Uploading CSS to web hosting

Hello all,
I am actually being a bit tricky by posting in these forums, as I made my webpage not with dreamweaver, but with the free product Kompozer. That is not the issue though.
I finished my webpage, and used CSS to define the background image, as well as text font and style.
I published my webpage and it clearly showed the page, the banner, and the CSS being uploaded to the page. Now the thing is, when I look at the page live, none of the CSS styling has come through, the text and the banner are there, but there is no background nor correct fonts.
Any idea how the CSS can get separated from the rest of the pages when publishing, and any idea what I can do about it?
Any help much appreciated.
PS, I posted here because no one is really ever on the Kompozer forums, so I cant get help there, and I thought this may be a general issue unrelated to the software used to create and publish.

As Murray points out, this is not a KompoZer issue. This is a user organization issue.
When you build a website, you want to create a common structure for everything for upload with your files all in one location.
Place your work files wherever you like, but keep them organized by project.
When you start a website, make a new folder (example, "my website") on your computer.
Now, within that folder create another folder called "css" and another called "images."
Place all images into your images folder that will go on your website. If you have large images that need to be re-sized, re-size them in Photoshop or The GIMP or whatever you are using for editing them and place the correctly-sized images in your Images folder within "my website." That way you will always have the original images sized the way you got them, just in case you need to change things because you are revising your website.
Build out the website. If you have Javascript in it, make a "js" folder. If you are creating and using templates, make a "template" folder. Keep the site organized.
When you go to upload stuff, find out (first!) what subdirectory on your server to use as the "root" subdirectory for your website. With many Linux servers using Apache, that is /public_html/ but other servers have their own ways of doing things.
From within your "my website" folder, upload the entire structure, files, folders, everything to your remote host. If your links are correct on your local computer, those links will be correct on the remote host.
KompoZer may allow you to have any of your images anywhere on your computer. Dreamweaver tries to encourage that you have all of your images, files and so on within a subdirectory designated just for that website and keeps track of that within that subdirectory (folder) by creating a cache file to keep track of all of your links. With KompoZer, I do not think it does that, so you have to be very careful and check and make sure that you don't change any file locations once you have them linked.
Organize the way you work and you will find that you will not be missing stuff when you do your website upload via FTP to your server.

  • Uploading JPEG to web hosting site

    I can't upload my JPEG photos onto a hosting site because I believe the files are too large; I shoot all my pictures in maximum resolution. The hosting site limits photo size to 500KB. How do I reduce my large files down to 500KB? Sorry for this elementary question; I'm new to this computer stuff.

    Select the photos in iPhoto and Export them from iPhoto (file menu ==> export) as JPEGs - one of the export options is to set the export size

  • My site doesn't work when I upload to my own web host, but it's fine in Preview or BC. Why?

    I have uploaded my site via FTP to my own web hosting and my site is broken. My menus and slideshows don't work, my styles are all missing... everything is shifted to the left. What has happened and how can I fix it?

    lanistudio, while the symptom of your change may appear to be correct behavior, I believe your fix is incorrect.
    The original code is correct. The way slideshows work is that the original image source is to a very small animated gif that provides the preloader graphic until the actual image is loaded. All the images in a slideshow that are not visible when the page is first loaded are loaded by JavaScript running in the background. That JavaScript copies the "data-src" attribute into the "src" attribute once the image data is available. In this way a page with a slideshow load much more quickly in the browser.
    If images in a slideshow where failing to load for you, I suspect the Adobe Tech's feedback was accurate and one or more of your .js files is missing, in the incorrect location or in a folder with incorrect permissions. If you provide the URL for your site after doing a clean upload from Muse (to get rid of any post export hand editing of the code) we can diagnose the root cause of the problem.
    If you've ever used a method other than Muse's File > Upload to FTP Host... to upload, delete, rename, move or otherwise alter what's on your hosting, then you need to turn on the "Upload: All Files" option within the Upload to FTP Host... feature in order for Muse to be able to upload everything so it has an accurate understanding of what needs to be updated during subsequent uploads with the "Upload: Only Modified Files" option set.
    If you alter what's on your hosting using an FTP program and then upload from Muse with the Upload: Only Modified Files option set you're likely to end up with a mis-matched or incomplete set of files on your server.

  • Do I get charged for any uploading (possibly even from my web host) when people download a podcast that I have created?

    Do I get charged for any uploading (possibly even from my web host) when people download a podcast that I have created?

    Not as far as iTunes is concerned: hosting a podcast there is free. However the media files are kept on your server - your ISP or a hosting service - and there may be a limit to bandwidth. If you podcast turned out to be extremely popular then the number of downloads might exceed the allowable bandwidth from your server in a given period and lead to an extra charge or possibly blocking until the period was over: this is something you would have to check with them.

  • A Web Hosting Diary...guide/?'s/Help!

    I'm moving this thread here, because it wasn't getting any attention.  I had it buried in some obscure tutorial comment section--a niche void of the netherworld.  Anyway, I copied it all over because I was tired of listening to myself.  My hope is to help those, like me, who are total n00bs to websites and web hosting.  Be sure to read thru the post first or you'll make the same mistakes I did!  :-).  It can be discouraging.  Also, I hope to get help from others who have forged ahead, and who can shed some light on questions I have as they develop.  Thanks in advance.
    3/21/2010 - Swallowed the red pill...entering the rabbit hole...Mad-Hatter driving me nuts!
    How do I make the website I created from a tutorial with DW4 (trial version) available to others on the web?  I want to host it myself...on my own computer...the same one I'm using now.
    My setup:  Windows XP Pro, xampp, and DW4.  I have an AT&T DSL modem that acts as a router (i can configure it to forward ports, etc.).  Also, I have a registered host name with dyndns (example:  myhost.dyndns.org).  Moreover, I have an update client from dyndns that supposedly updates my IP address if/when my ISP changes it.
    Correct me if I'm wrong, but as I understand it an end user types in my dyndns host address into their browser's address bar.  Dyndns redirects them to my external IP, which I'm assuming is my router's IP.  Then, my router forwards the request to my pc, which is a different IP, right?  So, if I setup a virtual host on my pc that redirects any request coming from my dyndns host to a specific vhost folder, why would I need a static IP address?  I set one up anyway, because just about every post I read on the subject of hosting your own website said to do so.
    I've installed Xampp and both the Apache and MySQL apps are running.  I've also started the FileZilla app.  I have forwarded the TCP ports on my router (21, 80, 8080, 3306).  I have a registered host name at DynDNS.com, and their Open Port Tool indicates that my external IP is open and accepting connections.  I have completed all three parts of the "Building your first dynamic website..."  This created a "Feedback" website that I am trying to "put" on the web (just to learn how to do it).  I edited the httpd and httpd-vhosts files to setup virtual host containers for my localhost and DynDNS host (using NameVirtualHost = *:80 consistent with my containers, and yes I added the permissions directive to the httpd-vhosts file).  I did this because, from what I gathered on several forum posts, I needed a virtual container to redirect requests coming from my DynDNS host to the proper website.  My "feedback" website functions just fine locally.
    In an attempt to "put" my website on the web where others can see it, I setup a virtual host folder called E:/vhosts/Feedback.  The directoryroot in httpd-vhosts points to this location.  In the DW4 "Manage Sites..." dialogue box for remote info I selected local/network, localhost, and targeted the E:/vhosts/Feedback folder.  This seemed to work as the site was "uploaded" to that folder (I could see them in windows explorer).  However, I still could not visit the site from the web.  Next, I tried several different remote info configurations.  The only one I felt came even close to working was when I ran the FileZilla app and used FTP (to configure the remote info in "Manage Sites...").  With the FileZilla admin window open I could actually see myself logging in, but it could not find the E:/vhosts/Feedback folders.  The error said that the file did not exist or there was a permission problem.  Well, the files do exist (I can see them in windows explorer); and I thought that entering the following directive in my httpd-vhost file would avoid any permissions issues:
    <Directory E:/vhosts>
       Order Deny,Allow
       Allow from all
    </Directory>
    So, I finally broke down and bought custom DNS services from dyndns.com for $30/yr.  This allowed me to register a domain name in addition to the free hosting service I had already signed up for.  I was expecting an email with the FTP info for the remote info dialogue window in DW4, as mentioned in some posts.  I did NOT receive any such an email.  Now, I feel like I just wasted 30 bucks.
    I have spent 2-3 hours a night for that past few days trying to figure out how to "put" my Feedback website on the web either from my own computer or a hosting service.  I knew nothing about websites prior to downloading the DW4 trial version roughly 6 days ago.  I would not have been able to tell you the difference between a static and dynamic site.  I've learned a lot since then thanks to these tutorials and moderator feedback, but only enough to realize how much more is out there.  I've only scratched the surface so to speak.  However, I've been running in circles lately and I just don't understand what's going on.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    I find it simply astounding that these tutorials would go so far as to instruct me on how to download, install, and setup xampp, create a database in myPHPadmin, setup local and test servers in DW4; and yet, somehow neglect to instruct me on how to configure these apps to make the site available from the web.  I mean, what is the point of creating a WEBsite if I can't put it on the WEB?!
    3/22/2010 - Horse bucked me off into the mud...time for a new horse!
    Good news:  I got a refund from DynDNS.  They only offer domain name and host name services--not website hosting!  I had misunderstood them to be a web hosting service.  Also, I think I know what the problem was.  The static IP I set from my router was still "private."  I needed to have set it to a public, external, static IP, right?  Anyway, I've given up on the whole self-hosting thing.  Gonna try GoDaddy.
    3/23/2010 - Remember that story about the frog who could only jump 1/2 the distance to the end of the dock?  I know EXACTLY what that feels like...
    Now, I have some kind of database problem.  I was successful in uploading my feedback website to GoDaddy.  However, when I viewed my page there were some "localhost" SQL database errors that I'm assuming were generated because the database I was referencing in my site is actually located on my machine.  So, I created a similar database on GoDaddy's PHP server, but when I go to update the location of my database in DW4 (double-clicking the db in the databases panel) it times out looking for the server, and crashes DW4 every single time.  A window pops up that says "File Activity - localhost" and it just sits there until I close it.  Then, DW4 crashes (I click the End Now button).
    What do I have to do to get DW4 to use the databases I created on my host's PHP server?
    3/24/2010 - Eureka!  I'm going streaking!  C'mon everyone!
    It works!  I can't believe it actually works!  It's sooooo beautiful when it works!
    It was the Test Server configuration!  The name is what misled me.  I figured the Test Server was for testing purposes only--a local place to check the functionality of my site before uploading it.  But, no!  It actually determines which Application Server is acting on my website.  That's why DW4 kept crashing.  I was attempting to establish a database (MySQL) connection to my Host's Application Server with my Test Server configured for localhost!  I had a hunch this was the case, but I wasn't sure where the Application Server was located--whether on my Host's web server or on their Application (PHP) server.  I was trying to put the SQL connection info in the Test Server configuration box.  Recalling a diagram from a tutorial it dawned on me that they're both in the same place!  Once I set my Test Server to the same location as my web server (remote info)...voila!  The only difference being the pathname:  "/" for the test server, and "/feedback" for the remote info.  I could then edit my database connection without crashing.  I noticed I had to export my database from my local App Server (myPHPadmin), and import it to my Host's App Server (also myPHPadmin) in order for the website to function properly. 
    So, this experience has raised some new questions:
    1.  Why aren't there profiles within the site manager that would allow me to select whether I want to test locally or remotely?  As it is, I have to go in and manually change the test server to my machine's local App Server each time I want to test locally, and then change it back to my Host's App Server when I want to upload my site.  Moreover, I have to edit the database (MySQL) connection to point to a local database stored on my app server to test locally, and change it back to test remotely; which means I have to export the database from my Host's App Server, and import it to my local App Server!
    2.  If I had more than one test server, presuming I diversified my Hosts to have a backup site ready to go in the unlikely event GoDaddy's Scotsdale AZ datacenter got nuked, how would the website I was working on locally in DW4 know which site to use (from my Site Manager...)?  In other words, if I have two test servers in my DW4 Site Manager, how does the website I'm working on know which test server to use?  It seems to me that in order to establish a MySQL connection in the database panel, I need to have the correct Test Server configured.  But, if there's two how does it know which one to use?  The reason I ask is because when I click the [+] button in the database panel it only asks for a SQL server.  There is no option to select a site.  If the SQL database connection depends on the Test Server, how would it know which one of my two test servers is acting on the database?
    2.a.  Why doesn't DW4 call the "Test Server" what it really is--an Application Server?!  Had this distinction been evident in the "Category" column of the DW4 Site Manager, it would have saved me a 6-day trip to a new dimension of pissed off!
    3.  What happens to my website when I try to edit the files located on my remote site?  I noticed when I attempt to load them (by double-clicking the file in my remote file panel) that a window pops up asking me if I really want to open a "dependent" file.  Does this mean my site will not function properly when I'm editing the remote file?  Or, does DW4 download a copy of it?

  • Need details on how to move existing website to Dreamweaver CS6 and to Business Catalyst web hosting

    Hi All,
         I need assistance with transferring an existing website  - imagessays.com  -  (designed with Dreamweaver CS4) to my Creative Cloud CS6 account - and to web hosting by CS6 Business Catalyst.
       …  step-by-step instructions would be most useful.  I've got the Dreamweaver CS6 onDemand book, etc.,  ...  I guess I’m just not enough of a geek to work my way through the steps and to get my site back moving ahead online.
        Beyond that, need advice as to how to repair a couple of non-funcitonal links on the site (check out imagessays.com to see a couple of pics that don't work).  I'm looking forward to uploading more content and to do major upgrade to the site, but am unable to do so ... need technical support re how to do these simple (should be) things.
        Since setting up the website over 5 years ago, I have migrated from Dreamweaver CS3 to CS4 .... and now to CS6 ...  and from a Dell XPS 450 running Windows XP to a Mac Pro desktop running Mac OS X.
    These changes of version / machine / OS  have separated me from the ability to do the one simple thing that I need to do with this straightforward website, that is:  upload new pitchers and writins .
    I look forward to assistance and support for this.
    Thanks,

    Are you sure you are uploading the pages to the correct location?
    Could you post a screen capture of your expanded files window, showing the remote server and local file structures?
    I'm guessing they're not identical and that you may be uploading to a redundant root folder.

  • Browser background uploaded to my mac host but not my real website :( help!

    Hello,
    Thanks in advance for your help. Go easy on me, I'm not too technically savvy. So, a picture is worth a thousand words. I can't for the life of me understand why the browser background doesn't show up on my regular website. the other things that are missing are the little iweb elements. so weird. and lame.
    this is how it appears: http://www.hennalounge.com/Home.html
    this is how it should appear: http://web.mac.com/darcitananda/iWeb/HennaLounge/Home.html

    I can't for the life of me understand why the browser background doesn't show up on my regular website.
    For starters, make sure you have uploaded everything. Your url indicates that you failed to upload the folder called HennaLounge (plus the index.html file that iWeb creates alongside it). If you did that, you may well have forgotten other things as well. Make sure you use a real ftp program like Cyberduck and not some uploader provided by your host. When your site is fully uploaded, your url will look like this:
    http://www.hennalounge.com/HennaLounge/Home.html
    If you don't like the duplication, change your site name inside iWeb to "hl" or whatever and republish and reupload.

  • Connecting Dreamweaver to new web host

    Fist, I have to say that I am very frustrated with Adobe support. I
    have never tried to use them before, and at this point would not again. I spent almost 2 hours on hold
    in the course of 4 calls trying to reach tech support. Finally, the 3rd
    operator told me, after another 10 minutes on hold, that my program is no longer supported.I have
    Dreamweaver MX 2004 and have been very happy with it for the 6 years I have been using it.
    Recently I changed web hosts and I can no longer get my pages to upload to the net. I'm sure it is probably a simple need to change some info in the system, but I'm lost. At first I could not connect at all, so I went in to the "manage site" and corrected my password. Now when I click to connect to remote host, the plug comes together and I appear to be connected. When I click on "Put", the page appears to go through, and the FTP log says the transfer is complete, but the page does no appear on my site. I have spoken to my host and everything appears good on that end. I'm not sure where to go from this point. I did have someone transfer my web site files from my old host to the new one, and the site seems to be functioning fine on the net, but I can't get it to make any changes. I had someone go over my site and optimize it, so there are some changes from the site that I had Dreamweaver on before. Is it possible that I'll have to completely download my site back onto my computer so that I'm working with the current pages from the web?

    Sounds like a Host Directory issue.
    When you connect to your site via FTP, you are probably not in the web folder.
    The Host Directory field in the Remote Server category allows you to set the default folder for FTP.
    When you connect via FTP, do you see any folders?
    If one of them is named 'web' or 'html' or 'www' then that is probably it. You will see your existing site files.
    Let's say it's 'www'. You would put that in the Host Directory field. Now when you connect it will go directly to that folder.
    Once the Local and Remote sides look the same, you are ready to go.
    Hope this helps.

  • Web.xml problem in web hosting site

    Hi i need help in this... its urgent
    currently i just subscribe to a web hosting site and i need to start the private tomcat in the web server..
    The followings are the instructions and i have follow them but i do not know how to create a web.xml file to store in the folder indicated for example a HelloServlet that im testing :
    To setup servlet, you need to configure servlet into the file web.xml which needs to be placed in /var/www/html/WEB-INF directory.
    www root directory or webapps:/var/www/htm
    Classes directory located in: /var/www/html/WEB-INF/Classes/
    There you will need to upload your Java class file.
    Our default url-mapping for servlet is: /servlet/*
