Managing Apex 3.0.1 Site Files from DreamWeaver

Hi,
I recently developed an application using Apex3.0.1 using a pre-defined theme in Apex (Theme 9). I want to make a couple of modifications to this theme, but I am still looking for a way to access the theme's files and folders in the database remotely.
I tried using WebDEV in Macromedia Dreamweaver 8 and Oracle XML DB Protocol Server to manage the themes folder remotely from my desktop but it comes up with a access denied response, even though Iam using a valid apex admin database account in the connection process. Am I doing the right thing here?
As a test, I tried typing the url to the apex themes directory directly in the address bar of IE, hoping to get a directory listing, but instead I get a Forbidden response from the server. Hmm..??
I have administrative access to the Oracle 10g Database Server on which Apex runs, and I don't know what i'm doing wrong!!
Apart from these, I am still not a 100 % sure of the following:
1. What account will I use to connect to XML DB using webDAV. Is there an account used to manage the HTTPDB server in Apex??
2. I understand that the site files are in the database in a hierarchical structure managed by Oracle XML DB, so I am confused on what url path i should specify for the themes folders that I need to manage remotely.
I would kindly appreciate the help of any Apex expert on this issue.
Thanks,
Sutherland

Sutherland,
I can give you some insight, if your machine is trying to authenticate itself to the server via windows then you need to properly set that up. Also when you want to access the images directory on the server you are accessing XDB and you need the password for that. If you were running XE on your desktop and put http://localhost:8080/i/ in your browser and you would see the 'i' directory displayed. Sometimes, depending on your setup, you have to enter a username and password for XBD before it will display the directory. Try changing 'localhost' to your fully qualified server name and try that in your browser first. After you get that working you might be able to use DreamWeaver. HTH.
Keep Smiling,

I imported my iweb site files from my desktop to my laptop and now they wont open up in iweb

Hi,
I imported my iweb site files from my desktop to my laptop and now they wont open up in iweb.
I can see the files in the home/sites folder but cant seem to be able to replace them with the site that is already in iweb?
I have just upgraded to lion on the macbook pro and was using 10.4.x on the desktop.
Is there any way to replace the files and work on the web site on the MBP?
And I dont see the library/application support/iweb folder anywhere.
Much appreciate the feedback.
Thanks

As I said earlier, iWeb does not open/import webpages.
And yes, you need the domain file. The movie demonstrates how to move them to and from the default location.
And the page explains how to open the hidden library folder in Lion. Which is also discussed in the Lion forum and extensively in this one.

Problem uploading files from Dreamweaver CS3 to Yahoo

I am having a problem uploading files from Dreamweaver CS3 to
an FTP site on Yahoo.
The error message I get is "No response from server.
Reconnecting..."
I am able to connect to Yahoo using other FTP clients
successfully.
I am able to connect to Yahoo using Dreamweaver MX 2004
successfully.
I tried playing with various settings (i.e. passive ftp,
server compatibility options) but to no avail.
Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Steven

I tried enabling passive FTP but it doesn't help.

How do I go about transferring files from Dreamweaver CS4 to Dreamweaver CC?

How do I go about transferring
files from Dreamweaver CS4 to Dreamweaver CC?

If both versions are on the same hard drive, simply tell DW CC where your site files are located on your hard drive. Go to Site > New Site and define your site.

How to transfer site files from one computer to another?

I've got a couple sites archived on my MacBook Pro that I'd like to move over to my iMac. Is there an easy way to do this that will retain all the site settings and so that the sites will show up in the site files window as I'm used to working with? (CS4)

Yep, super easy too if you still have DW on the machine you are transferring from.
1. Open DW on that machine, go to Site > Manage Sites > Export to create a .ste file for the site.
2. Make a copy of the entire site folder for the site and put it on your new machine along with a copy of the .ste file.
3. In DW on the new machine go to Site > Manage Sites > Import to import the .ste file
3a. You "may" need to relink the site's root folder under Site > Manage Sites > Edit to point to the newly copied site folder on the new machine, but all the FTP info will be there from the import

How can I delete files from Dreamweaver?

I spent the day creating HTML files for a class assignment. I thought I had all the files in a folder, but they were not. I have since lost the files but not the folders. All I have left are the labels from the files. I need to delete the files and start over. How can I do that?

Create a new Site Definition in DW by going to Site > New Site.
Delete the old site folder from your hard drive with your operating system's File Manager.

Opening Fireworks .png file from Dreamweaver

Anybody have problems with the connectivity between Fireworks
and Dreamweaver? I have a Retail version of Macromedia Studio 8.
I've been designing a new site and noticed that my fireworks .png
file is not updating from my changes in Dreamweaver (probably
because I cannot open from the edit button in Dreamweaver.) When I
try to open the .png file from the Edit button at the bottom of the
Properties Panel in Dreamweaver it gives me an Error Message :
Unable to Launch. Please be sure that the application exists and
that there is enough memory.
Obviously the only benefit of Macromedia suite is the
connectivity. Well, since I don't have it it is sucking. Was it a
misinstallation on my part? Anybody know what's happening here or
how to fix?
Thanks,
JP

Copy the file off the server, then open it?
And what version of Photoshop are you using? On what OS version?
Most likely this is a bug in the OS or server software that just shows up because of the asynchronous file IO used by Photoshop (to improve performance).

Using files from dreamweaver 8 in CS5 - not working

Hi All
I made 2 websites a few years ago in Dreamweaver 8. We now have windows 7 at work so we are trialling CS5.
Basically, i open up our web files (which were made in Dreamweaver 8) in CS5 and the site ios not being very friendly at all. It is almost like it doesn't recognise the codes and formats properly.
And to change one line of text - i select and change colour - it changes the whole 3 paragraphs.
Is Dreamweaver 8 files compatible with CS5.
Need help
one website is www.progressivegroup.com.au
in the old version i could simply make changes with out any bit of hassel, in the new one i can barely do anything with out it going crazy on me!!
Thanks

Thank you for your help.
Are the code errors from Dreamweaver 8?
I am not the best with this sort of thing.
How do i fix the errors so i can use the web siles in CS5?
also, how do i validate the code?
Thanks again

Importing site info from Dreamweaver 8 to CS3

I am thinking about moving from Dreamweaver 8 to Dreamweaver
CS3. I have roughly 10 sites that I edit and update. I am wondering
if there is a way to import the site information from 8 to CS3
(meaning the FTP info, folders, etc).
Thanks for the help,
Joe

I have a similar issue. I had CS4 installed on my machine with about 20 sites/ftp info etc saved into it. My computer had a complete meltdown and I had to rebuild the computer. I have installed CS4 onto the new hard drive and I was able to save the old hard drive (it was unstable though and safer to start fresh). Is it possible to have my installation of CS4 grab the site information from a different drive on my machine? I was hoping it would just find it when I installed the software, but no such luck.
I tried "importing sites" but I could find any .ste files that it was looking for. Any help would be greatly appreciated. It will take a long time to re-input all of those sites.

How do I open a GoLive backup .site file in Dreamweaver CC?

Hi,
I need to recover an old website. It's a .site file that was created in GoLive CS2. I now have Dreamweaver CC and need to find out how I can import/convert that site to open it in Dreamweaver. Please help!! I am using Mac Mountain Lion OSX.

.site files can only be opened in GoLive. AFAIK, .site is a database file that is associated with the actual HTML, CSS, JavaScript and images on your hard drive.
Do you have access to the real site files -- perhaps on your hard drive or a remote server?
If not, you might find what you need on one of the Internet Archives like Wayback Machine.
http://archive.org/web/
The actual site files are what you need to edit in Dreamweaver or any other plain text editor.

Does the new firefox work when previewing files from Dreamweaver?

I use Dreamweaver CS3. I always preview my pages that I build in Firefox. After just downloading the newest firefox version (3.6.10), I could no longer preview files in Dreamweaver. When I go to preview the file, it just opens a firefox the application, not my webpage within firefox. Any ideas? I even edited my browser list within Firefox, removing Firefox as one of my browser options and replacing it again.

Dreamweaver CS3 doesn't work correctly in any Firefox 3.6 version.
There is a fix for Dreamweaver, so it works in Firefox 3.6+ versions:

There is a $5.00 fee for that Dreamweaver fix. That website and the fix are not associated with Mozilla in any manner. Support for that fix is provided by that that website via email.

Recovery Manager is failing to read backup files from disc

Product Name:
HP G56-129WM
Operating System:
Windows 7
I used the HP Recovery Manager (F11) to backup my files instead of using the Windows backup. The HP Recovery Manager back uped my files on 2 dvd discs. I then restored my laptop to factory settings. When I go to restore my files, it will only go to 40% and then ask me to insert backup DISC 2. When I insert the disc, it fails to read it. The disc pops out and I keep getting a request to insert DISC 2. What is going on?
This question was solved.

I have a related but different issue with file back-up using HP recovery manager.
I have a Pavilion g7-1070us laptop that failed to start and simply displays a blue-screen with a blinking cursor (no error message). I could NOT get into safe-mode by hitting F8, but was able to activate the “HP recovery manager” by hitting F11. I was trying to back-up my files before triggering the system restore. It asked me what types of files to back-up, then scanned the computer for these files and was finalizing the files for back-up; then suddenly an error message showed up saying something like "No storage device detected. Make sure the removable disc drive is connected to computer". But I have both a DVD sitting in the optical drive and a USB drive attached!!!!!! Apparently the recovery manager doesn’t see them?
Can someone throw me a life-saver here? If I cannot recover my files, I cannot proceed with the system restore and I am forever stuck here!!!!!!
Please help!!!! Much appreciated!!

I backup from HP recovery manager . How do I recover files from Backup.2.fbw.

I used the HP recovery manager to back up everthing .Then I selected to return the PC to it's original condition.
Now I have 2 files on my external 500 GB storage as described: backup.1 backup.2.fbw
I need help in restoring the backup.2.fbw I double click it & it will not open. I searched the web for solution & their's a software by the name: File view pro. Is there a solution from HP support on this & how to solve this? Thank you so much.
Hp support mentioned a solution on laptops & I tried it but the procedures don't apply on my desktop.

You should have one .exe file along with the .fbw file/files. This .exe should be executed to start the copy of the backed up files to a folder on your C drive where you can then move them to Documents or wherever desired.

Accessing domain.sites file from idisk

Hi, all! Merry X-mas!
I just got a new MacBook (yay!) and I would like to work on my various websites. However, my desktop with my files on it is 3,000 miles away. Is there a way to open iweb on my new computer and access my various domains here using my idisk?
Thanks! And Happy Holidays!
Lisa

Hi Lisa and Merry Christmas!
If you had copied your Domain files to your iDisk, you could download them to your new laptop and open them with the iWeb application. Beyond that, unless you know a way to hack into the system on your desktop machine...
I keep mine (Domains) on a usb thumb drive that I always carry with my laptop. You can even click on them straight from the drive and iWeb will open them for editing and publishing.
