DW CS3 does not display confirmation dialog when checking out file

Question

We have 3 developers set up with DW CS3 Version 9 build 3481.
When checking out a file that is already checked out one pc will
display a dialog box to confirm that you want to check-out the file
as it is already checked out by someone else. This is good as we
want this dialog to appear. However on the other 2 pc's there is no
dialog box displayed and the checkout process continues as if the
file was never checked out.
The text of the confirmation dialog box reads as such :
"index.cfm is checked out by first.lastname. Are you sure you want
to override his/her checkout?". I have been through the preferences
and verified that we have setup the sites in the same manner but we
still have this issue.
Is there a known bug regarding this feature? Is there a
preference setting somewhere that I have missed?
thanks

Answer 1

Are each of your developers sharing the same local site?
That's why you are
getting this error if they are. The proper setup would
involve THREE
locations:
1. Local sites (unique to each workstation)
2. Staging server (shared by all workstations)
3. Production server (the live site)
You would have TWO site definitions, which would be -
(for each workstation)
1. Local = #1 (unique location for each workstation)
2. Remote = #2
(for one MASTER workstation)
1. Local = #2
2. Remote = #3
Use the first site definition for day-to-day work and
checking files in/out.
Use the second site definition ONLY for pushing files from
the staging
server to the production server.
That's the only way it will work....
