Test server and remote server

The sync button syncs files from the local view to the remote server. How
do you sync files from the local view to the test server?
Best,
Christopher

When you created your site in Dreamweaver, you gave it a name and defined a local site folder, right? You shouldn't have to do that twice to add a remote server.
In Site Setup > Servers, you will have to define a new server however if you want to keep your testing server. But this should not cause any conflicts, because they are both pointing to the same local folder in XAMPP, right?
If I know I'm going to need a testing server, I make sure that my site folder is in my XAMPP/htdocs/ folder. That way I don't have to bother with having to keep track of two versions of the same site. Then when it's time to upload it to the remote server, I'm just adding a new server, and checking the "Remote" box.
One site, two servers ( Local/Network & FTP), no conflicts.

Remote and Testing Server Site Definitions

I am confused about what information I should put in my
remote site definition info and testing server FTC Host directory
text boxes. My host placed 3 directories: database, log, and www on
my server and Dreamweaver placed two directories, Connections and
_mmServerScripts in the same directory as the above 3. I have
placed all of my site files, including my home page and folders in
the www directory and my Access database in the database directory.
Dreamweaver placed the connection info in the Connections folder an
d _mmServerScripts in the same directory.
In order to construct my local site to match the remote site,
I created a www folder on my local site and placed all of my HTML
files and supporting folders in it.
From various Adobe Tech Notes I have read, I was led to
believe my FTP host directory
Should be www/. However, when I do this and create a new web
page on my local site and upload it to my remote site, Dreamweaver
creates a new www directory inside of the one my host created on
the remote site and uploads the file to it instead of placing it in
the www directory my host created. Also, when I use F12 to test my
page in my browser I get a 404 page not found because Dreamweaver
placed a www in the page URL that shouldn’t be there and
after I remove it I’m able to see my page in my browser. My
URL prefix on my testing server site definition is:
http://I.P.number.html.
What am I not doing right?
Should I use www/ as my FTP host directory or leave it blank?
Also, what should my URL prefix be?
Thanks for your help.

What you need to do is set up so that in the remote server
you point to the
www level on the server, and don't replicate this locally.

Remote and Testing Server FTP Problems

I have a Dreamweaver site defined. I have an 2 domains and 2
FTP accounts. I am using one for my remote server and one for my
testing server. When I go to preview, it uploads the file to the
remote server instead of the testing server. Then it goes and tries
to view the file on the testing server and there is a file not
found error. If I try the same thing but use 2 network drives or 1
network drive and 1 FTP account (remote or testing), everything
works as expected. Any ideas why this happens?

Sounds like you are properly configured. I don't have a good
idea why this
is not working....

Remote and testing server don't see root relative links the same

My site works fine on my testing server (Apache, MYSQL,
PHP). I use root relative links in a library
file (include file) so that it will work with all pages. For the testing server these links look like this:
/my_sites_root_folder/aaa/bbb/ccc etc.
If I use these same links on the remote server they won't work. To get hem to work I have to change all these links to the form
/aaa/bbb/ccc etc.
When dreamweaver uploads files to the remote server, the site name folder (my_sites_root_folder) doesn't go along for the ride--just the files in it. So on the remote all the site files are stored in htdocs. On my testing server, the files are stored in htdocs/my_site_root_folder.
I think it must have something to do with the way I'm setting up the remote and testing servers, but I'm read a hundred pages of instructions without being able to figure it out. I think I'm just seeing something wrong, but I've already spent days on this. Can someone please point me in the right direction?
I'm using DWCS5. Internet explorer 8, Windows 7.

Thank you for your prompt response. I'm afraid I'm still totally puzzled here. It sounds like you're very knowledeable about your comments, but I would like to know more. I accept that using the local site root in links would be bad, but I'm not clear WHY. Structuring the links as I have doesn't cause any links to break. I've structured them this way because it's the only way I can find that everything works. But I still do not understand WHY I have to do it. Using different libary include files doesn't seem like a good way to go, though
You suggest that if I use any root relative links at all, I need to use vitual hosts. I'm not finding any good coverage of what these are, and especially why they are necessary. If this is the case, does that imply that templates (which use root relative links) also will not work on the test server (at least without vitual hosts)? The conclusion I'm coming up with, given your remarks, is "Dreamweaver doesn't work with root relevant links when you're trying to test a site with a test server." Is this right?

Remote and testing server set up

I want to upload to the server some php pages containing a registration form, log in, and membership directory. I am able to get everything working ON MY COMPUTER (not shouting - just for emphasis) using wamp server. I am completely confused about how to get it on the server. I have tried creating a test database at the server but I am confused about how to connect. Do I need to set up both a remote and a testing server in the site setup on DW (CS5.5)? I think the problem is with the database setup form, that is, databases - + - mySLQ connection. What do I put in the form fields?
So far, I have tried, among other things,
Connection name: myusername_testform
mySLQ connection: localhost
Username: the one I set up at the server
Password: the one I set up at the server
Database: myusername_testform
and I get the following error message when I test it:
HTTP error code file not found etc.
possible reasons:
1. There is no testing server running on the server machine.
2. The testing server specified to this site does not map to the the http://ftp.mysite.com/_mmserverscripts/MMHTTPDB.php URL. Verify that the URL prefix maps to the root of the site.
I have contacted the server and have tried to understand their answers but have had no success in getting this done.
Any help would be much appreciated. I am really new to php and forms and databases, so please keep it as simple as possible. Thanks

Thanks very much for responding. Sorry - I'm not quite sure what you mean. I initially did all the set up steps (set up local server, create database in wamp phpMyAdmin, create a members directory, create a registration page, create a log in form) and I got all of that to work on my computer. Now I want to upload the forms and database to the server. Rather than use the database that I had originally set up on my computer, I set up a new test one with with one table and only a few categories using the phpMyAdmin on the control panel for the site. Where is that database? Is it at the server? What I'm confused about is this: How do I connect to the database at the server? Do I need to set up the site the same way as I did when it was only on my computer, i.e., set up a remote server AND a testing server? Or do I just need to set up the remote server? In either case, how do I add the database to the site using mySQL connection? I think the problem is with what I type into the form field "my SQL connection" but I really don't know. I'm so confused lol

Question about having a test server and a remote server

Hi,
using DW CS6
I have my site setup on a test server XAMPP. Now I want to publish to a remote server. When I select remote server it wants me to define a site. This means having my site listed twice on the site definition box. I can see having the site twice at some point is going to cause me some confusion. Is it necessary to define the site twice? Is there a way to have remote and test on the same site definition go to two different servers?
Reason I'm asking is because the test server is new to me. I use to have the site set up in a folder on my computer and the site definition was the remote server so hopping between the two was fairly straight forward. I'm just wondering if that is possible now I have the site on XAMPP.
Thanks

When you created your site in Dreamweaver, you gave it a name and defined a local site folder, right? You shouldn't have to do that twice to add a remote server.
In Site Setup > Servers, you will have to define a new server however if you want to keep your testing server. But this should not cause any conflicts, because they are both pointing to the same local folder in XAMPP, right?
If I know I'm going to need a testing server, I make sure that my site folder is in my XAMPP/htdocs/ folder. That way I don't have to bother with having to keep track of two versions of the same site. Then when it's time to upload it to the remote server, I'm just adding a new server, and checking the "Remote" box.
One site, two servers ( Local/Network & FTP), no conflicts.

Viewing Layouts on Remote/Testing Server

This is a beginner question.
I'm trying to view Layouts and/or Content Holders on the Remote/Testing Server out of Dreamweaver so I can edit them independently, but I just get 404 messages.
When I create a new page in BC, I am prompted for a Page Title which subsequently creates a Page URL and File name. The Page URL by default has no extension. The File Name has an extension.
If I view that new page on the Remote Server I get a 404 message. If I edit the Page URL to include the File Name extension, I have no problem on the Remote Server.
Now for example: In File Manager I have the following directory structures:
http://www.MySite.com/_System/ContentHolders/layout.html
http://www.MySite.com/Layouts/SystemMessages/SecureZoneAccessDenied-CA.html
Why is it that I can't view these pages on the Remote Server?
Is BC creating a default URL for these Layout pages that isn't the same as the file name it gives them? or no URL at all?
Thanks,
Cam

Hey there. Those are not pages. They are system generated layouts and for content holders only render when the module issued for that content holderin a pager template.
Ile extensionsyouseefor these are needed to work via FTP and understnd HTML formatting etc.
Zone access denied is a system message and will render when you create a login and enter a incorrect password.
Actual pages do not need agile extension.
Loin into the admins floor around. Look and pages, system layouts and templates, apply templates to pages. get a feel of things there as well to help get abetted understanding.

Local Testing server and htdocs

So I have set up apache/php with virtual servers and I'm
using DW8.
I may have terminology errors below. Correct me where I'm
wrong please.
Example site directory C:/apache/htdocs/site.com/
The web directory is: C:/apache/htdocs/site.com/htdocs
however there are other important files hiden below this
rebroot in "site.com/application" for example
My work diretory is C:/somewhere else/site.com. While
developing, I just set the testing server as my webserver and
posted everything to preview, but know I want to include the
production server, and try to use my local testing setup correctly.
I use DW to ftp and edit the site files, including those
below the webroot, so is set my directories to allow access to
those files. My annoyance is that when I preview my site it tries
to pull up the homepage as www.site.dev/htdocs/index.php
(I use dev to distinguish the local testing server)
Can I resolve this problem, or can someone explain how to
effecttively manage your workdirectory, testingserver and
production server from one DW site? At the moment I'm using two DW
sites to manage for now.

Thank you for your answers.

First, this is very possible depending on your theme. Some of the dyanmic effects in themes use javascript files from the JQuery library as well as other javascript libraries. Because of this it may not be possible to edit all files.
How do you think I could check this is true ? I think I need all the files if I wish to edit the theme. Would copying all the remote files locally help clearing this in any way ?

I don't know how to check this. When inspecting the page with Live Code, I don't know which html file Dw is showing me on the left. No filename has that grey background like it's pushed... Plus, I don't understand why the path would have changed, since I didn't mess with the code (yet) ?

Ok now I don't understand. When I go to http://localhost/mysite/wp-admin, it shows me the WP logo,
No Upgrade Required
Your WordPress database is already up-to-date!
And a big "continue" button, all of which on the original site (the url is http://www.mysite.com/wp-admin/upgrade.php?_wp_http_referer=%2Fwp-admin%2F). Pressing the button gets me to http://www.mysite.com/.
Is that because I imported the database from the live site ? I don't know what I did to get that, I used to get to the local WP installation. Could that be a bad database setup ?
Any idea ?
Again, thank you a lot for helping me out here !

Local, Testing server, Remote server uploading

I have my web files in a local directory, say c:
webfiles\myweb. I also have a local testing server at
c:\Apache\htdocs\myweb, and finally a production site at
www.myweb.com. The problem is that when I edit a file in my local
directory it updated the testing server and not the production
remote - which is what I expect. My problem is that I don't know
how to update the production server as there does not seem to be
any menu choice for this. I am sure I am doing something stupid,
but I can't figure out whats wrong. Basically I don't quite get how
the relationship between the 3 file locations interact with each
other. Any help would be sincerely appreciated as its driving me
crazy.

Expand the Files panel. On the toolbar, there are three icons
in a row -
Remote | Testing | Site Map. Select the Remote icon, and you
will now be
connecting with the Remote site for PUT/GET. The testing
server will now
only be used for Previews or Live Data displays.

Exchange Server 2013 and Remote Access VPN on a single server running Windows Server 2012?

Just by way of background, I have been installing and administering network servers, e-mail systems, VPN servers, and the like for many years. However, my involvement with Exchange and Windows Server has been mostly on the forensics and data recovery
level, or as a (sophisticated) user. I have never tried to deploy either from scratch before. My deployment experiences have been mostly with Linux in recent years, and with small private or personal "servers" running such cutting edge
software as Windows XP back when it was new. And even NetWare once.
When a client asked me if I could set up a server for his business, running Exchange Server (since they really want Outlook with all of its bells and whistles to work, particularly calendars) and providing VPN access for a shared file store, I figured it
could not be too difficult given that its a small business, with only a few users, and nothing sophisticated in the way of requirements. For reasons that don't bear explaining here, he was not willing to use a vendor hosting Exchange services or cloud
storage. There is no internal network behind the server; it is intended to be a stand-alone server, hanging off a static IP address on the Internet, providing the entirely mobile work-force of about 10 people with Exchange-hosted e-mail for their computers
and phones, a secure file store, and not much else. If Exchange didn't need it, I would not need to install Active Directory, for example. We have no direct need for its services.
So I did the research and it appears, more by implication than outright assertion, that I should be able to run Windows Server 2012 with Exchange Server 2013 on a server that also hosts Remote Access (VPN only) and does nothing else. And it appears
I ought to be able to do it without virtualizing any of it. However, I have spent the last three or four days fighting one mysterious issue after another. I had Remote Access VPN working and fairly stable very quickly (although it takes a very
long time to become available after the server boots), and it has mostly remained reliable throughout although at times while installing Exchange it seems to have dropped out on me. But I've always been able to get it back after scrounging through the
logs to find out what is bothering it. I have occasionally, for a few minutes at a time, had Exchange Server willing to do everything it should do (although not always everything at the same time). At one point I even received a number of e-mails
on my BlackBerry that had been sent to my test account on the Exchange Server, and was able to send an e-mail from my BlackBerry to an outside account.
But then Exchange Server just stopped. There are messages stuck in the queues, among other issues, but the Exchange Administration Center refuses now to display anything (after I enter my Administrator password, I just get a blank screen, whether on
the server or remotely).
So, I am trying to avoid bothering all of you any more than I have to, but let me just begin with the basic question posed in the title: Can I run Exchange Server (and therefore Active Directory and all of its components) and Remote Access (VPN only) on
a single Windows Server 2012 server? And if so, do I have to run virtual machines (which will require adding more memory to the server, since I did not plan for it when I purchased it)? If it can be done, can anyone provide any pointers on what
the pitfalls are that may be causing my problems? I am happy to provide whatever additional information anyone might like to help figure it out.
Thanks!

An old thread but I ran into this issue and thought I share my solution since I ran into the same issue. Configuring VPN removes the HTTPS 443 binding on the Default Site in IIS for some strange reason; just go and editing the bindings, add HTTPS and things
should be back to normal.

[Forum FAQ] How to install and configure Windows Server Essentials Experience role on Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard via PowerShell locally and remotely

As we all know,
the Windows Server Essentials Experience role is available in Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard and Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter. We can add the Windows Server
Essentials Experience role in Server Manager or via Windows PowerShell.
In this article, we introduce the steps to install and configure Windows
Server Essentials Experience role on Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard via PowerShell locally and remotely. For better analyze, we divide this article into two parts.
Before installing the Windows Server Essentials Experience Role, please use
Get-WindowsFeature
PowerShell cmdlet to ensure the Windows Server Essentials Experience (ServerEssentialsRole) is available. (Figure 1)
Figure 1.
Part 1: Install Windows Server Essentials Experience role locally
Add Windows Server Essentials Experience role
Run Windows PowerShell as administrator, then type
Add-WindowsFeature ServerEssentialsRole cmdlet to install Windows Server Essentials Experience role. (Figure 2)
Figure 2.
Note: It is necessary to configure Windows Server Essentials Experience (Post-deployment Configuration). Otherwise, you will encounter following issue when opening Dashboard.
(Figure 3)
Figure 3.
2. Configure Windows Server Essentials Experience role
(1) In an existing domain environment
Firstly, please join the Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard computer to the existing domain through the path:
Control Panel\System\Change Settings\”Change…”\Member of. (Figure 4)
Figure 4.
After that, please install Windows Server Essentials Experience role as original description. After installation completed, please use the following command to configure Windows
Server Essentials:
Start-WssConfigurationService –Credential <Your Credential>
Note: The type of
Your Credential should be as: Domain-Name\Domain-User-Account.
You must be a member of the Enterprise Admin group and Domain Admin group in Active Directory when using the command above to configure Windows Server Essentials. (Figure 5)
Figure 5.
Next, you can type the password for the domain account. (Figure 6)
Figure 6.
After setting the credential, please type “Y” to continue to configure Windows Server Essentials. (Figure 7)
Figure 7.
By the way, you can use
Get-WssConfigurationStatus
PowerShell cmdlet to
get the status of the configuration of Windows Server Essentials. Specify the
ShowProgress parameter to view a progress indicator. (Figure 8)
Figure 8.
(2) In a non-domain environment
Open PowerShell (Run as Administrator) on the Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard and type following PowerShell cmdlets: (Figure 9)
Start-WssConfigurationService -CompanyName "xxx" -DNSName "xxx" -NetBiosName "xxx" -ComputerName "xxx” –NewAdminCredential $cred
Figure 9.
After you type the commands above and click Enter, you can create a new administrator credential. (Figure 10)
After creating the new administrator credential, please type “Y” to continue to configure Windows Server Essentials. (Figure 11)
After a reboot, all the configurations will be completed and you can open the Windows Server Essentials Dashboard without any errors. (Figure 12)
Figure 12.
Please click to vote if the post helps you. This can be beneficial to other community members reading the thread.

Part 2: Install and configure Windows Server Essentials Experience role remotely
In an existing domain environment
In an existing domain environment, please use following command to provide credential and then add Server Essentials Role: (Figure 13)
Add-WindowsFeature -Name ServerEssentialsRole
-ComputerName xxx -Credential DomainName\DomainAccount
Figure 13.
After you enter the credential, it will start install Windows Server Essentials role on your computer. (Figure 14)
Figure 14.
After the installation completes, it will return the result as below:
Figure 15.
Next, please use the
Enter-PSSession
cmdlet and provide the correct credential to start an interactive session with a remote computer. You can use the commands below:
Enter-PSSession –ComputerName
xxx –Credential DomainName\DomainAccount (Figure 16)
Figure 16.
Then, please configure Server Essentials Role via
Add-WssConfigurationService cmdlet and it also needs to provide correct credential. (Figure 17)
Figure 17.
After your credential is accepted, it will update and prepare your server. (Figure 18)
Figure 18.
After that, please type “Y” to continue to configure Windows Server Essentials. (Figure 19)
Figure 19.
2. In a non-domain environment
In my test environment, I set up two computers running Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard and use Server1 as a target computer. The IP addresses for the two computers are as
below:
Sevrer1: 192.168.1.54
Server2: 192.168.1.53
Run
Enable-PSRemoting –Force on Server1. (Figure 20)
Figure 20.
Since there is no existing domain, it is necessary to add the target computer (Server1) to a TrustedHosts list (maintained by WinRM) on Server 2. We can use following command
to
add the TrustedHosts entry:
Set-Item WSMan:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts IP-Address
(Figure 21)
Figure 21.
Next, we can use
Enter-PSSession
cmdlet and provide the correct credential to start an interactive session with the remote computer. (Figure 22)
Figure 22.
After that, you can install Windows Server Essentials Experience Role remotely via Add-WindowsFeature ServerEssentialsRole cmdlet. (Figure 23)
Figure 23.
From figure 24, we can see that the installation is completed.
Figure 24.
Then you can use
Start-WssConfigurationService cmdlet to configure Essentials Role and follow the steps in the first part (configure Windows Server Essentials Experience in a non-domain environment) as the steps would be the same.
The figure below shows the status of Windows Server Essentials.
Figure
25.
Finally, we have successfully configured Windows Server Essentials on Server1. (Figure 26)
Figure 26.

[Locked] Switching from testing server to remote server

I set up php pages on a testing server successfully. I exported the database from the testing server to the remote server no problem. But I don't understand how to switch the pages from the testing server to my remote server and make the connection to the database there. I read the manual about switching the connections, but I'm not having any luck. Here's what's not clear:
Am I supposed to move the page to my local root folder before putting it to the remote server? When I do this, the Databases tab says there is no connection, though the page still starts with this code: <?php require_once('file:///C|/XAMPP/htdocs/TRS/Connections/trs_db.php'); ?> When I try to make a new connection, I get an error message that references that code.
Do I also move the server scripts and connections folders from the remote server to the local root folder then put them to the server?
The testing server tutorial stops short of explaining this switch, and the manual doesn't seem to address the testing server at all.
Thanks.

Sorry! My question is the following: Has anyone switched from saving calendar events to their e-mail server to icloud with success? I do not want to make the switch if I will lose events or events will not appear as they do now, or if I will lose everything in the notes that I write for events.

Configuring remote/testing server

Hello Adobe users!
I am currently creating an e-commerce website (I'll be
creating .asp pages) for my year-end project, and I want to
configure my Dreamweaver CS3 in order to have a remote/testing
server folder (so that I can preview the pages). I'm using my home
PC to create this website, and I'm currently using Windows Vista
Business (32-bit).
Do you guys have any idea how to configure my home PC (either
through installation of third-party softwares, or through
configuration of my network) so that my remote/testing server
folder works? I'll also need help on the URL prefix configuration.
Please try to keep your instructions simple, because I'm not
exactly good with complex terms.

First, see if Internet Information Server is installed on
your computer (do
you have an Inetpub directory in the top level of your C
drive?). It is not
installed by default on XP and I'm pretty sure it's probably
not with Vista
either. If it's not, you'll install it by going to Start/Set
Program Access
and Defaults/Add/Remove Windows Components with your Vista CD
in the drive.
In the ensuing menu, select Internet Information Server and
it will install
for you. Open your browser and type in
http://localhost to see if the
default IIS page comes up .. if it does, the server is
working. If not, in
your Control Panel, go to Administrative Tools/Services and
see if World
Wide Web Publishing is running .. you may need to start the
server.
ASP should be configured by default or at least it was in XP.
Once done,
you have a testing server on the computer which you access at
http://localhost/nameofsite
and you put your files for the given site in the
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\nameofsite folder. You will probably need
to use Windows
Explorer to give the proper permissions to your site by
clicking on the site
folder in Explorer, right clicking Properties, clicking
Security and giving
the IUSR_ComputerName (Internet Guest User) permissions to
read, write and
execute in order to get the functionality to work.
Once all that is done, you use the Testing Server tab of the
Site Definition
to set the path to your files on the testing server, specify
ASP as the
server model and use
http://localhost/nameofsite/
as the testing URL.

Configuring local and remote server mysql

So I am loosing my mind a bit. I have a local testing server and a remote server. My local MAMP database works fantastic with my website. I have a php script under a folder 'connections' labeled "localhost.php" that is used to as the connection to my MYSQL database. I uploaded my entire site to a remote server, configured the remote database (000webhost.com) and for simplicity, just changed the configuration in the original 'localhost.php' to match the remote server database connection. However, no matter how many times I try, I can't get it to connect! When I go online to 000webhost.com and access the database, it is in fact functioning. So the error is definitely in the connection.
It seems that even though I specify the url for the host as mysql7.000webhost.com, I get an error indicating it cannot connect to the url. The url has the address of my local server, followed by the remote server details. I can't seem to change this and it is driving me nuts. FTP works fine, just the database. Any pointers?
As a summary, here are the steps I made:
clicked on "databases" window
double clicked on my database name "local host"
Changed the username, host, database, and password to EXACTLY what I was provided
Clicked test and I receive "unidentified error occurred"
http error 404 pops up with a url indicating it is attempting to route through the my local url first (localhost:8889)

I believe it is specific to DW. The odd thing is, I have been able to get it to work before. It just randomly started failing
Here is the error I get when I attempt to connect via DW. As you can see, it looks like it is first trying to go through my local testing server (localhost:8888). I don't want this but for the life of me can't figure out how to get it to route directly to the URL.
What I enter to create the database connnection:
The credentials provided (no password for obvious reasons)

Routing and remote access logging to SQL server

Hi!
I am in the process of trying to set up SQL logging from routing and remote access on a windows server 2003 to another windows server 2003 which is running microsoft SQL server 2005.
What i did was i created a database named RRAS in the sql server and in routing and remote access i went under remote access logging and configured it, when i press "test connection" it says its successful. and when i check the local logfile i successfully
configured i can see my connection attempts towards the RRAS. but in the sql database there's nothing, no tables or anything.
I am sure i have the right permissions going on since i have only been using one account for everything so far(created the rras and the sql database), the SQL server is operational(it has a myriad of other databases that are used on a dailybasis).
So i am wondering what component is missing? do i need to create the tables manually, is there a guide that tells me how to do that?

Hi Plindgren,
Thanks for posting here.
May in know which fields we’ve created for this table ?
Please take look the link below and recheck the database settings:
