How do you set up a Testing Server?

My Local and Remote settings have been working fine for years but
now I have the need to set up a Testing Server and I'm not sure
what to enter in the fields when editing my site. Attached are
my settings for Local, Remote and Testing. When I published to
the Testing Server this morning  overwrote the Remote Server
and had to ask fat cow to restore my original site. Please advise.
Thanks.

Your website is at http://bigcowmusic.com/. You want to use http://bigcowmusic.com/testing/ as your testing server.
Create a folder called testing in your site root.
In the Testing Server category of your site definition, set Host directory to point at the testing folder. Since you left that field blank before, it suggests that leaving it blank points to the site root. So enter "testing/" (without the quotes) into that field.
Set the URL prefix for the testing server to http://bigcowmusic.com/testing/.
To test that it's working, create a file in the testing folder, and make sure that you give it a name that doesn't already exist in your site (this will avoid overwriting a live page if anything goes wrong). Test it within Dreamweaver. Then go to your live site, and see if the page exists in the testing folder. If it is, you're set to go.

  • How do you set up an FTP server using a NAS device?

    I'm sure this question has been answered before. I run a small graphic design business from my home. Occassionly clients want to send me files and ask if I have an FTP site they can upload to. I recently purchased an NAS enclosure and added a 250 GB HD in it. It's hook up to a Linksys router. I can attach to it using the GO menu using "smb://STORAGE". It appears on the desktop. I have Comcast as my broadband service with a dynamic DNS. I have 2 folders on it, one password protected and the other a Public folder. I would like someone to be able to access the Public folder and upload and download files on it. Would someone be able to explain, in simple terms, how to set this up.

    Well you actually need to have an ftp server running somewhere. I dont know (although i doubt it does) if your NAS has an embedded FTP or SFTP server. If it dosent youll actuall have to have people connect to one of your servers/workstations that has FTP enabled.
    First youll need to log in to your router's admin panel and forward port 21 to the server/workstation that will function as the ftp server.
    Then set up the mount for the NAS device at large or one of the specific folders on it with sharepoints or something on the mac that will act as the ftp server.
    Set up a user as a FTP only user. Youll probably want to make this user only have FTP access (you can google or consult other threads in these forums for this procedure).
    In this users home folder make symlinks to the shares with the command line:
    cd pathto_ftpusers_homedir
    ln -s /Volumes/NAS_Sharepoint NameOfFolderUserWillSee
    Then create the file /etc/ftpchroot which will contain a list of users that will be limited to thier home directory when using ftp. i would use a command line text editor to do this (pico, vi, emacs... choose your poison).
    the file should simply be a list of user shortnames, 1 per line.
    Thats the basics of it. You can get more complicated and might indeed need to set up permissions and what not properly (youll probably want to use ACLS so you dont have to constantly change permissions or login as another user to access files that have been uploaded)but that should get you started i think.

  • How do you set up a deployment server to image a Macbook Air

    I have 240 Macbook Airs to deploy.  Having problems gettng them to netboot to the deployment server using the USB network adapter.
    The server is 10.6.8.  Does it need to be updated to Lion to work?

    The new MacBook Airs should boot off a Snow Leopard server machine running Netboot for these machines. At least the 85+ machines I've imaged off my SL NetBoot box do, so that's not the issue. Are using Netboot or something else? What image/build of Lion is on the box that you're trying to boot these machines against? I agree with Captfred if you're trying to use some system restore image for the MacBook Airs, I wouldn't bother. I compiled a custom boot image that installs 10.7.2 already out of the box and all of the Airs fired up just fine.

  • Setting up a test server

    any help would be great.

    It is worth trying with Linux as well because a) you are more likely to be deploying Java systems on a unix based system and b) it is very useful for anyone serious about using computers to know how to use a unix shell.
    The problem is that you are then learning to use the OS as well as picking up the servlet and jsp deployment skills. It is feasible though- I learned this way, but it can be frustrating at times. The other problem is that once you start getting anywhere with it you won't want to go back to windows again ever.
    For development you may want to use Tomcat standalone rather than with Apache because you will not need the load balancing side so much and it does save on trying to configure mod_jk.
    If you do go down this path I recommend the O'Reilly "Running Linux" book as a good introduction to the operating system. There is loads of stuff available online as well so it is very well supported.

  • How do you set up Port Forwarding for ARD 2.2 in AEB N?

    Help,
    I'm a novice at Apple Remote Desktop (ARD) - not an IT guy, so it has to be pretty basic and detailed.
    How do you set up Port Forwarding for ARD 2.2 on the Apple Airport Extreme BS router, 802.11 N. I have one at each end of the internet connection. At one end I have an Airport Extreme N router with 2 macs and eventually 1 windows XP machine (if I can) that I would like to be able to connect to over the interenet (the clients) and at the other end, I have a Mac with ARD 2.2 installed also with an Airport Extreme N router. Note: Both routers use Static IP addresses and all computers use static IP's internally not through DHCP. What are the settings or directions to do this.
    I have read and printed out the directions for Configuration of ARD 3.0 that are posted many times in the ARD discusion group, but it uses a Linksys router ( http://www.starkpr.com/ard.htm posted by Dave Sawyer). The Mac router is different, particularly with the place to set a Private IP address. I'm not sure about alot of things, but especially about the Private IP address, what number do I set it to, the one that is in my Network connections list? It automatically changes to a different number in AE N setup for Port Forwarding (by one) as if it is not suppose to the same?????
    Are there any directions available that are as straight forward for the Airport Extreme N router, as the one's that are listed here for the Linksys Router's? ( http://www.starkpr.com/ard.htm )
    Any and All help will be greatly appreciated.
    P.S. I know I should have 3.0 but bought 2.2 just weeks before 3.0 came out and they would not give me an upgrade price, so I'm waiting for 4.0 to upgrade.
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Try the following for each AirPort Extreme ...
    AEBSn - Port Mapping Setup
    To setup port mapping on an 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn), either connect to the AEBSn's wireless network or temporarily connect directly, using an Ethernet cable, to one of the LAN port of the AEBSn, and then use the AirPort Utility, in Manual Setup, to make these settings:
    1. Reserve a DHCP-provided IP address for the host device.
    Internet > DHCP tab
    o On the DHCP tab, click the "+" (Add) button to enter DHCP Reservations.
    o Description: <enter the desired description of the host device>
    o Reserve address by: MAC Address
    o Click Continue.
    o MAC Address: <enter the MAC (what Apple calls Ethernet ID if you are using wired or AirPort ID if wireless) hardware address of the host computer>
    o IPv4 Address: <enter the desired IP address>
    o Click Done.
    2. Setup Port Mapping on the AEBSn.
    Advanced > Port Mapping tab
    o Click the "+" (Add) button
    o Service: <choose the appropriate service from the Service pop-up menu>
    o Public UDP Port(s): 3283
    o Public TCP Port(s): 3283
    o Private IP Address: <enter the IP address of the host server>
    o Private UDP Port(s): 3283
    o Private TCP Port(s): 3283
    o Click "Continue"
    o Click the "+" (Add) button
    o Service: <choose the appropriate service from the Service pop-up menu>
    o Public UDP Port(s):
    o Public TCP Port(s): 5900
    o Private IP Address: <enter the IP address of the host server>
    o Private UDP Port(s):
    o Private TCP Port(s): 5900
    o Click "Continue"
    o Click the "+" (Add) button
    o Service: <choose the appropriate service from the Service pop-up menu>

    How do I set up a mail server and SMTP server to send messages to other mail servers at mavericks

    You need to get the settings for your email from your email provider and enter them in Internet Accounts (System Preferences). Many of the common systems are already available, all you need is a password and an email address to set them up.

  • How do you set up your Configuration Manager client when Imaging?

    OK everyone we got an issue that we need to take care of sorry if this seems like a dumb question but we cant seem to make this work.  How do you set your configuration manager client when you deploy your image(s)?  I created package and pointed
    it right to the config manager install directory just like the recommended one for USMT but it does not seem to work.  I also tried to leave it blank but it appears to be mandatory.. So my question how do YOU get it to work for your areas?
    Thanks

    that might be the problem I dont see a "Microsoft Configuration Manager Client 5.0 All" anywhere. We threw something together that points to:
    \\Server.Domain.com\SCCM_Install\SMSSETUP\CLIENT
    What is happening is this.
    Have a task to deploy Windows natively to the workstation
    Drop applications to the workstation
    do updates
    capture back to server
    All it does is 
    Drop the OS down
    copy the Agent files
    join to the domain
    reboot
    sit
    sit 
    and sit

  • How do you set-up a hotmail email address in mail

    how do you set-up a hotmail email address in mail?
    I cant seem to add it. any ideas why it cant connect to the server? what server address should i be using?
    regards
    Brendon

    Hi bmuur,
    I also had the same problem.
    I clicked Microsoft Exchange and kept trying to add my hotmail account that way but it kept asking for a server address for it to work.
    If you go into Internet Accounts and instead of clicking Microsoft Exchange scroll down to the bottom of the list and click Add Other Account...
    It will ask what sort of account you want to be created and I selected Add Mail Account and clicked create.
    Enter your full name, hotmail email address and password.
    I then clicked create and it worked for me.
    Hopefully this solves your problem. 

  • I've set up the *&*%$ testing server - now can I please add a recordset?

    I run into this problem occasionally with DW. I set up an asp
    site using aspVBscript. When I go to add server behaviors the
    application box has the first two item s ticked (Create a site for
    this file, and Choose a document type) but the third, "Set up the
    site's testing server" is not, yet I have set up the testing server
    (several times). It is the same testing server settings I use on
    several of my other sites and they are fine. Why could DW be
    insisting I have not set this up? I've tried closing down the app
    and restarting, but it still thinks I have not entered the testing
    server settings for the site and so won't let me add server
    behaviors.
    Anybody have any ideas why this is happening and what I could
    do to fix?
    BTW i'm using Dreamweaver CS3 on a windows XP pro SP2
    machine. Windows 2003 IIS 6.0 server is where the site
    resides.

    What happens when you browse to
    http://localhost?
    What happens when you browse to your site prefix as specified
    in the testing
    server setup?

  • How do you turn your outgoing mail server to online vs offline?

    How do you turn your outgoing mail server to online vs offline

    I had this problem too but I fixed it today. I have been unable to send emails with two of my 4 accounts.
    Go to the mail menu preferences.
    Click on account in question.
    Select the outgoing SMTP mail server (the one offline), this has a drop down list, click on the edit server list.
    Click on the advanced button.
    Make sure use default port is checked.
    Make sure SSL is unchecked (unless your provider requires it, mine does not work with it checked).
    Have authentication set to password.
    User name should be your email address for that account.
    Make sure correct password is entered (for some strange reason my password box was blank on this account).
    Push the ok button.
    For me the SSL box was checked and the password was missing. This is strange to me considering I have unchecked the SSL Box on the mail preference advance page. Also, I went through the complete set up account when I first created the account, why was my outgoing server password box empty?
    I hope this helps.
    Here is a link to some visual aids with the steps from my ISP

  • How Do You Set Mail To 'Manual' ?

    Never had problem with iPhone until yesterday. I am not receiving 'push' e-mail anymore. I did not do any changes to the iPhone at all. Any e-mail now I have to go to inbox and click on the curved arrow symbol at bottom left of page in order to load the waiting e-mails. In a different posting someone mentioned to test 'push' function by setting e-mail to 'manual' and then sending your Yahoo account an e-mail from your computer (I assume using a different e-mail service). In the 'settings' menu for 'mail' I do not see where you set for 'manual'. How do you set mail to 'manual' setting? And do you think I should just RESET the iPhone (using the iPhone or hooking it up to iTunes on the computer to RESET) ?

    I have no other e-mail accounts set up. Anyway I did RESET my iPhone (using the RESET button on the iPhone) and all is well again (how long I do not know). My e-mails are being 'pushed' again so that I can see from the main menu the little red dots (with the numerals inside) showing how many e-mails are waiting for me. I love this feature. I had 'push' e-mail on my ex-Blackberry. BUT, I do not see the AUTO-CHECK anywhere. I am heading over to the Apple Techies at my local Apple store to ask them about this missing AUTO-CHECK. I have a feeling you need two account set up on your iPhone for this feature to appear. I could be wrong. Thanks, everybody........

  • How do you set your email account

    How do you set your email account

    if this is your first email account you're adding to your iPod tough, go to the mail app. you'll have choices of what mail server you have. i think windows live mail isn't an option, so go to "other" and go from there by filling your email, name, and password. Im pretty sure thats about it. i use gmail so that was pretty easy.
