Moving site folder problem

I have a web site in a folder on my hard drive, if I open the
home/index page in DW I see all the files. Now I need to copy the
entire folder to another drive so I can make that the root folder
so I can upload to server. But soon as I copy the folder anywhere
else none of the files show, no bg no jpgs. The css file is still
attached
any help?

I had to recreate a page for a client, in order to preview
the page I made a folder on my website so I can preview without
disturbing the clients site. Now that the page is done I want to
upload to their server. so I tried to copy the folder with the
files and make a new root folder for a new site but I keep getting
broken links.
I never redefined the site, how do you do this? On my hd I
have 5 sites in a folder called DW Local inside that folder are 5
sites in 5 seperate folders in site1 I have a folder with the file
I need to upload to a client's server. I can open the file within
DW locally, preview in browser and even see the file on my server.
How do I move the folder with the files to another location without
breaking the links, has to be a way?
any help????

10.6.8 + moved Home Folder = problem?

I've got a 2008 MacPro with 4 hard drives. When I installed the extra drives, I moved my Home Folder off the boot drive and onto one of the spare drives using Accounts preference->Advanced options. This has worked like a champ for several years (10.5 & 10.6).
When I did the upgrade to 10.6.8 from 10.6.7, the boot process now hangs on the grey Apple POST screen. I've tried single user mode plus resetting the PRAM and nothing works. I had to revert to 10.6.7 to get it boot.
Here's what I did to troubleshoot:
Downloaded and ran Combo update
I've run Disk Utility and the drive shows no issues.
Ran Disk permissions.
Tried booting in Single User mode
Tried booting in safe mode
Tried booting in Verbose mode
None would get past the POST screen.
Plus: Installed 10.6 on a spare drive and updated to 10.6.8 and have no issues as long as I keep the Home Folder on the boot drive.
Here's how I got my system back but not running 10.6.8
Re-installed 10.6 and did combo update to 10.6.7 then reset my user account to point to old home folder. System works just like prior to 10.6.8.
Anyone else have this issue?

well, it's caused by software only, there is nothing wrong with airport hardware

Small problem after moving music folder

I moved my music folder to an external drive and used the consolidate library afterwards. All the music was moved with no problems and I have no exclamation points anywhere.
My only problem was I had purchased three iPod games. They are still located in the old folder on my Mac drive but they no longer show on iTunes so they have been removed from the iPod. How can I get these games back into iTunes?
Thanks

I posted just before you did that this was why they were not showing up. Problem is solved. The Phaze game also has a playlist and I got it to recreate the playlist by deleting it then restarting iTunes. I added songs to it and then resynced. No more problems.

How I Solved My "Can't Import My Home Folder" Problem While Staying Sane

This may be a well-known work-around for Time Machine and Migration Assistant, but I didn't find any reference to it in searching in Google (which included some threads here), so I thought I'd post it in case anyone else is experiencing similar problems.
I was having problems with some program install permissions and tried fixing them in more traditional ways without success, so I decided it was a good day for an Erase and Reinstall of Leopard.
I didn't want to copy my entire Home directory's contents and I have 6 HDs (four internal and two external) totaling about 1.5TBs. So, to prepare for the reinstall, rather than use Backup, I copied all important files to my other drives and then I copied my Home directory to another drive in the machine. Satisfied that everything was backed-up, I reinstalled Leopard using the Erase and Install option and soon had a good system, fully updated.
However, when I went to copy the Home Directory I kept getting errors saying that I can't alter these files and folders, even when I drilled down into the subdirectories. I didn't try copying individual files, but then I had no desire to do so given the amount of time that would take.
I looked around but could find no good solution. However, I did come up with a workaround and this is what I did:
First, I moved my Home Folder designation to the one on the backup hard drive by:
1) Go to System Preferences
2) Click the lock to make changes and enter your user password
3) Right-Click on your User Account and select "Advanced Options"
4) From the drop-down window, to the right of the "Home Directory" box select "Choose..."
5) Navigate to the backup User Account home folder and select it and click "OK
6) Relock the Accounts pane
7) Now you can delete the "old" Home Folder under your OS drive: Users/user account
8) Now just copy the backed-up Home Folder (that is now your real Home Folder) to the OS drive: Users/user account
9) Repeat steps2, 3 and 4, this time selecting your now moved Home Folder in the OS drive: Users/user account
10) Now you can delete the backup or keep it AS a backup.
I know this is a kludgey, wrong way to do backup and that Backup is the way to go, but for those out there who don't do it or have some problem restoring it, this is a possible way around so that you don't end up having to restore everything by hand.
This workaround may have already been discussed and well-known, but I had not seen it and am posting this in the hopes that it will help someone in trouble.

joeldm,
There is a "proper" way to do what you have done. First, one must create an account within the new installation using the exact same username and short name that was used in the old installation. Then, one enables the "root" account and logs in as root.
Within the root account, the local HOME folder that was created for the user is placed in the trash, then replaced with a (same-named) copy from the backup. THat HOME folder copy will be onwed by root, so this command must be run in Terminal:
<pre style="overflow:auto; font-family: 'Monaco'; font-size: 10px">chown -R username:staff /Users/username</pre>
In the above command, all instances of "username" are replaced with the user's short name. For example, if the user's name is "fred," the command would be typed exactly like this:
<pre style="overflow:auto; font-family: 'Monaco'; font-size: 10px">chown -R fred:staff /Users/fred</pre>
The command is executed when <RETURN> is pressed. NOTE: The specific command listed above applies only to 10.5.
One would then log out of the "root" account, and into the account in question. If all seems well, one would log back into the root account, empty the trash, then log out of and disable the root account.
Alternatively, if there is a Time Machine backup that can be used, the Time Machine interface can be used in the root account to replace the trashed HOME folder, instead of copying manually in the Finder. This would generally be a better method to use, if possible.
Scott
EDIT: If one wishes to replace/restore only certain portions of a HOME folder, this is possible. The same methods would apply to only limited segments within a HOME folder. -s

Moving a folder to a subfolder?

Hi all,
Maybe my question is really basic, but I just can't find a solution.
I have created a folder in the main Power BI site on Office365. Now I'd like to move this folder into another folder.
How can I do this?
Regards,
Pascal

Hi Pascal, moving a folder is supported at the level of SharePoint itself. One of the easy options is to open the document library in explorer and simply move the folder to the right position in the document library. (see below how you get to it in SPO).
BTW, you can see also the following movie
showing this concept

Moved itunes folder to external drive and now lost playlists

To free space on my hard drive, I moved the folder to my external drive. Now, I successfully can access my music library, but my playlists aren't listed and I can't figure out how to get them/point to them. Any ideas?
Thanks!
Compaq Windows XP

polydorus, you are my hero. I launched itunes with the shift key down and was able to select the library on the external drive. I would not have thought of that. Thanks so much.
shockme, I found changed the folder name under the advanced tab wasn't enough. I used File>Import and imported the music from the external drive no problem.
mlevin, I was really scared deleted the original file too. I checked several times that the exact number of bytes were moved in case I wanted to go back. Change the music location, do the import, fix the playlists and get all going and then I assume you can delete the contents in the music folder like I did. Then I did a defrag to clean things up. Good luck!

403 Forbidden on Apache for a web page in my own encrypted Sites folder

Greetings,
I'm developing a php web site, putting files in my account's "Sites" folder.
My whole account is encrypted (not by File Vault, but by moving it in an encrypted .dmg by ditto and niutil, instead) and I'd like the web site itself to be, too: for now I want it my eyes only. Everything I use (iApps, etc.) works fine, so I think I adjusted my encrypted home right.
But, I can't view my own web pages in Safari: when I try any location such http://localhost/~myusername[/myfile] I get a 403 Forbidden error.
File permissions seem right and Personal Web Sharing is on. Moreover, if I create a brand new user and move it (via ditto and niutil) in the same encrypted .dmg, it suffers the same fate.
Any other non-encrypted account's web page, e.g. http://localhost/~otherusername is reachable from my encrypted account.
I wonder if all that's about Apache configuration, which I'm not skilled enough to fix.
Thanks to anyone caring to help.

Hi Begli, and a warm welcome to the forums!

Damaged domain in sites folder

Created web site and published to site folder on local machine then uploaded to web site.
Local "domain" in the site folder where iWeb saves some how got corrupted.
Downloaded web site thinking I could rebuild it using iWeb.
Not so lucky.
Is there a way to save the download web site so that iWeb will open it?

iWeb cannot import or read html files, only create them. You'll have to rebuild the site from scratch. However, Chapter 2.3 of the iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the published files in the reconstruction of the site.
Do you still have the problem domain file? If so what was the problem?

How to properly get folders, files into Dreamweaver Defined Site Folder from desktop

I, obviously am a new Dreamweaver user, and I need to know
the proper way of going about getting a folder, files, ect. from my
hard drive into my Dreamweaver defined site folder. I understand
how to insert an image from my hard drive into DW and it shows up
in my site folder in the Files Panel. More specifically, using
Lightbox2, after downloading Lightbox and placing those elements in
a new folder on my hard drive, what is the proper way to get that
folder into my site folder?
Also, how can I properly add images to an images folder in my
site folder in DW for possible later use, without inserting them on
the page. I know by inserting them on the page from a folder on my
hard drive, Dreamweaver prompts me for DW to recognize them. I
would like to know how I can get them in there and DW to recognize
them without actually inserting them on my page.
And can and how can I move files, images, pages from one site
to another? or should I? Thanks, if anyone can help me with these
file moving questions.

To restate courtney's explanation, *anything* that you paste
into the site's
local root folder will appear in DW's File panel, and will be
considered by
DW to be a part of the site.

Where is the Sites folder in Mavericks?

Where is the Sites folder in Mavericks? Only now I am realizing that I don't have a Sites folder where it used to be: Go/Home/Sites
My local website folder used to be in the Sites folder. I am having website-synchronizing problems.
I just started using Mavericks (on one of my hard drives) regularly.

It is part of mail but if missing you could go to the top and pick mailbox and pick new and name that Junk.

Missing Sites folder - apache

I have had a few problems with the apache built into mac but I think I am closer to the answer, I think I have some how deleted the user/yorkichadwick/Sites folder which is why I get site not found on server.
The Sites folder is still there but I realised all this when I did a ls -ld ~/Sites/
and I was told
ls: /Users/yorkiechadwick/Sites/: No such file or directory
How can I replace this missing directory?

Thank you, I had been getting advice from so many forums and really thought I had screwed up apche until today when I came acroos this error. I till had a sites folder but it wasn't working who would have thought that such a simple solution would be to create a new sites folder and just shift the files. It is a miracle it worked. So much for all the command line, terminal tapping investigation everyone had been pointing me to.

Remote Site Access Problem

I am updating to Dreamweaver MX on a MacBook from an older
version I had been using on a G3. When using the ftp within
Dreamweaver, I can access all my website files on the remote server
with the older version, but when I connect to that server using the
ftp within MX, I see only a remote folder named Webdocs that can
not be opened. I've already updated all the html files in MX and
defined them in a local site folder on the MacBook. Any idea how to
get that Webdocs folder to open?

> Is it a problem that the local root folders have
different names since they
> are on different hard drives?
no.
Question: in the one that doesn't connect, is the icon for
the local site
folder a computer folder icon, or a network connection icon?

How to recognize site folder after formatting HD

I did some search on the forum before posting but didn't find an answer. And my problem is this:
Few weeks back I formatted my HD and re-installed everything back from scratch. I have a backup of my previous site folder that was designed by iWeb09. But now after re-installing iWeb09 I don't know how to make it recognize it.
Thank you for your help in advance.

No... you got me wrong! It is not because of that I rate it as backward!
Backward in the sense of capability, flexibility and professionalism. The only thing that forced me to use iWeb was the shift to Mac early last year. And I started with it out of curiosity to see what it can do.
IMO it's only strength is the ease of use... other than that, it fails. I don't want to promote other softwares here, but I was using one on my PC I think I'll get back to it now through Bootcamp.

Site folder doesn't exist?

Hello all,
I am running Dreamweaver 8 on Mac OX 10.4.8. I recently went
to open my index file for one of my site folders, but DW gives me
an error message stating that the item was not found. If I go into
Finder, all my files are still there, as well as all my folders for
each site I've created. When I go to open any of my site folders,
it says, " the local root folder does not exist, please select a
new root folder by clicking manage sites..." If I go to Finder and
open any one of the files, they open OK in DW. Why isn't DW
recognizing that the site folders are there? Please help!

> on Mac OX 10.4.8. I recently went to open my index
> file for one of my site folders, but DW gives me an
error message
my first thought is this is likely to be an issue with Hard
drive or folder
names on macintosh that has been an issue with dw on mac
since the start.
to rule this in or out as being the problem- pls do this:
Open a new dw document using File-->New
-->don't save this file<--
Insert an image from this site's local site folder
look in code view, and copy that <img> tag and paste
into your reply.
I'm looking to see what the SRC of that image tag is- it
should show the
complete local path like
src="file:///hdname/Users/~you/folder/folder/folder/file.jpg"
background info:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_14452
synopsis- use of some characters in hd name or folder names
can cause dw to
not be able to resolve the path to the local site folder on
mac. Leading
blank space in the HD name, or punctuation in folder names
for example.

Can't serve Sites folder

During an upgrade of PHP, I seemed to have "corrupted" my Apache installation. I can serve from the /Library/WebServer/Documents folder by typing http://localhost into my web browser, but I cannot serve from my Sites folder by typing http://localhost/~adwatson/index.html (or /phpMyAdmin or any of my other local sites with the http://localhost/~adwatson prefix). My guess is that something got altered in the httpd.conf file, but I'm not sure where to start.
Thanks in advance.

Ok, I'm getting closer to figuring this out with all of your help. I had previously installed Apache 2.2.4, but then learned this was a bad idea because future OS X upgrades could cause serious problems if anything but the Apple-installed version of Apache were present. So I "mv apachectl apachectl-2.2.4" in the appropriate directory and "mv apachectl-1.3 apachectl" in the appropriate directory to restore my original installation....or so I thought. I checked the error log as suggested by Gnarlodious and found entries up until the date of my upgrade and none since supposedly reverting to 1.3. I then checked the console, and sure enough, I'm still run 2.2.4. Therefore, I've been looking at the wrong httpd.conf file this whole time. Needless to say, the default Darwin install layout did not give the Apple-sanctioned installation.
So, how do I completely uninstall 2.2.4 so I can be rid of this problem? I want no part of 2.2.4.
Thanks for all your help.
