Managing Sites In DW CS3

I some how changed my settings and my local files address is
now preceded by ftp:// . I use to be able to see files in expanded
form for both Local and Remote files. How do I change back to what
I had before? My site's home page is now all messed up since some
of the links have been changed.

Since you use standard
http:// protocol, and since your online site can
be viewed properly, you are likely well-positioned for a full
recovery.
STEP ONE: If, as you have suggested, your local and remote
Dreamweaver folders appear identical, then everything that you have
online is likely also on your local hard disk. Just in case it is
not, you should back up your local folder before taking any further
action. Move it to a safe place and even change its name so as to
avoid confusion.
STEP TWO: After having backed up your local folder, delete
your site from your Manage Sites menu. This will destroy
Dreamweaver's record of your online site, so that you can start
over.
STEP THREE: Return to the Manage Sites Menu and click on New.
Make sure that you select Site and not FTP/RDS.
STEP FOUR: If you can understand the Advanced tab, use it to
create your new site. Otherwise, use the Basic tab and begin from
scratch. In either case download what is online back into your
computer, so as to be sure that everything on you computer is as it
appears online.
STEP FIVE: If there is anything missing in your newly created
local folder, then you can recover it by copying from the folder
that you backed up. Copy only content -- HTML, JPEG, and the like.
It is probably best not to copy anything created by Dreamweaver, as
you do not appear sufficiently familiar with the application to
know what could hurt or harm you.

How redefine existing site in DW cs3?

Hello everyone,
I use Dreamweaver CS3. I had to move onto a new old G5 when the old old one died, and also have updated my OS to 10.5.8, and reinstalled Dreamweaver. This appears to have erased my site definitions in Site > Manage Sites, which is now a blank slate.
I'm updating my web site, which is proceeding OK within DW. But how do I best proceed with redefining (?) my site (already existing) on my computer, and successfully upload the changes to my hosting service?
Also, I don't see the FTP client ikon anywhere to connect to my ISP, which I assume is because there's no site definition info in Site > Manage Sites.
Any help you can give me is greatly appreciated.

Same as the first time you set up the site
Treat it as a new site and enter all the needed info.

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?

Manage Sites - How to define skeleton

Hi all,
My apologies if this has already been answered, I just can't
find it, and googled all day today to find a solution, so you guys
are my last resort.
I do like the Manage Sites option, and use it quite
extensively (Win/Mac Platform). Now I would like to be able to
specify a default folder structure to be created everytime I create
a new Site. Basically cutting out the middleman, creating the
folder structure first in Windows Exploder and then having to go
back to dreamweaver and pointing to the 'doc root', is quite
repetative.
If I recall it correctly, the New Site Manager creates by
default just the docroot, and if specified the images folder. Is
there a way to have a predefined folderstructure created, everytime
I create a new Site with Site Manager ?
I simply refuse to believe that Adobe / Macromedia overlooked
such a useful feature.
Any help or pointers to plugins is greatly appreciated
Windows / Mac : Dreamweaver CS3
Thanks

It doesn't create anything. You do.

Exporting site info from CS3 to CS4

How do I export my "remote info" under "manage sites" from CS3 to CS4? I have about 30 sites under "manage sites" and would hate to have to dig up all the passwords after the upgrade. I used the "export" button in CS3, but it didn't bring in the remote info.

1. In CS3, open Site Manager
2. Select the sites you want to Export
3. Click Export and select a KNOWN location into which to write the *.ste files
4. Open CS4.
5. Open Site Manager
6. Click IMPORT, browse to and select the site files you just exported and click OK.
Such fundamental questions as this are always answered in DW's F1 Help. You'd have been done an hour ago if you had looked there.

Manage Sites/FTP: Can't see site files in local view.

Dreamweaver 5.5
Mac OS X.6.8
I have several sites set up in Dreamweaver. All are working correctly except one. This one site I moved files using Finder into a deeper directory and then moved them back up to the top level directory. I have been working with the site since and saving, so that's not the issue. I am mentioning it because that is the only unique thing about the site that isn't working.
When I look at the site in the Files panel, I can see the directory I set up in Manage Sites but no files inside it. If I put all to my remote site, 0 bytes are transferred.
So far I have
1. removed the site and created a new one.
2. Closed the app, blown away Drmwvr prefs, and reopened. The site is still there, so that prefs file doesn't cover it.
Any ideas? I cannot FTP files to my host if Dreamweaver doesn't "see" the files I need to put.
Thx

Moving files in Finder is fine as long as you can follow the moves in your files panel. Troubles start when you move files outside of DW and then can't keep up with them. Broken links, orphaned pages, etc.
In Sites>Manage Sites you need to Edit the site in question and browse to the new root folder location. Then browse to the images folder and SpryAssets folder if you have one. Once you have redefined the site with the proper locations, the files will appear in the panel in DW.
As long as you haven't deviated from the correct structure on the server, you should be able to put files and they will upload.
As a rule, when moving or renaming files in a defined site, do it from within the Files Panel in DW, not in Finder. DW will update links and pages when you do and things will go much more smoothly.

My Default Website Folder & Manage Sites info Not Appearing

The pop up box on the right with the Files, Assets, and Snippets has somehow changed my default "AAA_WebSite" folder under the Files tab to show "Computer." I can still drill down to the correct folder, but since it's not set to the correct folder, all my "Manage Sites" info is missing as well.
Any thoughts?

If you're referring to what I think you're referring to, that's the Site Manager dropdown box where you can quick jump between sites in DW and select which site you want to work on.
Click the box (where it says Computer) and select "AAA_WebSite" from the dropdown menu.

Manage Sites Dialog Box Screen Redraw Problem

Using Dreamweaver CS6.0.1 on Mac Mountain Lion 10.8.2. When I open the "Manage Sites" dialog box, certain parts of the box are not visible unless I wave or click my mouse on that portion of the screen. Really sick of this. Also text entry into design view in Dreamweaver is maddeningly slow. I've got a fast Mac Pro with an SSD and 48 GB of RAM. Seriously would like to find the answers to these problems.

I have Dreamweaver CS6 on a MacBook Air with 4GB of RAM running OS X 10.8.2, and don't experience the problems you relate. However, there are some people on Macs who have been experiencing problems with 100% CPU and slow typing. Apparently these problems have been fixed in the Creative Cloud 12.1 update. If you're not a Creative Cloud subscriber, a fix should be coming shortly. See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1100065.

Colour Management Issue with PS CS3 and Leopard 10.5.2

Hi Everyone,
Since I have installed Leopard I am having colour management issues with Photoshop CS3 and my Canon i9950 printer.
My screen is calibrated with a Spyder and I used to ask Photoshop (in 10.4.11) to manage colour when printing and used the Spyder profile. Everything came out as I saw it on screen.
Now in leopard when I do the same thing everything comes out too yellow on the print. If I ask Photoshop to let the printer manage the colour it is too red. If I use the default colour management (photoshop managing the colour and it choosing the colour space it is better, but still too yellow).
Photoshop gives the hint to turn off colour management in the printer but there is no option for this and it also said the same thing before of course (when it worked in 10.4.11).
Any ideas?
Thanks.

>It was working perfectly in Tiger with the monitor profile.
You were lucky.
the monitor profile is so Photoshop can display your images correctly.
the working space is Adobe RGB, sRGB, BruceRGB, ect... these are all known color spaces so when the file goes to another computer there is a consistent color space for reference. If you use your monitor profile as a working space then nobody else knows what is going on with your file.
when you print you need to use the printer profile for the type of paper you are printing on this is supplied by the printer manufacturer. you can also have custom profiles made.
you need to read up on color management:

Dreamweaver CS4 - Existing Site Name Changed in Manage Sites

Please help me! I have an existing site name from Manage Sites become slightly different site name from original.
For example, existing site name was fashionstars, now become ftp://fashionstars, with ftp:// in it. ( It happen when I did some try and error approach to do certain task, or press the wrong buttons etc) Is there any possibility to change back to original name fashionstars and how to do it? Otherwise I won't be able to upload files to remote site because of different site name appeared in Manage Sites.
Should I remove the modified site name ftp://fashionstars and recreate a new site name fashionstars and copy all exiting files from local site folder to new fashionstars?
Regards,
SSYYDD

Additional information, I use MacBook Pro to run Dreamweaver CS4. The existing site has 150 MB file size, hundreds of files, so to recreate new site name, it has to start to create all manually, will take a long time. Is there any other ways I can recreate site fashionstars without to start all over again?
I am very worry about this, it may not be able to fix it. My website is stuck, won't be able to upload files any more.
Another problem is that I lost the SITE DEFINITIONS for fashionstars or htp://fashionstars . When I go to Manage Sites to edit site of ftp://fashionstars, it goes to CONFIGURE SERVER, not the SITE DEFINITIONS for fashionstars or ftp://fashionstars. Please help me.
( note that I use the name fashionstars as an example only, not my real site name)
Thank you.

Manage Sites console not working

when i go to edit a site and i have a choice of selecting site, server, version control and advanced. I cant click on any of them and as i have changed my password with my host i need to change on ftp and it wont let me in help?

Let's start from scratch. Please restart your system and then fire up DW. Tell us which version of DW you are using.
Open DW's Site manager by using SITE > Manage Sites..., select a site and click on EDIT (or the pencil icon) to open the Site Setup panel for that site.
Are you with me so far?

DW CS5.5 "Put" cannot ftp but Manage Site Test can

In DW CS 5.5 Build 11.5, clicking on "Put" or "Get" generates the error message "An FTP error occurred - cannot make connection to the host" but at Site>Manage Sites>Server>Test, I get "Adobe DW CS 5.5 connected to your Web server successfully". Is there more than one place in DW to configure FTP? Thank you.

After not working for a week, suddenly today DW works. "Put" and "Get" both connect. The only thing I did in the interim was successfully run Site>Manage Sites>Server>Test several times over several days. I am grateful for whatever fixed the problem, but I cannot explain it. I thank those of you here who read and considered my question.
