Local vs Server Saving
What differences would be experiened if one saved documents created in say InDesign, Photoshop, FrameMaker (yeah, I know FM isn't in CS!) locally rather than over the network on a server disk?
Clearly saving over the network on a server HDD has benefits in terms of backup, recovery, sharing etc, but are there any major performance bottlenecks or even problems generated by doing this vs saving locally?
We've been having some issues with InDesign freezing up on a couple of PCs and somebody suggested this as a possible solution. Whilst I'm not confident it will be the solution I couldn't say what the difference would likely be.
Thanks!
Reading and writing across the network are generally slower than doing the same operations locally, so yes there is a performance hit. There is also increased risk of data corruption due to network problems that come up from time to time.
I can't really speak about Photoshop -- not much experience with saving over the network for that -- and I've never used Frame, but we get people who lose files from time to time in the InDesign forum. While not recommended by Adobe, working across the network is common practice in larger organizations (I'm talking about remotely storing the .indd file -- linked files in InDesign that are stored on a server are not the same isssue as working on the InDesign file itself stored remotely) where many users need access to the same documents. If the network is robust there usually is no problem, but I like to add that anyone working across a network should assume there will be file damage or total loss at some point and should have very good backup routines in place. Of course, that's pretty much true for working locally, too.
I coach production for the student newspaper at the local community college, and we have to work across the network there (for many of the reasons you cite). So far, knock wood, we havn't lost anything, though we had one incident about five years ago where a file would no longer open as original, but we were able to recover by opening as a copy.

Previewing on local testing server
When previewing a file in the Dreamweaver development
environment, Dreamweaver loads the file, say testfile.html, in the
browser with its file system address, eg
file://Applications/MAMP/htdocs/jsMath/test/testfile.html. However,
the local website address of this file is
http://localhost:8888/jsMath/test/testfile.html.
This leads to a security error
Security Error: Content at
file:///Applications/MAMP/htdocs/jsMath/test/testfile.html may not
load data from
http://localhost:8888/jsMath/plugins/autoload.js.
The problem can be circumvented by avoiding the Dreamweaver
preview and hand-loading the file directly as
http://localhost:8888/jsMath/test/testfile.html
Surely the preview feature must not be bound by this
restriction. What might be done to get preview to work properly
with this local testing server?

You need to define the testing server correctly in your site
definition.
In your case, the Testing server folder field should be set
to
Applications/MAMP/htdocs/jsMath/test/ and the URL prefix to
http://localhost:8888/jsMath/test/.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------S1:I uninstalled BPA.
S2: I installed BPA again using the default options by selecting all the default options that the BPA showed during installation. EG. I selected 'Oracle Lite' which was by default an option.
S3: After BPA installation, I also installed BPA Publisher which i had not done last time.
S4: Restated my system and it all works gr8 now.
Actually, the BPA Publisher creats a Repository area so it should have been installed along with the BPA installation. And Since a Repository area was not found it was giving this error message again and again.
Now its all fine . Hopefully, some one else will learn from my mistakes. -
EAP-FAST on Local Radius Server : Can't Get It Working
Hi all
I'm using an 877w router (flash:c870-advsecurityk9-mz.124-24.T4.bin) as local radius server and have followed various config guides on CCO. LEAP works fine but I just can't get EAP-FAST to work.
I'm testing with win7 client using anyconnect secure mobility client, and also a mac book pro but without luck.
the router sees unknown auth type, and when I run some debugs it talks of unknown eap type 3
sh radius local-server s

Hey again everyone. I am trying to figure out how to set up a local testing server. I've read a couple different tutorials online and i still can't figure it out. I added a new server, named it test server, I'm connecting using local/network, my server folder is C:\Users\Jake\Website\testfolder, and my web URL is http://localhost/. My server model is PHP/MySQL.
My site's root folder is C:\Users\Jake\Website\. I have also downloaded XXAMP. It downloaded and that was it though, I'm not sure if I need to apply it somehow to Dreamweaver. When I try to preview my pages I get a message that asks me if I want to update copy on testing server. If I choose yes, another message comes up and asks me if I want to put dependent files. Whether I choose yes or no it just says IE cannot display the web page.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!Site Name: PHP Test Site
Local Site Folder: C:\xampp\htdocs\php_test\
Server Name: Local Testing
Connect Using: Local/Network
Server Folder: C:\xampp\htdocs\php_test
Default Images Folder: C:\xampp\htdocs\php_test\Images\
Web URL: http://localhost/php_test/Server Model: PHP MySQL
Is that everything you need to know? Note that I do not have a remote testing site set up yet. -
Login settings will not update the local testing server files
When uploading to web server from local testing server, changing login settings in the control panel does not update the local testing server Restrict Access to page files. Causing login on website not to function.
It does however update the Connections file and the login wizard form.
What is the best way to change login settings before uploading site to web server?
Thanks
DanDan - I am having the same exact problem. I'm using the restrict access and user registration and login - when attempting to use the Update Record wizard to allow users to change their password or email address, it doesn't change the record.

How to setup the local testing server ??
hello, what do I need to install first before I can setup the
testing server in dreamweaver 8? I have download apache2 triad,
mySQL, IIS 6...
Where should I download the correct version of mySQL because
I need to test my php scripts locally which has something to do
with database?
How do I configure these on the testing server setup
Connection Name - what should I input here?
MySQL Server - and this?
Username - where do I get one?
Password - where do I get one?
Database - gets an error saying "HTTP error code 404...
1) There is no testing server running on the server machine.
2)The testing server specified for this site does not map to
the
http://localhost/...... ??
Please Help.. Thanks in advance!criticalx wrote:

I have never heard of apache2triad, but I've just had a look
at the
apache2triad site, which says: "It is recommended that only
experienced
users, with a vast knowledge of how networks, and its
components (Apache
Web Server, ect.) should install this software. It IS NOT
your average
software; a lot of time, patience and effort are required to
maintain
such a server."
Setting up a local testing server is not difficult, but it
does require
a basic understanding of how a server-side language like PHP
works.
As I said before, you must always store your files in the web
server
document root. According to the apache2triad documentation,
this is C:
\apache2triad\htdocs\. Unless you store your files there, or
in a
subfolder of htdocs, nothing will work.
---LOCAL INFO----
Site Name: login
Local Root folder: C:\apache2triad\htdocs\login
checked refresh local site automatically
default images: C:\apache2triad\htdocs\login\images\
Links Relative to: "document" - this is correct
HTTP address: leave blank
cache: enabled
---REMOTE INFO---
None
---TESTING SERVER---

Root-relative links & local testing server
Yesterday I figured out that I'd have to use root-relative links in an included SSI file so that it would work from both templates and pages in my main directory (or other directories, for that matter), e.g., 'src=/image/picture.jpg'. However, since my site is PHP, in order to test the pages or even to use Live View, I have to make use of a "testing server". I did this without much trouble using a package called EasyPHP, which sets up a local web server as well as the PHP module, MySQL support, etc. This all works very well.
The problem is that, in order to support several web sites, I have to use a "virtual directory" spec to direct the web server to the correct location for my site's files. In the setup for the testing server, I therefore have to specify a URL prefix such as 'http://localhost/corinthian' for this particular site. That has worked previously, but breaks when using root-relative links since the server sees the "root" as being the main "localhost" directory instead of "localhost/corinthian". So now my SSI doesn't display correctly because it's not being resolved to the correct directories.
I don't think that this is fixable unless someone else has run into it and can think of some gimmick I could try. Anyone? Breaking out some of my code into an SSI has definitely been more of a challenge than I expected!I use 1&1 Internet as my hosting service. They apparently have my site set up in a virtual directory / virtual host fashion. Going to http://corinthian241.org, the root directory for root-relative links would have to be the directory pointed to by the URL. However, running phpinfo.php on the site shows the following result for $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']: '/kunden/homepages/29/d246935068/htdocs/corinthian'.
So I'm pretty sure that a link from a page in my site home directory using this as a prefix would definitely not work, since the first "/" implies starting in the "corinthian" subdirectory -- not the real root of the server itself. Correct?

How to transfer a site on my HD to a local testing server?
My site, which I developed in Dreamweaver CS3, is currently
all static HTML. I'm making progress in changing it to have some
PHP content, but my initial work is all on my live site -- whereas
I want to be able to do development and testing on a local testing
server. I've successfully set up XAMPP, and am making progress in
developing some pages on a *new* local test site (which I've
installed for local testing at C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs),
which I've set up to have PHP-based dynamic content. What I *can't*
figure out how to do is to take all of my local content for my live
Website (which is currently at C:/Documents and
Settings/MyName/MySite/) and move it to
http://localhost/ (at C:/Program
Files/xampp/htdocs), so I can can develop and test new dynamic
content for my site locally against my local Web server. I suspect
that there are some simple steps to accomplish this goal, but I'm
pretty new at this, and can't figure it out. Any advice/guidance
will be greatly appreciated!quote:

Wow, that was simple. Thanks! (I had assumed that I needed to
make the change somehow from within Dreamweaver, vs. in Windows
Explorer. But I guess that's necessary only if/when you're moving
files around *within* a site.) Thanks so much!
I think that Dreamweaver will fuss at me that my testing site
(actually,
http://localhost/visiblewind)
is in a subfolder, whereas my live site (
http://www.visiblewind.com)
is at the root, for synchronization-related issues. Will that cause
issues if I do switch from a separate FTP program (which I'm
currently using) to synchronization via Dreamweaver?

PHP Local Testing Server Not Working!
Hi Guys,
I've just set up my PHP local testing server, although its not working properly! If you could help that would be so wonderful!
Here is my current settings:
Local Site Folder: C:\XAMPP\htdocs\valsoo\
Web URL: http://localhost/valsoo/
Server Folder: C:\XAMPP\htdocs\valsoo\
Local/Network
Server Model: PHP MySQL
I'm testing the 'local testing server' with a file called site_check.php which works in the Local Site Folder root (C:\XAMPP\htdocs\valsoo\site_check.php) but fails to work when the file is within folders (C:\XAMPP\htdocs\valsoo\lesson01). Not all files work in the root either. ANY SUGGESTIONS?
Thanks so much!Brentis wrote:

If site_check.php works, your local testing server is working.
What do you mean when you say that it fails to work when the file is in a folder, such as lesson01? What actually happens? What sort of files don't work in the root? Without more details, it's impossible to help.
If site_check.php is in C:\XAMPP\htdocs\valsoo\lesson01, you should be able to access the file through http://localhost/valsoo/lesson01/site_check.php. -
ANN: Video tutorial for defining a PHP local testing server on Windows
I have created a video tutorial to show how to define a PHP
local
testing server on Windows. It's just under 8 and a half
minutes, and can
be found here:
http://experts.na3.acrobat.com/phplocalsitewin/
I made it for Windows only to avoid confusing viewers with
too many
bewildering choices. I'll try to make a Mac version in the
not too
distant future, but don't yet have video capture software for
a Mac.

Local Testing server and htdocs
So I have set up apache/php with virtual servers and I'm
using DW8.
I may have terminology errors below. Correct me where I'm
wrong please.
Example site directory C:/apache/htdocs/site.com/
The web directory is: C:/apache/htdocs/site.com/htdocs
however there are other important files hiden below this
rebroot in "site.com/application" for example
My work diretory is C:/somewhere else/site.com. While
developing, I just set the testing server as my webserver and
posted everything to preview, but know I want to include the
production server, and try to use my local testing setup correctly.
I use DW to ftp and edit the site files, including those
below the webroot, so is set my directories to allow access to
those files. My annoyance is that when I preview my site it tries
to pull up the homepage as www.site.dev/htdocs/index.php
(I use dev to distinguish the local testing server)
Can I resolve this problem, or can someone explain how to
effecttively manage your workdirectory, testingserver and
production server from one DW site? At the moment I'm using two DW
sites to manage for now.Thank you for your answers.

First, this is very possible depending on your theme. Some of the dyanmic effects in themes use javascript files from the JQuery library as well as other javascript libraries. Because of this it may not be possible to edit all files.
How do you think I could check this is true ? I think I need all the files if I wish to edit the theme. Would copying all the remote files locally help clearing this in any way ?
SnakEyez02 wrote:
This sounds like a path issue in the code. I would check there to make sure the path is correct. Otherwise we would need to see the code.
I don't know how to check this. When inspecting the page with Live Code, I don't know which html file Dw is showing me on the left. No filename has that grey background like it's pushed... Plus, I don't understand why the path would have changed, since I didn't mess with the code (yet) ?

I have found this to appear when you have friendly/pretty-URLs or mod-rewrite turned on. In the WordPress web admin, go to Settings->Permalinks and choose the default with the ?p=123 setting. DW is currently unable to process the rewriting of URLs and it will only recognize the un-SEO-friendly way of reading URLs.
Ok now I don't understand. When I go to http://localhost/mysite/wp-admin, it shows me the WP logo,
No Upgrade Required
Your WordPress database is already up-to-date!
And a big "continue" button, all of which on the original site (the url is http://www.mysite.com/wp-admin/upgrade.php?_wp_http_referer=%2Fwp-admin%2F). Pressing the button gets me to http://www.mysite.com/.
Is that because I imported the database from the live site ? I don't know what I did to get that, I used to get to the local WP installation. Could that be a bad database setup ?
Any idea ?
Again, thank you a lot for helping me out here ! -
Local, Testing server, Remote server uploading
I have my web files in a local directory, say c:
webfiles\myweb. I also have a local testing server at
c:\Apache\htdocs\myweb, and finally a production site at
www.myweb.com. The problem is that when I edit a file in my local
directory it updated the testing server and not the production
remote - which is what I expect. My problem is that I don't know
how to update the production server as there does not seem to be
any menu choice for this. I am sure I am doing something stupid,
but I can't figure out whats wrong. Basically I don't quite get how
the relationship between the 3 file locations interact with each
other. Any help would be sincerely appreciated as its driving me
crazy.Expand the Files panel. On the toolbar, there are three icons
in a row -
Remote | Testing | Site Map. Select the Remote icon, and you
will now be
connecting with the Remote site for PUT/GET. The testing
server will now
only be used for Previews or Live Data displays.
