Migrating a test site to an existing BC site

I am trying to migrate a site creating as a trial using a BC GURUS template to an existing e-commerce site hosted by BC.
Is there any easy way to do this without having to recreate modules, web forms, etc - basically all the work I did with the trial? I'd love to just ditch the existing site and go with the new one, but I would be forfeiting customer orders, cases, and pretty much all reports, etc, right?
In the future I am definitely creating a test directory within the existing site to avoid this mess, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

Using a single website for testing while running older existing webpages

quick question guys
our company has an older existing webspace and website running
i'm currently re-doing the website and would like to test how it currently runs online but without disabling the existing older pages, how can this be done?
when i looked at the online space of the existing site via ftp program, it contains 4 folders:
cgi-bin
logs
private
public
public is where all the current website is housed. what are the other folders for? they are currently empty.
can i simply create a folder called test1 and upload all the files for the new site into this folder in the existing public folder and access it by simply using the "test1" folder in my webaddress?
eg. existing site:
www.website.com
test site:
www.website.com/test1
will this work? all my coding (js, css) has filepaths pointing to their respective folders from the root, ie "../css/website.css" etc. will all the root access to the new site work this way?
hope you understand my question.
thanks for any input

hey everyone
thanks so much for the answers and feedback
I eventually followed osgood's example and created a two letter folder (name "ts") and uploaded it to the public folder of our existing website with the relevant new files.
I was then able to access those files (well a single page right now) in browser by simply appending the folder name at the end of the existing webaddress:
acompany.net -existing page
acompany.net/ts/ - location of new webpage(s)
when i add more pages they should be referenced within this folder only,unless i have specific outside links to go to, correct?
i'm curious as to why there are so many various and warning messages about doing testing this way? is it really bad? will search engines remember these test pages and degrade the company's web prescence later?? i guess with larger corporate sites with hundreds of pages, more caution has to be used? I hope i'm not doing anything harmful to the existing webstanding of the online site.

I always include the test folder in the public folder to begin with but use a meta tag to stop search engines indexing the pages.
I'm always a bit nervous about moving things around once extensive testing has been undertaken incase something breaks
You could then just redirect the root level index file to point to the test folder, just rename the folder to something more discret like the initials of the company name.
so www.thiscompany/tc looks better than www.thiscompany/test
Of course if you have any absolute url coding in the site you will have to change that too so it points to the correct file. You'd have to do that anyway
This http://www.thiscompany.co.uk/test/images/image_1.jpg is not going to be the same as http://www.thiscompany.co.uk/images/image_1.jpg

Migrating from Test Database to Production Database

Hi,
I have a situation where I created my Portal Pages on test database and now, I want to move everything from test database to my production database. The portal version on both the sites is same (3.0.9.8). I have content areas and applications in my existing test site. What is the best and easiest way to achieve this?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Jatinder

Hi,
the easiest way is to make an export of the portal schema en import it into you're production database.
greetings

I'm trying to publish a test site from Muse and it won't work

I made changes to an existing test site and I want to publish the updates so my client can approve. I told it to publish, but in the "Publish to" and "Data Center" fields, it says "Query Failed". Any suggestions? Thanks!

Usually a connection problem. Try closing down Muse and starting it again.

Local Test site will not transfer files to prview in browser

I designed a web site in DW the remote site works/views correctly, but the local testing site index page will not preview below the header in any browser with the files it need to view corrrectly.
I am working on a mac 10.6.8 using DW 5.5. I had my local testing server working correctly viewing these files from a browser for about 1.5 year then it stopped working and stopped transfering some files from the index page.
The activity report lists all the files that were not transferred.
and this report;
File activity incomplete. 2 file(s) or folder(s) were not completed.
Files updated: 2
Files skipped: 20

Just to clarify, you have defined a Local Testing Server in Dreamweaver.
What are the setup details for your testing server?
You have installed either MAMPP, XAMP or WAMP on your computer.
Are you sure your server is running?
Does your index page contain valid code?

Mom's IChat won't connect to apple test site.

Trying to IChat with the mom on her older IMac. She runs OSX 10.2.8 with 768RAM and with IChat 2.0 We used to have no problem when I was in China and she in NYC. Now, nothing works. I can connect into the apple test sight, so the problem doesn't seem to be on my end. When she starts Ichat, she can preview herself, and gets a camera icon by her name. I see her on my Buddy list with a camera icon by her name. However, she only sees me with a phone icon, and she only sees the apple test site with a phone icon. Any ideas would be most appreciated.

Both can connect to test sites but not videochat with each other

I am using a 2GHz PPC iMac on 10.4.6 with external iSight. I can see the Apple ad from one of the test sites. My wife is using a G4 PowerBook running the latest Panther OS with external iSight. She is in a hotel but can also see the Apple ad from the test site. When she was home, we could videochat over Bonjour.
But, while she is in the hotel out of town, we couldn't videochat with each other. Whether one initiated or the other did, we both get the "XXX failed to respond" message even though we obviously did accept the videocall.
If we both can videochat with the test sites, how come we cannot videochat with each other?
Given the above, I hope some experts can rule out a bunch of stuff and let me know the finite (and small) set of potential reasons affecting our situation so that I can work on resolving this efficiently.
What could be the likely problem?
On my side, I use an Apple AEBS that uses DHCP and NAT but my iMac is manually set to 10.0.1.201. I have set the ports in Firewall but even when I turned off Firewall it did not work.
Any help is much appreciated.

Hi Heng-Yee Yong,
The test sites are most likely set to have the ports open by UPnP which does not use NAT.
If you modem is routing and is using Port Forwarding and the Airport is as well then you have two lots of NAT going on at your end.
I would Open Airport Admin Utilty (Applications/Utilities) and log on to the Airport
Go to the Network tab.
Deselect Distributing Addresses which wll trun off NAT in the Airport and make it a Wireless access device.
This means your computer will have to take an IP form the Modem.
This may not be rquired if the modem id is Bridge mode itself as this measn it is not routing and all port will be open without the use of NAT.
This App can help identify if NAT is a problem
http://bleu.west.spy.net/~dustin/projects/natcheck.xtp
Or at least whether you have Consistent NAT or not.

Mea Culpa - Internet Explorer now renders my iWeb 2 test site correctly?

After umpteen server tweaks I finally got my iWeb 2 test site uploaded
http://www.mjweber.com/mjwredsite/mjweber/welcome.html
It displayed as designed in Safari on my MBP. I then fired up XP in Parallels and loaded the site in Internet Explorer. I didn't expect it to work but it did. Now I'm really stymied!
I've had numerous compatibility issues with iWeb 2 and IE in the past week paralleled here by hundreds of other posts here. Now, when I finally upload the site, it suddenly works?
Either the Internet gods are playing with me or the IE incompatibility stems from launching a published iWeb 2 folder from a local XP hard drive. That's where my navigation menus didn't display. What else can I say? I'm going to have a drink.
I'd appreciate independent site validations by anyone not using Safari or OS X... Linux, Unix, Windows, Netscape, IE, etc. Thanks!

Hi thanks for the advice, the text is centred vertically , left aligned and there is plenty of space at the end. I will try increasing width/height but not sure if that will help as box is already much bigger than text.
In fact it works perfectly on another web page ...thats what surprising ....even the html for the two pages is identical from what we can see!
Take a look at
www.cibsys.com/cibsys1/index.html on the UK site and run down the various pages on the left side to see what happens (if you have IE on a PC). On the PC on some pages perhaps 30% eg workflow services the menu on the left fails to draw correctly leaving the text un readable.
Thanks

How to test whether a table exists in database?

How can I test whether a table exists in a database before I execute a query? If the table doesn't exist, I want first create a default table with certain name so that I can always display something in JTable.
Thanks!

Hi,
There are tow ways :
The first one is :
- load the list of tables of the Database in a Vector for exemple by using methode DatabaseMetaData.getTables () and you can test if the table exist or not in the vector by using methode Vector.contains(Object o).
The code seems Like that :
// Loading List Of Tables
// you need to load the list of tables at the begening of
// your class
Vector listOfTables = new Vector();
try
rs = yourConnection.getMetaData().getTables();
while (rs.next())
listOfTables.addElement(rs.getString(3));
catch(SQLException exp)
// When you need to test the existance of table name
// you add this line
if(listOfTables.contains(tableName))
// your code
The second one :
try
//execute your query
catch
//Create your default JTable
I hope that my response can help you!
Ciaou,
Anis

Password protecting test site

Hi I wanted to password protect a test site I have been making to show to selected people. I found this tutorial using PHP which seems pretty straightforward.
http://www.zubrag.com/scripts/password-protect.php
The one problem is it says It will show you protection code to include into your pages. "Sample protection code would look like this (yours will be different): <?php include("/home/users/htdocs/security/password_protect.php"); ?>
Add that line of code to each php page you would like to protect at the very beginning of the page source (it must be the first line)." Now the problem is that my page is html based, can I add a token PHP page to my index page that just has that bit of code in to password protect it and how would I add the PHP page?
Thanks in advance

Hi
Try the htaccess generator for dreamweaver extension - http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=extensionDetail&extid=1698154.
Check with your server provider to ascertain you type of server you are using as this requires Apache, but similar code is available for IIS.
The htaccess file is a simple file that you upload to your server and will 'point' to the folder you wish to protect.

I just bought a new macbook pro and my CS6 migrated, but now when I open existing documents, it launches a free trial version. There doesn't appear to be a way to enter my serial number or communicate that I simply have a new computer. HELP! There is no customer support for this. I can't believe what a poor service company Adobe is!!

The problem was that you migrated CS6. Unfortunately, migration doesn't work because it doesn't move all the files.
First, you'll need to use the Adobe Cleaner Tool to remove the components that were installed:

Second, you should install a clean copy of CS6. Here is a link:
