DW CC ...not a valid site definition file

I have about 50 .ste files I need to import that were created with DW CC and now they won't import back into DW CC?
Is there something I can do to get this to work? is it a bug with Dreamweaver?
The .ste files were exported from DW CC only last week and today they won't go back into DW CC.

That worked, which helped find the issue.
My localroot had been changed recently so I needed to make a little change on line 3:
it was:
<localinfo sitename="sitename" ftporrdsserver="FALSE" mediaqueryfile="" localroot="MBP%20HD:Applications:XAMPP:xamppfiles:htdocs:sitename.com:" ...>
and need to be:
<localinfo sitename="sitename" ftporrdsserver="FALSE" mediaqueryfile="" localroot="hddname:Applications:XAMPP:xamppfiles:htdocs:sitename.com:" ...>
Seems to have fixed it.
Thanks.

Dreamweaver CS6 will not recognize existing site definition files

Neither does CC, naturally. These are sites I haven't edited for about a year. I can't find any information about reloading sites by importing the contents, only by opening the STE files... which in this case, won't open.

Are you attempting to simply open the .ste, or are you going to Site > Manage Sites > Import?
If you are tring to import them correctly (second option above) and they aren't importing, the .ste files may be corrupt. To create new site definitions from your existing content...
1. Go to Site > New Site
2. For the "Local Site Folder" browse to one of your current site folders on your HD
3. Add a server and FTP credentials obtained from your hosting company (if you don't have them)
4. Save
5. Repeat for each site
EDIT: If you don't have the site's files locally, do the same as above (setting the local site folder to an empty folder on your HD) and, once you add the FTP info, click the Get button (down arrow) in the Files window to download your entire site onto your machine.

Create a Site Definition file with Visual Web part in Visual Studio

I tried to create a site definition file in Visual Studio 2013 and SharePoint 2013 by following the MSDN tutorial:
Walkthrough: Create a Basic Site Definition Project. Near the end, I added a virtual web part control to the site definition and registered MyWebPartControls in the site definition's default ASPX page as written in the MSDN tutorial:
Unfortunately, IntelliSense doesn't show any MyWebPartControls: tags, and VisualWebPart1 is highlighted with a warning “Element 'SMWebPart3' is not a known element. This can
occur if there is a compilation error in the Web site, or the web.config file is missing.”
Since it’s a warning, I went ahead to build and deploy the solution. However, when I used the site definition template to create a subsite, it returned a parser error:
Unknown server tag 'MyWebPartControls:TestSiteDef1.VisualWebPart1'
I spent half day researching and debugging, and finally solved the problem. The issue is on the registration line:
<%@ Register Tagprefix="MyWebPartControls" Namespace="TestSiteDef.VisualWebPart1" Assembly="$SharePoint.Project.AssemblyFullName$" %>
The $SharePoint.Project.AssemblyFullName$ is a replaceable parameter to provide values for SharePoint solution items whose actual values are not known at design time. Unfortunately, it does not find the right assembly name during the deployment. It should
be replaced by the Assembly’s Strong Name. Here is how I fixed the problem step by step:
In Solution Explorer, open the package node and double click Package.package
Click Manifest tab in the Package.package.
Copy the full assembly name in the package’s manifest. It may be similar like this:
Assembly="TestSiteDef,
Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=a300f1f2da8ae976"
Back to the site definition’s default.aspx page, replace the
Assembly="$SharePoint.Project.AssemblyFullName"
in the registration line with the copied text:
Assembly="TestSiteDef,
Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=a300f1f2da8ae976"
Change the Namespace from
Namespace="TestSiteDef.VisualWebPart1"
to
Namespace="TestSiteDef".
The line to register the web part in a site definition file will look like this:
<%@
Register
Tagprefix="MyWebPartControls"
Namespace="TestSiteDef "
Assembly="TestSiteDef, Version=1.0.0.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=a300f1f2da8ae976"
%>
Clean, build and deploy the solution. It works like charm. (Note: the warning message on visual web part may still exist, but you can ignore it).

Assuming your .ascx.vb file is inheriting from the web part class, you can add the custom properties in the same manor (language syntax aside).
Be sure to use the attributes to correctly identify and scope the properties. (see:
http://www.sbrickey.com/Tech/Blog/Post/SharePoint_Attributes_for_Web_Part_properties)

Preview versus Real View Not the Same, Site Definition Errors - Dreamweaver CS4

I am having trouble working on sites where it seems that Dreamweaver wants me to specify different file locations for various "includes" depending on whether I want to view the site as a preview (F12) vs. on a local test server vs. on the real website server. Note I am using Dreamweaver CS4 (ver. 10) on Windows, my local test server is Apache running via an Xampp installation on Windows, and my production server is also Apache, running at Hostgator. I am building a fairly basic html site using SSI via SHTML files, rather than PHP or a more sophisticated method. Here is what seems to be happening:
1. In my index.shtml file I call, for example, a subheader file called "header-nosub-menu.inc.htm." I have my site definitions set to "relative to document root." Using the insert -> SSI command, Dreamweaver links to the file with the following: My first problem is that, as specified, the subheader.menu.inc.htm file is not found and the preview gives me an error. I get the same error if i try to display the file on my local test server (http://localhost/domainname). However, if I upload the file to my production server, it seems to work fine. If I change the include command to: #include virtual="./includes/subheader.menu.inc.htm," by manually inserting the "./" to change the directory reference, then the file seems to work in all three situations Which is the correct directory specification, and why is Dreamweaver not generating it automatically?
While I can make the manual changes in the directory specifications, I am concerned that if Dreamweaver is making an error in this instance, it may generate more serious problems that are harder to find later.
2. The second issue seems to involve the Site Definition file configuration.I get an error message when I set up my site definition in what seems to be the correct way, specifically, using the following specifications:
Local Root folder: "C:\htdocs\domainname-dev\"
http address: "http://www.domainname/"
testing server folder: "C:\htdocs\domainname-dev"
url prefix: "http://localhost/domainname-dev"
The error message is: "The site url prefix for the testing server does not match the site url prefix specified in the http address for the site."
However, when I change the testing server url prefix to one that does not yield an error message ("http://localhost") I then have problems with the preview (F12) display. Specifically, instead of a preview request generating the following url: "http://localhost/domainname-dev/TMPm393xnclqu.shtml" I find that it generates the following: "http://localhost/TMPm393xnclqu.shtml" The so called incorrect definition seems to be the correct one, but why is Dreamweaver not recognizing it as such? Am I making a error somewhere else in my configuration?
I would appreciate any assistance that anyone here can provide,
Thanks,
http://localhost/

except for the Apache virtual host configuration, which I do not see a need for
I wasn't suggesting that you use virtual hosts (although I have defined about 50 virtual hosts on my own development machine). I was trying to understand the url you listed:
http://www.domainname/
Without a virtual host definition, that would have no meaning and could not point to anything, unless you simply were leaving off the TLD in the example. (.com, .net, etc)
I often use the PHP $_SERVER superglobal to define paths and handle differences between the development environment and the remote server environment. Examples:
DOCUMENT_ROOT: D:/ZendServer/Apache2/htdocs/website/ranch (machine path)
REQUEST_URI: /topic/calendar (url parameters)
SCRIPT_NAME: index.php
HTTP_REFERER: (the url of the script preceding the current script)
HTTP_HOST: (this is the domain name. It is very useful for distinguishing between the local and remote environments)
COMPLETE EXAMPLE:
echo "<p><a class='noPrint' href='".$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']."'>RETURN TO PREVIOUS PAGE</a></p>";

Site definition files

I had to reinstall my dreamweaver software completely, and
now I would like to reconstruct my site definitions without
manually entering them all again. Unfortunately i didn't export
them before my computer crashed. I have all the files that
dreamweaver created before in the application data folders etc and
I was wondering if there is a way that I could use that with my
newly installed dreamweaver to recreate teh site definitions?
thanks

Unfortunately, no. I'm not sure where site definitions are
kept on a
Mac, but on a Windows machine, they're stored in the Windows
registry.
Site definitions can be automatically rebuilt only if you
exported them
in the first place.

Just where ARE the site definition files?

I've just received CS4. I want to move it to my more powerful laptop when I install it. I know how to do that and I can move site files, but where are the site definition files? I really don't want to have to set up each site from scratch. Is there one (or more) files that are the name, url, location, id, password etc for each of the (many) sites in CS3?

To import/export site definitions (not site files):
On the old computer:
Site > Manage Sites
Shift click to highlight all site names
Export..
Same procedure on new computer then Import..

Help - Site Definition Files

Hi
My PC recently crashed and I have had to restore DW 8,
however when I open DW the list of sites has disappeared.
I had previously exported all the site information using the
Backup/Export process and I can import the STE files but it has
been a while since I have done that and some of the newer sites
aren't included.
Within DW is there a configuration file that keeps a list of
the sites and login details etc, ie when you click on Manage Sites
it lists all the current sites? As ideally I would like to restore
those files from a previous tape backup ratehr than sit down and
recreate them again.
Kind regards
Steven

If you do not have recent site definition exports you will
have to recreate
those site definitions manually. Sorry....

REP-1057: ' PATH_TO_REPORT/report.rdf' is not a valid Report Builder file.

Current Level : Report Builder 6.0.8.27.0
We migrated custom reports build on Report 2.5 to 6.0.8.27.0 on apps/db version
from 11.0.3 / 8.0.5 to 11.5.10.2/9.2.0.6. Platform was moved from HPUX to Redhat
Linux 4.
When we open migrated reports then original reports get converted and compiled
by Report Builder 6 without any problem. But once saved and when modified some
of the reports get corrupted and have 'REP-1057' error.
Anyone had any similar problem and found solution?
Thanks

I have a .rdf file. When I try to open the same in Report Builder for 6i, nothing happens! It just does not open!
I tried to convert the report into .REX from unix - I get the following error
REP-1057: 'FAIAPXINROH.rdf' is not a valid Report Builder file.
But, the report is running fine from Oracle apps.
I need to open this .rdf to change somethings.
Any suggestions?

Site definition files? anyone?

OK so I am new to website creation, so please cut me some
slack. Using Dreamweaver CS3 on a Mac, in the manage sites window,
none of the sites I created with Dreamweaver 8 are shown, yet they
all reside in a local sites folder in my documents folder. When I
choose the import function, it asks for the location of my site
definition files (ste) but none are visible anywhere on my system.
How do I import/recognise my previously built sites in Dreamweaver
CS3? Totally confused here...

The sites *should* have been migrated when you installed CS3,
but you can
always go back into DW8, EXPORT the sites, then IMPORT them
into CS3.

Hi Reggie,
I only have my 10.5.8 sysytem available at the moment, but will check this tomorrow on my 10.6.4 w/SL Graphics Update. With what plug-ins and versions are you seeing this happen? I know current OnOne plug-ins use the GPU for displaying it's dialog. Have you checked Nik/OnOne forums for similar problems yet?

We've had the problem you describe above. We also found that the problem is related with computers with low resources like memory. I hope this can be useful.

Export file is not a valid HTMLDB export file

Hi All,
I have a serious problem today when i want to import the exported application file to another workspace in other machine.Both workspace have same name & same schema in which application resides.I got the messages "export file is not a valid HTMLDB export file" .I have search thru the forum and have got several possibly solution.But i want to know what should be done to successfully build the application.Even after exporting file from different workspace and diff name from diff machine still i got the same error message.
Any Ideas ?
Thanks in advance ,
Cheers,
Eman

I export an application resides in workspace HTMLDB_W in APP_OWN schema in database A version 9.2.0.1 and import that application to HTMLDB_W1 in APP_OWN schema
in database B version 9.2.0.5.Both database have HTMLDB version 1.6.1.02.when importing file the files are successfully imported but after click on Install the "Application Install"
region appears.Here the information shows below.....
Logged Into Workspace: HTMLDB_W1
Export File WorkspaceID:
Export File Application:
Export File Version:
Export File Parse As Schema:
Application Origin: This application was exported from another workspace.
Parse As Schema :APP_OWN
i select Run & build application then reuse my application ID .
There is no other application in the same schema & workspace of same application ID.Also when export the file the Character set is Unicode -UTF & while importing i choose the same character set in DOS format.I change the options later but nothing helps me......
I think since the export file version & workspace id cant detectable so the application fails with following error message ::
1 error has occurred
File is not a valid HTML DB application export file.
Previously i use the same workspace later i changed the workspace so now the export & import workspace is different & import workspace ID: 658006861199719
export file workspace ID : 689311213291671
If need more information please revert back to me.
Regards,
Eman

HT4796 I downloaded the migration assistant file, but my PC cannot open it because it says it is not a valid W32.exe file.

I just bought my first Mac and need to transfer my PC files to it. I downloaded WndowsMigrationAssistantSetup.exe to the PC, but I cannot execute the file because the PC (running Vista) says it is not a valid W32 file.

I determined the problem was caused by downloading the file using Firfox. When I downloaded the file using Windows Internet Explorer it ran fine.

The site definition is stored in the Windows system registry.
If you

Thanks so much for your response Anita.
Since I posted this, I noticed a blurb on the Weblogic site that mentioned Service
Pack 9 fixes any problems with JSSE and SSL from within a Weblogic jsp/servlet.
That service pack also includes an example of using the Weblogic SSL routines
to make outgoing HTTPS connections. So, I'm trying to install service pack 9 and
use the example code included in the distribution. I may end up trying what you
listed below however, because SP 9 seems to be screwing up some of our functionality.
<sigh> It nevers ends....
