Help launching new site

Hi - I am finally ready to launch, publish, load my newly designed site.
This is not really a new site but fully redesigned with new files, on a different computer, by a different person than the current site.
I have set-up my server. The test connection works.
I have left the Root Directory blank.
All the files are saved on my computer in the: Sites folder, then in: Michael_Gabriel_Music folder. They have been uploaded to the remote server.
I have a file named: index.html in the main folder: Michael_Gabriel_Music. Each additional page has a folder with its page html.
The site is http://michaelgabrielmusic.com. Right now it is the old version - the new version is darker.
Any thoughts on what is going wrong?
I appriciate the help!

I think bregent has the answer.
I use a standard Linux/Apache server, which defines the root folder for websites as /public_html/
When you set up your server, you should see a blank for Root Directory. If you don't have that filled out correctly, your website will upload in the wrong place.
Microsoft IIS (Windows) servers have a different default root directory for websites.
Call your hosting provider and ask where your root is and correctly define that for your server settings in Dreamweaver and you will be able to upload and see your new website.

Help with new site index.html

I'm new to website design/hosting/etc so I apologize for the newbie questions. I'm using DW8
I have a hobby site on a free host and have been using it for 2+ years without problems. Recently I decided to re-design the website. When I uploaded the new website in place of the old one the host kept saying that the file was not found. So I re-loaded the old site and everything worked fine. So just for kicks I uploaded the NEW index.html file in place of the old one, and again the website could not be found.
So is there something actually wrong with my NEW index.html root file, or do I need to do something else in DW to upload a new site in place of an old one? I have no idea what could be wrong with the new index file; I created it just like I did the old one.
Thanks in advance, joel

Before you upload next time click on Site->Advanced->FTP log. See if you get any errors with that.
If you are not and the files are uploading ok, you may need to get in touch with your host. If something is not working on the account it could be something on their end, whether it be configuration errors or some other random occurrence.

New to CF, Need help on new site setup

Hello,
I am new to working with CF. I have a client who had his site built with CF on another host. He has decided to change hosting companies so we transferred all files from the old host to the new host, we did not make any changes to any of the site files. Now when you visit the utility domain on the new host, none of the content of the website shows, only a header and navigation bar.
Please visit drroythompson.com, this is the old site host functioning on CF then visit http://02da88c.netsolhost.com this is the new host utility domain and you can see what is lacking on the new host.
Any ideas why, if we made no changes to the files, ColdFusion is not working properly on the new host? Is there a specific setting file I need to change to restore all functionality? We also verified with the new host that all settings are in place and CF is supported and should work without issue.
Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Cerissa

Actually the generated code doesn't look the same, it seems that the main image is being randomly selected in the site that works but on the new hosting that line of code doesn't appear. Probably a mapping issue, some js files place somewhere else.
Take a look at the site that doesn't work
<img src="files/customers/judy.jpg" border="0" width="282" height="370" />
This line is missing and I assume that the same is happening with the rest of your site.

Please help uploading new site

Need Help with new site glitches PLEASE!!!

I need help trouble shooting a website. The site is
www.farrowandwatkins.com. Nav buttons on Mac they display correctly
which is aligned at top and bottom of content to left on Home page.
However, when viewed on PC, the buttons spread to fill the
distance of the "Patients" Page. All the pages spread to this
length also, but are not suppose to.
Nav buttons have padding of 10 on bottom, except last one.
Please help if you can

First guess would be that there doesn't seem to be a fixed
height or width on the cell for the 'patients' button.

I want to open a domain.site2 file outside the default folder (User/Library/Application Support/iWeb) with iWeb11, but iWeb only opens the domain file in the default folder. If I delete the default domain file, iWeb wants to create a new site. Help please

I want to open a domain.site2 file outside the default folder (User/Library/Application Support/iWeb) with iWeb11, but iWeb only opens the domain file in the default folder. If I delete the default domain file, iWeb wants to create a new site. Does anyone have the same problem or know how to fix it?

In Lion the Finder folder is now invisible. To make it permanetely visible enter the following in the Terminal applicaiton window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
For opening your domain file in Lion for the first time or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an applicaiton.
Just launch the applicaiton, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate

Can't create new sites in Dreamweaver CS3. Help!

I am trying to create a new site in Dreamweaver CS3 but keep
getting the following error:
"The action cannot be completed because the other program is
busy.
Choose 'Switch to' to activate the program and correct the
problem"
I have tried every documented solution on the adobe website
and other discussion forums and still cannot get past the problem.
I have restarted the IIS server on my local PC as documented
on the following adobe technote:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_16485&sliceId=2
Other things I have done:
1. I have followed all the advice in the links at the bottom
of the above page.
2. I have created a new user, logged into that and tried
creating a site with a "virgin" environment
and I still have the problem.
3. I have gone into the registry and renamed the site
configuration info in case something was corrupted.
This removed all my site configurations. No help!
4. I have turned of my firewall and restarted the IIS
server.
5. I have searched the web for anything even remotely
similar to this error and tried every tip out there.
I called Adobe and they referred me back to the technote
above, which I had already tried.
One last bit of info. I can't create new sites, but I can
edit web pages in my existing sites. However, I cannot change the
configuration of the website in the Manage Sites area (i.e. I can't
push the Edit button).
Has anyone had this problem? Any help would be appreciated. I
have hit a brick wall on this one and am trying to meet a deadline
on a new website I need to create.
If I can't find a solution quick, I will be an
ex-Dreamweaver user. That saddens me because I really like
Dreamweaver, but I have to perform on my job.

And are you running Skype?

Received an invalid security certificate warning from a new site launched on Business Catalyst

Just launched a new site on Business Catalyst. When checking online for the first time I received the following warning in my browser " uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is only valid for the following names: *.worldsecuresystems.com, worldsecuresystems.com. " is this normal?
Thanks,

New iWeb User needs help regarding multiple sites

As a new user please excuse me if this has an obvious answer.
I have 4 web site, very simple, that I have used Frontpage with for years.
I want to make new websites with iWeb but I am worried I may screw something up.
I have already created one new iWeb Site and it comes up in the left hand pane as SITE 1.
I have used that for ages and use a seperate FTP program to publish to my independent Server with no problem. I usually publish to a folder first then use the FTP software to publish to the Server and its fine
The trouble I have now is probably becasue I don't know how to use iWeb properly but I'll try to explain.
I made another website and it creates SITE 2 in the left hand pane and I have produced a few pages for that site.
My problem is that when i go to publish to a folder for the 2nd site, it automatically does the first site as well ?
In most other programs (like Frontpage) you have to open the individual sites on their own so you can keep everything seperate but iWeb seems to put them all together.
I now have a folder (on my Apple) with SITE 1 and all its files and in another seperate folder (which I made just for SITE 2) have SITE 1 and SITE 2 and I'm scared to delete the copy of SITE 1 in case it deletes all of it !!
I wish there was a simple 'OPEN SITE' command in iWeb where you cna pick the opne you want to work on but it doesn't seem to be there.
If I am missing something obvious I'd be grateful of some advice becasue I really would like to get the other sites made up.

I'll try to make this simple!
Lets say that you have a website already and you named the site Family.
You decide you want to create another website for example, My Pets.
First create a 2 folders a place them where you will remember where they are.
One of the new folders will be called (Family) (of course both folders are empty at this time. The second folder you created you will name (MY PETS)Ok you with me so far?
Now lets suppose you have the iweb open to the (Family) website. Quit iweb...
Go to users/Library/Application Support/iweb. You will see a iweb icon that will say (Domain.Sites2. Drag the domain.sites2 to the (family) folder you just created. Now for your new site that you want to start. (MY PETS) OPEN iweb. You should now be prompted to choose a template. That's because you removed the domain.sites2 out and put it into another folder.
iweb thinks your are starting a new project and prompts you to choose a template as described earlier. Any pictures you add you should keep them in the separate folder in case you need edit or if you accidentally delete them. For example on the (my Pets site) any pictures you have there you will have in the same folder as the my pets folder you created. What I do is I make additional folders within the site folder I created so I can find things faster. Pets,I would have a pets folder and so on. Do the same for the other folder.(Family)
Now you created your new website (MY PETS) and you decide you want to go back and work on the (Family) website. Quit iweb. and then go to User/Library/Application Support/iweb... REMOVE the Domain.sites2 (MY PETS) and go to other folder(Family) and drag that Domain.site2 where you previously removed the other domain.sites2.. Open iweb and there it is.
Tip: When you place a Domain.sites2 into one of the folders you created it is always good to copy the domain.site2 and paste it into the same folder.When you copy and paste a Domain.sites2 the copy of it will say (Domain copy.sites2) This is a good practice to make because if you forget to close a iweb and drag a domain.sites2 out and replace it with another site. iweb will overwrite it when you save and quit. If that happens Just go the the copy you made and drag it to the: users/Library/Application Support/iweb.
once you drag it to iweb folder click on it once and press enter. You will see the text Domain Copy highlighted. Just delete the word (COPY) make sure it looks like this when your done... Domain.sites2
Open iweb and there it is.
Sorry about all the detail as this is a bad habit of mine, but I hope it helps.

Spry won't let me start a new site? Help

SO I have read ever tutorial and forum with simalar problems and none of them seem to help me. I haven't worked with Dreamweaver since 2001. I am on CS5. Ever time I try to start my new site I get " WARNING: The Spryassets folder is not inside the site. Please select a valid folder in your local site root." I have watched a read all of the tutorials and none of them address this issue. I have even tried creating a Srpy assets folder within my site folder.
Also I'm on a Mac and everything seems to give instruction for PC.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

In the Site Setup for yoursite dialog box, go to Advanced Settings -> Spry and enter similar information as below in the Asset Folder

My toolbar won't add new sites when I want it too, I tried resetting it, but it did not help, what can I do?

I have been trying to add new sites to my toolbar, but it won't. I don't know when it started, but it has been quite a while.

So I am not second guessing too much, tell us where you are in fact plugging it in. I merely mentioned the keyboard USB socket (not even knowing what computer type you have (it helps to put that in your user profile) and maybe you don't even have a keyboard socket) because I (and others) have tried plugging a flash drive into my keyboard's USB and gotten a "too little power" message.

Created new site, now can't update.. please help!

I created my new site in IWeb 08 after the upgrade. My old site stayed in IWeb until I was done replicating it. I did pull the blog from the old site to the new site so I wouldn't lose my entries.
Everything looks great in IWeb. However when I publish it goes through the creating pages stuff and finishes. But instead of telling me go visit my page, it tells me my .mac membership expires in 2 weeks and ask if I want to renew. It's set to automatic renewel so I'm not going to renew it again.
The funny thing is. Prior to me adding my videos and photos in I could publish fine. I actually see the first part of what I published fine. Just can't publish anymore. I noticed that after I do publish I have to restart IWeb before I can publish again because it won't recognize that the files have changed.
Could this be because I have too many photos / videos? Is this what it would do. I have about 7 qt 1-2 minute videos, and one 19 minute qt video. Then I have about 200 photos.
I have the minimum .mac storage account. 5 GB i think? I didn't cross that i doubt.
Thanks!

As an update. Now I publish it and it's going through the motions... I just never get the confirmation that it was published. But all my pages turn blue to indicate they have been... Only they really wern't updated. I close IWeb and come back and they are all red. I repeat the upload process... file, upload all to .mac... logging in... creating page x...y...z... dissapears. Pages turned blue, nothing is update.

I am trying to set up app tabs, but when I am using one, if I go to a new site from there, the app tab changes to the new site instead of opening in a new tab, then the app tab changes to the new site. Can you help? Thanks

I am trying to set up app tabs, but when I am using one, if I go to a new site from there, the app tab changes to the new site instead of opening in a new tab, then the app tab changes to the new site. i.e. The app tabs don't stay constant. This occurs while still in Firefox, and does not relate to when I close it. Has anyone got any ideas? Thanks
