Site Cache - Large Site - Unbearable

I have a large site, around 25,000 pages. With site cache
enabled, DM8 takes 2 1/2 hours or more when changing a template to
update files and save site cache (around a 158MB file...). Is there
any way around this, apart from breaking the site into multiple
sites to speed things up?

Please make this good suggestion directly to the team -

Don't firefox ofusers of my site cache my site pages

HTTP Header
Cache-Control: private, no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate
was used but still caching the page. I can view even authenticated pages by using work offline.
please <b>help

Hi intercept0r,
Please run some tests with this add on [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/modify-headers/ Modify Headers] with your site. I think that this may have to do with that you have put all of the parameters with no specifications.
For example:
Cache-Control "max-age=3600, must-revalidate"
must revalidate usually needs a time set
Check out this for more details [http://www.mobify.com/blog/beginners-guide-to-http-cache-headers/]
However it may also be that we can test in the Web Inspector what may be changing from the response header to the no-cache, no-store headers.
I look forward to your reply!

Cannot recreate site cache

My templates are not updating the children pages and I cannot
recreate my site cache through - site - advanced. It is greyed out.
Is there another way to recreate the site cache?
Can anyone help?

Yes. Define a new site that points to the same root folder.

IWeb error messages -- can't publish large site after upgrade.

I just upgraded to iLife 09 and all of my websites showed up red in the new iWeb - indicating that they needed to be published. I hadn't changed any of them since the upgrade but I figured it was part of the upgrade to republish all of them.
Whenever I try to publish the sites I get the following message:
An error occurred while publishing file “/private/var/folders/pM/pMWBd0yEF04cfDIeAZkuPE+TI/TemporaryItems/com.apple.iWeb7281_TEMP_288612390_15/sites/JW/Things_and_Such_files/shapeimage2.png”. Try publishing again later.
I've tried all the usual suggestions. I threw away the preferences files and cache files for iWeb. I logged out of MobileMe and logged back in. I tried to publish from an older version of my Domain file from Time Machine. If I tell it to publish the site to my desktop then it works just fine. The site that it has problems with creates a 179MB folder on my desktop when I publish to my desktop. The other two sites that I have in iWeb publish perfectly in MobileMe but are not bigger than 3 MB each.
I tried moving parts of the larger site out of it, publishing the significantly shrunken page and then adding the rest back in smaller pieces. It will publish the smaller selection with no problem. It won't let me add the pieces back in, however. IWeb freezes up when I try and I have to reload the previous Domain file from Time Machine.
So, my question is: Is there a limit to the size of site that can be published using iWeb? If so how do I get around this?

Reboot fixed it.

DW CS3 iterates "forever" on large sites when renaming a folder

I have done some more investigation (read below) if you are
interested, but my main observation is that
DW CS3 interates multiple times on EACH file when doing a folder
rename which causes this action to take literally hours on a large
site (? - never did finish).
Questions:
1. How can i allocate more memory for DW (no option in
Edit>Preferences)
2. What other things can i try?
Tests done:
1. Dell Dimension 8300, Pentium 4, 2.60GHz, 4gb RAM.
2. Recreated site cache (thanks Joris) before running any
test
2. folder rename - 292 files - DW never finished, kept
iterating on all files, occasionally get sharing violation on
MFCxxx.tmp
3. folder rename - 32 files (same site, just removed 260
files) - DW finished in < 1 minute
edited to say: doing a global replace on a string in the
entire site takes about 10 minutes for all 292 files but this
action is only occurring once on each file.
Thanks,
Steve

Dreamweaver CC 2014 crashes when updating site cache

Hi everyone,
I'm using Dreamweaver CC 2014 on the Mavericks operating system for mac. Dreamweaver attempts to update a site cache for one of my sites but then it pauses for a few minutes and then crashes. I thought it could have been a corrupted cache file so I deleted the MacFileCache-********.dat file inside the Dreamweaver configuration folder but this didn't work. I tested again and I got the same result.
I just wondered if anyone has had this problem or whether there's a workaround?
Appreciate any advice.

I do have one workaround that worked for MOST of my folders. It is NOT the best option--but it helped me get a little more of my website recognized. (This is working on a mac with the latest version of Mavericks. Who knows WHAT Yosemite will do!)
I dragged my biggest folders out of the larger 'site' folder and on to the desktop. I ignored them and just began with the dreamweaver site manager--creating my site by pointing to the first few folders that had been listed under 'site'. Then, I added the folders on the desktop a few at a time. It worked until I got to a larger, complicated folder...then it froze again. I worked on this all day-- and I'm done for now. But I'm not giving up. With Adobe, there is always a good outcome. Sometimes, it just takes a little longer.
If I get all the kinks out, I'll let you know. Meantime, the more people who ask the question, perhaps the more likely it is to get a little help.
THANKS.

How to Boot DW5 without loading Site Cache?

Is there a way to start/open Dreamweaver 5 without the site cache loading first? I realize it loads because i have the "enable cache" checked, but I'm in a weird situation where the cache takes six hours to load. I need a way to bring up DreamWeaver so i can disable the "eable cache."
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Im runnig Windows 7 professional, if it matters.
Thanks

the cache takes six hours to load
6 hours to load? Literally? How large is the site? What are the computer specs? All the latest updates? 32bit/64bit? Anything more?
I know this isn't a KB article directly related to your problem, but try #12, 4 and 13.

DW CS3 not importing entire site cache from DW8

Hi;
I upgraded to the CS3 web premium suite from studio 8. My
site caches were
imported but the log on info for each was not. Is there a fix
for this ?
Thanks;
Pat

I dunno. Go into DW8 and EXPORT the site definitions with
their login info.
Import them into CS3.

CS3 DW freezes recreating site cache

I have a brand new iMac (2GB RAM) and just installed CS3
yesterday. I imported my old sites (exported to .ste files from my
PC) and when I go to point DW to my site's files on my local
fileserver (Windows server) all seems to go well until DW starts
recreating the site cache. It counts all the files in the site,
then on about the 2nd or 3rd file it freezes. I've deleted all the
sites I've created and tried to recreate one at a time, but still
no joy. Anyone else seen this?
Thanks,
Wm

Wm,
DW could be choking on a particular file. Try moving all of
your files
to a different folder to see if you can open the site. If so,
then start
moving them back 1 folder at a time to try to isolate the
problem.
HTH,
Randy

DW8 hangs at 'loading site cache'

I have been running DW8 on a Vista successfully for several months. Last night I ran DW8 and it got as far as 'loading site cache' and just hung. I've tried rebooting and reinstalling and still it hangs. There was another thread here about deleting files in the configuration folder -- I tried that and still no success.
My PC is a Dell Studio with 8 GB of RAM. I've never had this problem before.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Crash when updating site cache? MM_Username1?

Hi,
All of a sudden, tonight, DW8.0.2 will no longer open or load
one of my
sites, crashing when "Updating Site Cache". The site is ASP
linked to an SQL
database.
Checking the file that the cache gets to, I notice that the
problem file is
within a sub-directory of the site, called "/admin". Thing is
though, it's
not always the same file, but it IS always a file within the
/admin
sub-directory.
Within this sub-directory I altered, by hand, the Login User
code and
Restrict Access to Page code to create and use the session
variable
MM_Username1 as opposed to the default MM_Username.
Could this be the reason for the sudden trouble with the site
cache? I am
puzzled because the site was working fine for a few weeks
now, with this
sub-directory included, and I didn't create the MM_Username1
issue today
either, it has also been working fine for a good few weeks
now. I've also
not added anything new to the site, that I am aware of.
When I remove the sub-directory from the site, the Updating
Site Cache works
fine, so I am 100% sure there is a problem with the files
within this
sub-directory. How will I know which one though?
I've tried this, as recommended by Adobe, but I still get a
freeze-up when
re-creating the cache:
1. Try renaming the Dreamweaver user configuration folder, so
that
Dreamweaver will automatically generate a new user
configuration folder the
next time Dreamweaver launches. The Configuration folder is
located here:
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application
Data\Macromedia\Dreamweaver
8\Configuration
2. Recreate your Dreamweaver user settings in the registry as
follows:
Launch the Registry Editor by clicking the Start button,
choose Run, then
type "regedit". In the Registry Editor, navigate to this
folder:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Macromedia\Dreamweaver 8
Rename the "Dreamweaver 8" key to "DreamweaverOLD", so that
Dreamweaver will
automatically generate a new user settings key the next time
you launch it.
3. Recreate your Dreamweaver site definitions in the registry
as follows.
The steps below will delete your site definitions in
Dreamweaver.
4. Launch the Registry Editor by clicking the Start button,
choose Run, then
type "regedit". In the Registry Editor, navigate to this
folder:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Macromedia\Common\8\Sites
Rename the "Sites" key to "SitesOLD", so that Dreamweaver
will automatically
generate a new Sites key the next time you launch it.
Any further advice?
Regards
nath.

Found it! Jeesh.
I had a querystring value in my UPDATE redirect URL which was
coded
incorrectly!!!
I am frustrated that, rather than just highlighting the error
or, at the
very least, producing an error when opening the specific
file, this type of
thing crashed the entire DW programme.
The time I spent in Notepad today changing MM_Username1 back
to
MM_Username!! Turns out that was nothing to do with it.
<groan> Yeah,
that's right, laugh it up! :o)
Anyway, solved now. A misplaced ", %, ), (, <, >, &
etc can cause you no
end of grief! :o(

DW CS3 site cache problem

I upgraded to CS3 with no problems except I now find that if
I attempt to delete a word of pdf file that I know is linked to an
htm page, DW no longer gives me a warning message. This means that
If I do a sync. any updated word or pdf files do not get uploaded
to the server. If I do re-create the site cache the files still do
not get "re-linked". Anybody got an idea what is going on? I have
an awful lot of pdfs and docs linked from my site.
Thanx in advance

I figured out if I drag the file window to the left it will
stay on the left. I thought
before in previous version when you select files to be on the
left the preferences menu they would go to the left. Problem
solved.

Very Large Site

In my current environment I have the following setup: I have 1 content database assigned to a Web Application which has a single site collection with a single site. The content database is 190 GB. Is there a process to split
the content database into multiple smaller content databases ? Any other recommendations to manage the large content database?
Thanks
MP

Normally this would be a fairly routine operation, except for your one parameter that it is all one big site collection. Ouch. MS doesn't support splitting a site collection over two content databases, if you've ever taken a peek inside the contentDB
you'll see why.
There are a couple of things you can do though...
Best solution would be to analyze your site structures and see if there are some logical groupings. For instance, if you have a document center as part of your site collection that would be perfect to break out into its own site collection. if
you find your sites are grouped into units like departments and projects that would be another way to break up the site collections. try to identify classifications of sites and set up a governance/managed path that allows you to group each site
classification into it's own site collection. once they are broken out into site collections then you can move them around into seperate databases.
If grouping the sites into seperate site collection is not an option, the next best thing I've found is to enable the FILESTREAM and RBS. This is a little tricky and took me an hour or two to read through the documentation and practice on a test farm
a couple times. The default filesize out of box is 0K (meaning all blobs) but I've found it's generally better to set the break-point around 100K. The issue with this approach is of course backups and DR sites become just that much more complex,
but it will significantly reduce your contentDB. Of course, you may find that a combination of the two might be more useful - break out the site into seperate site collections and then enale RBS on items like your document center.
Last option is the possibility that you may not need to do anything at all. It's going to depend on how your site is used. While 200GB is the recommended limit for collaborative sites, if the site is used largely for publishing static content
or archiving data or as a record center then your I/O and usage patterns would allow you to still be performant at up to a terabyte of data.

After uninstalling site caches remain?

I've been having probs with DW8 running incredibly slow on
windows xp sp2.
I did a full uninstall, made sure no virus software was
running on it (which I was told might slow down DW8)
Then made sure there was nothing left in the registry using
RegClean, then deleted the Configuration folder that was left in
the Application Data folder....
I then installed it from scratch. Upon launch it then said
"updating site cache" and it new exactly what sites I had saved in,
and where they were on my hard drive and also all the passwords and
remote information.
Now its still as s...l...o...w... as ever and I want to know
how to totally uninstall it so no information is left so I can be
sure I have a brand new install.
How/why/where does it get this cache information from? Where
is that hiding and does anyone know why it is so slow?
Thanks,
Matt

Matt,
DW stores site info in the Registry here:
\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Macromedia\Common\8\Sites
Be sure to export all of your Site definitions before you
delete the
Registry.

DW 8 Crashing on updating the site cache

This is a site that I've been working on, on and off, for a
year or more and suddenly in the past week or so DW has been
hanging whenever I try and load this site. It seems to do it when
updating the site cache. It doesn't crash exactly, but will hang on
the splash screen, and won't advance beyond that point. I've
reinstalled DW, removed all extensions, deleted the Configuration
folder, but it keeps coming back. I've discovered that if I copy
all the files in that folder somewhere else, load the site, and
then copy them all back, it will load; but obviously this isn't a
workable solution. I don't know WHICH file is causing it to hang;
I've tried removing only the file that it seems to hang on, but
then it hangs on a different one (and so on).
Any suggestions on how to resolve this?

See if this helps:
