DWCS4 OSX10.5 site cache won't persist

thanks, in advance for help with this!
i have to continually recache a site because after refreshing the local folder or interacting with the remote server, the files
distill to _mm _notes _ secure and _Templates, all empty. I also notice that when Dreamweaver gives me the folder options to choose
what DW shows as the files in path HD/username/desktop/sitename, is not the same as what my MacBook Pro shows. DW's are the 4 files mentioned prior, while the OS' are a complete site.
i have had to use FTP direct access for site maintenance and development. The two sites I work most with share the same problem.
also cannot put, get... this site is Contribute enabled but an 'unknown error' prevents me from administering it through DW... i only mention that should the Contribute connection be important.
oh, i have deleted both the cache and configuration files based on the instructions in the FAQ's ... didn't help. am also asking for help from tech support but that's not been productive, yet.
any help is greatly appreciated.

Back up all data.
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Cookies won't persist

Hi, am assuming this is a simple problem, but Safari 4 Beta's cookies on one of my Macs won't persist from session to session. Having to re-log in to Amazon and Flickr and various news sites is getting tiresome. As far as I can tell, there isn't a preference that controls this.
I have deleted the file:
~/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist
but that hasn't helped. Is there somewhere else I should look?
thanks for your help fixing this minor yet vexing problem

HI,
Maybe this isn't just a cookie issue.
Safari/Keychain fix:
Sounds like your Keychain preference files are corrupted. Locate this file:
com.apple.keychainaccess.plist /Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that file from your Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot.
If that doesn't help...
1) Quit Safari
2) Open Keychain Access. (Applications/Utilities) Find the "Safari AutoFill" item. Delete it.
3) Relaunch Safari. Next time it asks for authorization, click "Always Allow".

DW 8 Crashing on updating the site cache

This is a site that I've been working on, on and off, for a
year or more and suddenly in the past week or so DW has been
hanging whenever I try and load this site. It seems to do it when
updating the site cache. It doesn't crash exactly, but will hang on
the splash screen, and won't advance beyond that point. I've
reinstalled DW, removed all extensions, deleted the Configuration
folder, but it keeps coming back. I've discovered that if I copy
all the files in that folder somewhere else, load the site, and
then copy them all back, it will load; but obviously this isn't a
workable solution. I don't know WHICH file is causing it to hang;
I've tried removing only the file that it seems to hang on, but
then it hangs on a different one (and so on).
Any suggestions on how to resolve this?

See if this helps:

Regular Site Cache Recreation Needed

I keep seeing this problem on these boards, and no response
from the developers. Very sad.
It seems that every few days I need to re-create site caches
for my sites, and every few weeks, DW MX simply won't open. I know
how to fix it by monkeying with the Configuration directory, but
that hardly seems like the proper way for such an expensive and
presumably professional software package to operate.
Does any DW user here (or god forbid, a developer!) have a
solution that makes the site cache more stable?

Where are you getting this misinformation? Lack of
improvements? Good
grief - in CSS alone, there are too many dramatic
improvements to count, not
to mention the server-behavior improvements, the PHP support
improvements,
the overall UI improvements, and on and on.

OK - where is your local site physically located? Is it on a
remote network
shared drive?
> I suspect it may have to do with sharing files between 2
sites
Yes - I suspect you are correct. Give me the details of your
setup for
this, please?

How do I use a different browser then safari? I have several sites safari won't connect to.

How do I use a different browser then safari? I have several sites safari won't connect to.

I can connect to Bank of America's site just fine. Can you connect to the site or is it that you can't perform certain functions on the website? Do you know that there is a Bank of America App available?
Bank of America for iPad for iPad on the iTunes App Store
Bank of America Mobile Banking for iPad®
If you download another web browser for the iPad, you use it just like you use Safari. Tap on the app icon to launch the browser and then use it like any other web browser.

DW CS3 not importing entire site cache from DW8

Hi;
I upgraded to the CS3 web premium suite from studio 8. My
site caches were
imported but the log on info for each was not. Is there a fix
for this ?
Thanks;
Pat

I dunno. Go into DW8 and EXPORT the site definitions with
their login info.
Import them into CS3.

CS3 DW freezes recreating site cache

I have a brand new iMac (2GB RAM) and just installed CS3
yesterday. I imported my old sites (exported to .ste files from my
PC) and when I go to point DW to my site's files on my local
fileserver (Windows server) all seems to go well until DW starts
recreating the site cache. It counts all the files in the site,
then on about the 2nd or 3rd file it freezes. I've deleted all the
sites I've created and tried to recreate one at a time, but still
no joy. Anyone else seen this?
Thanks,
Wm

Wm,
DW could be choking on a particular file. Try moving all of
your files
to a different folder to see if you can open the site. If so,
then start
moving them back 1 folder at a time to try to isolate the
problem.
HTH,
Randy

Site Cache - Large Site - Unbearable

I have a large site, around 25,000 pages. With site cache
enabled, DM8 takes 2 1/2 hours or more when changing a template to
update files and save site cache (around a 158MB file...). Is there
any way around this, apart from breaking the site into multiple
sites to speed things up?

Please make this good suggestion directly to the team -

HT4628 My Mac Air OSX10.8.5 won't connect to the internet as it says it has a self assigned IP address and thus cannot connect to the internet. I can only connect to a network by manually typing in the configuration specs. Please help.

My mac air OSX10.8.5 won't connect to the internet. It says it has a 'self assigned IP address and therefore cannot connect to the internet'. Network diagnostics is unable to the solve the problem. It happened suddenly for no reason and now I cannot connect except by typing in the configuration settings manually. Please help me!

Use the Airport Utility or log into your wireless device via http and ensure the DHCP/NAT service is enabled. If accessing via HTTP, you will need to manually set an ip within your local subnet (eg: 192.168.0.x).

DW8 hangs at 'loading site cache'

I have been running DW8 on a Vista successfully for several months. Last night I ran DW8 and it got as far as 'loading site cache' and just hung. I've tried rebooting and reinstalling and still it hangs. There was another thread here about deleting files in the configuration folder -- I tried that and still no success.
My PC is a Dell Studio with 8 GB of RAM. I've never had this problem before.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Clay

Crash when updating site cache? MM_Username1?

Hi,
All of a sudden, tonight, DW8.0.2 will no longer open or load
one of my
sites, crashing when "Updating Site Cache". The site is ASP
linked to an SQL
database.
Checking the file that the cache gets to, I notice that the
problem file is
within a sub-directory of the site, called "/admin". Thing is
though, it's
not always the same file, but it IS always a file within the
/admin
sub-directory.
Within this sub-directory I altered, by hand, the Login User
code and
Restrict Access to Page code to create and use the session
variable
MM_Username1 as opposed to the default MM_Username.
Could this be the reason for the sudden trouble with the site
cache? I am
puzzled because the site was working fine for a few weeks
now, with this
sub-directory included, and I didn't create the MM_Username1
issue today
either, it has also been working fine for a good few weeks
now. I've also
not added anything new to the site, that I am aware of.
When I remove the sub-directory from the site, the Updating
Site Cache works
fine, so I am 100% sure there is a problem with the files
within this
sub-directory. How will I know which one though?
I've tried this, as recommended by Adobe, but I still get a
freeze-up when
re-creating the cache:
1. Try renaming the Dreamweaver user configuration folder, so
that
Dreamweaver will automatically generate a new user
configuration folder the
next time Dreamweaver launches. The Configuration folder is
located here:
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application
Data\Macromedia\Dreamweaver
8\Configuration
2. Recreate your Dreamweaver user settings in the registry as
follows:
Launch the Registry Editor by clicking the Start button,
choose Run, then
type "regedit". In the Registry Editor, navigate to this
folder:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Macromedia\Dreamweaver 8
Rename the "Dreamweaver 8" key to "DreamweaverOLD", so that
Dreamweaver will
automatically generate a new user settings key the next time
you launch it.
3. Recreate your Dreamweaver site definitions in the registry
as follows.
The steps below will delete your site definitions in
Dreamweaver.
4. Launch the Registry Editor by clicking the Start button,
choose Run, then
type "regedit". In the Registry Editor, navigate to this
folder:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Macromedia\Common\8\Sites
Rename the "Sites" key to "SitesOLD", so that Dreamweaver
will automatically
generate a new Sites key the next time you launch it.
Any further advice?
Regards
nath.

Found it! Jeesh.
I had a querystring value in my UPDATE redirect URL which was
coded
incorrectly!!!
I am frustrated that, rather than just highlighting the error
or, at the
very least, producing an error when opening the specific
file, this type of
thing crashed the entire DW programme.
The time I spent in Notepad today changing MM_Username1 back
to
MM_Username!! Turns out that was nothing to do with it.
<groan> Yeah,
that's right, laugh it up! :o)
Anyway, solved now. A misplaced ", %, ), (, <, >, &
etc can cause you no
end of grief! :o(

Dreamweaver CC 2014 crashes when updating site cache

Hi everyone,
I'm using Dreamweaver CC 2014 on the Mavericks operating system for mac. Dreamweaver attempts to update a site cache for one of my sites but then it pauses for a few minutes and then crashes. I thought it could have been a corrupted cache file so I deleted the MacFileCache-********.dat file inside the Dreamweaver configuration folder but this didn't work. I tested again and I got the same result.
I just wondered if anyone has had this problem or whether there's a workaround?
Appreciate any advice.

I do have one workaround that worked for MOST of my folders. It is NOT the best option--but it helped me get a little more of my website recognized. (This is working on a mac with the latest version of Mavericks. Who knows WHAT Yosemite will do!)
I dragged my biggest folders out of the larger 'site' folder and on to the desktop. I ignored them and just began with the dreamweaver site manager--creating my site by pointing to the first few folders that had been listed under 'site'. Then, I added the folders on the desktop a few at a time. It worked until I got to a larger, complicated folder...then it froze again. I worked on this all day-- and I'm done for now. But I'm not giving up. With Adobe, there is always a good outcome. Sometimes, it just takes a little longer.
If I get all the kinks out, I'll let you know. Meantime, the more people who ask the question, perhaps the more likely it is to get a little help.
THANKS.

DW CS3 site cache problem

I upgraded to CS3 with no problems except I now find that if
I attempt to delete a word of pdf file that I know is linked to an
htm page, DW no longer gives me a warning message. This means that
If I do a sync. any updated word or pdf files do not get uploaded
to the server. If I do re-create the site cache the files still do
not get "re-linked". Anybody got an idea what is going on? I have
an awful lot of pdfs and docs linked from my site.
Thanx in advance

I figured out if I drag the file window to the left it will
stay on the left. I thought
before in previous version when you select files to be on the
left the preferences menu they would go to the left. Problem
solved.

After uninstalling site caches remain?

I've been having probs with DW8 running incredibly slow on
windows xp sp2.
I did a full uninstall, made sure no virus software was
running on it (which I was told might slow down DW8)
Then made sure there was nothing left in the registry using
RegClean, then deleted the Configuration folder that was left in
the Application Data folder....
I then installed it from scratch. Upon launch it then said
"updating site cache" and it new exactly what sites I had saved in,
and where they were on my hard drive and also all the passwords and
remote information.
Now its still as s...l...o...w... as ever and I want to know
how to totally uninstall it so no information is left so I can be
sure I have a brand new install.
How/why/where does it get this cache information from? Where
is that hiding and does anyone know why it is so slow?
Thanks,
Matt

Matt,
DW stores site info in the Registry here:
\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Macromedia\Common\8\Sites
Be sure to export all of your Site definitions before you
delete the
Registry.
HTH,
Randy

Cannot recreate site cache

My templates are not updating the children pages and I cannot

Yes. Define a new site that points to the same root folder.
