, and click Export. This creates .ste files
that you can
then import into CS3, using the Import button in the Site

dialog box.
