Use Offsite Dev Server As Local Site In DW CS5?

I have been assigned the task of updating files from a 3rd party, offsite server, to our in-house live server. My question is this, is there a way to set the offsite server directory, (of which I have to login to with user name and password), as my local site in Dreamweaver CS5? I would like to do it this way in the hopes that DW's synchronization will help me keep the newest files up to date on the live server.
Currently the process works as follows: A 3rd party updates pages for our site and uploads them to the offsite development server. The updated files are then downloaded to a local directory onsite. Then the local files are uploaded to our live server. I would like to set it up so I can simply synchronize the offsite dev server with our live server through DW. Basically, mirror the two servers in DW.
Any ideas? Can DW do this?
Thanks.

DW could only do that if you can map that offsite server to your computer.
Why not do it this way?
1. Set up a site with your local site as usual and the remote site on the 3rd party server. You would downsynch to grab the changed files.
2. Define a second server for this site to be the remote production server. You would then switch to this remote server, and upsynch.
It's still a few steps but it's not too bad. It's all done within that single site definition.

I'd like to make an existing DW 8 local site the local site for DW cs5 without overwriting

I just upgraded from DW 8 to DW cs5 and had to uninstall the old software to have room for the new (maybe a fatal error?). Of course all my files are still My Documents in my local site folder and I have my website running on the remote site. All is well there. I can open all the files from the workspace and all, but as far as cs5 is concerned, I have no website. I want to set up my new DW to use my existing local folders but it wants to make a new local site. I am wondering if I create a new site in site manager will it overwrite or do I just have to copy everything into this new folder? Can't I drag it somewhere? Seems like it should be simple--people upgrade their software all the time! What am I missing?

Just to clarify, it isn't necessary to copy your site files. HTML is HTML. You can work on your existing site in DW CS(whatever) by simply defining the site and pointing to the hard drive folder in which your site files currently reside.

"do not use proxy server for local (intranet) addresses" IEM setting

Hi, i would like to find out where can i find the following setting in GPO which used be found in IEM.
"do not use proxy server for local (intranet) addresses" Enabled/Disabled
as currently im setting the IE proxy exception list via GPP, i don't see that option.

Hi,
As you notice that when we use GPP Internet Setting item to configure bypass proxy servers, there is no "do not use proxy server for local (intranet) addresses" option in GPP Internet
Setting item. However, as suggested by zanderol24’s reply, we can use bypass proxy server for local addresses option under
Proxy server to achieve the same function.

The server could not communicate with the HUB transport running locally. (by locally I mean same server - localhost)
I appreciate any input as to where/what can be the issue. We have had issues in the past while trying to run our yearly DR testing, but none like this.
Thanks!
Ozz.

Hi Ozz,
From your description, I recommend you follow the steps below for troubleshooting:
1. Confirm that the networks are identically configured between all DAG node members.
2. Use the following cmdlet to start the failed Mailbox server and check the result.
Start-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup -Identity "DAG name" -MailboxServer "failed.mail.server"
For your reference:

First of all thanks for the answer.
Let me give you a better view of our situation.
This was discovered during a staged disaster recovery exercise. All our nodes are VMware VMs.
The (primary site or site A)  FAILED.MAIL.SERVER was shutdown from the VMware console as it would
happen with a power outage or worse. The Witness server was also shutdown in the same manner. We then had the ACTIVE.MAIL.SERVER
(that meaning the only server running) and the Alternate Witness, on site B.
Initially when the 'failure' was caused the DB mounted right away on the ACTIVE.MAIL.SERVER
then after a bit of time we got all the errors regarding Hub Transport such as:
"The Microsoft Exchange Mail Submission service is currently unable to contact any Hub Transport servers
in the local Active Directory site. The servers may be too busy to accept new connections at this time."
Then after a reboot all the errors persisted and the ACTIVE.MAIL.SERVER
albeit having a running Transport Service still could not communicate via MAPI with the DB. It was still trying to use the FAILED.MAIL.SERVER's
Hub Transport.
That is my understanding of the errors and issues.
As for item #2 can you please explain in more detail what that would do if the FAILED.MAIL.SERVER
is down?
Does that change anything on the ACTIVE.MAIL.SERVER?
Thanks for your help!!!
P.S. - One more detail, this is in production so I cannot test during business hours, I tried exactly the
same operation on our test environment and everything came up as expected... o_0

Using Lion Server as a web server for Wordpress sites?

Is anyone doing this? I have a few low traffic Wordpress sites I'd like to move to a Lion server I already have at MacMiniColo to try and reduce my costs.
Obviously I'll have to install MySQL and MySQL Workbench for the databases, which I'm fairly comfortable with, however I'm not sure what the best route for FTP access to the WP directories is. I've looked at Rumpus but it's just a little too pricy for my needs.
Does anyone have any advice?

John, I guess you did install MySQL and got Wordpress running? I use the default location for web sites on Lion server. So my site is in /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/wordpress/. Since the directory is owned by _www I use root to retrieve and put files under this directory. My own user account would not have sufficient rights. It is not safe to use root with ssh with a password, so you will have to make sure you can only login as root with an ssh key. Therefore edit /etc/sshd_config and make sure that a line with 'PermitRootLogin without-password' is present. sshd or your server should be restarted then.
On you local mac you can use the terminal to generate a key. Use 'ssh-keygen'. Here (and on various other web pages) you can find how to do this:
http://coolestguyplanettech.com/secure-ssh-keys-connection-with-remote-passwords -osx-10-6-linux/
On the server you will have to put the authorized_keys file in /var/root/.ssh/
Now you can use cyberduck and let it authenticate with the key you have generated (id_rsa if you use the web page I pointed to). Then you can go to the wordpress directory and upload or edit files.

Using environment variable in local site folder filespec

Configuration: Dreamweaver CC 2014.1; Windows 7
I have quite a few sites defined in Dreamweaver and would like to define the folder locations using environment variables so thst if I decide to reorganize my disk (again) I can just redefine the variable instead of having to modify each of the site definitions. For example, instead of W:\dw\site\, I would like to specify %dw_root%\dw\site\ (where dw_root is defined as "W:"
Attempting to save a configuration with this filespec fails with the error: The local site folder path must be absolute.
I copied the path from the DW configuration dialog box and pasted it into a DOS window as the filespec of a DIR command to confirm the syntax was valid.
Does anyone know if there is a way to make this work?
Thanks.

Very unlikely. DW won't tolerate special characters (%&*~).

Error while Importing from Dev Server using Transport Request.

Hello Everyone,
                           Please help me on the following problem.
I imported my package which consists of 2 reports, one module pool and one copied standard Function Group consisiting of 3 FM's from my DEV server to Quality Server using Tranport Request(Co files and Data files) It was successful.
However due to some reasons , i need to delete everyting from Quality Server.
So i again created a new request and assigned everything again to this new request. But now some objects are imported like Reports but module pool and Function Group incudind FM's are not imported...
Can anyone tell me why?
And What should i do in this case?

Yes when i tried to import the Request and checked the logs, it says Error.

Can I use Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio version 11.0 to write SQL queries for "SQL Server Compact 4.0 Local Database"

Hi, Can I use Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio version 11.0 to write SQL queries for "SQL Server Compact 4.0 Local Database" ?
When I use Connect Object Explorer, the "Connect to Server" dialog box which pops up has only 4 selections in the Server Type Drop Down List. They are Database Engine, Analysis Services, Reporting Services & Integration Services. I have read
somewhere that there should be a compact database option. but I do not see it.
What I would like to do is use free form SQL Queries against the tables in "SQL Server Compact 4.0 Local Database" .
Once I have validated these queries, then I will use them in my Visual Studio 2012 C#, ASP.NET application. I created the Local Database using Visual Studio 2012 for use by my application.
Thank you for your help..

Hello,
With SSMS 2005 we have had the Option to work with SQL CE database files, but not with higher Version of SSMS.
You can use the free SQL CE Toolbax instead; see

Hi,
If you want to restore a reomoved app,you need to use

But we cannot extract them from the ISO.
The behavior is by design.And this is a software protection regime.

How do I place files I used to create a website into Dreamweaver's Local site folder?

I designed a site years ago for a client. Now when I open the site in DW, the images aren't linked because there are no files in the local site folder. It must be easy - I'm just no finding the solution on my own. Thank you

Sounds like someone moved the files out of the local site folder, probably using the OS rather than DW's Files window.
DW just manages files on your computer, it doesn't store your files in the program. So you will have a folder somewhere on your machine with the same name that appears when you hover over the root folder at the top of your Files window in DW. You can also find the folder name under Site > Manage Sites > click the site you are working with > Site > Local Site Folder.
You need to find that folder on your desktop, then find the images that are supposed to be in it, and move the images back.

We are using SharePoint 2010 server with service pack 1 want to remove/delete old user profiles & site from server

Hi Team,
We are using SharePoint 2010 server with service pack 1, we want to remove/delete old user profiles, access & site from server
is there any script or feature available using that we can only remove dactivated/deleted/old user profiles, access & site.
Thanks

Take a look at Metalogix ControlPoint, which will compare user accounts on SharePoint to Active Directory and remove accounts that no longer exist in AD (or are disabled).

Using OS X Server As Internal Testing Web Server

Hi
First off, I'll admit it: I'm not a server bod by any stretch of the imagination. I'm a web designer/developer and we've just got a copy of OS X Server and one of the things we'd like to move away from is the developers in our company developing sites locally (using MAMP Pro) and instead, to have them develop onto OS X Server, and then deploy from that to our live web server once the site is ready to go live.
So, I've tried setting up a few sites, and I'll be honest, I'm 100% stumped. I'm assuming that what we want can be easily handled by OS X Server; effectively, it should serve multiple virtual hosts using domain names such as test.dev etc as well as run PHP and MySQL.
Are there any "dummies" guides out there? I assume we'll need to get to grips with the DNS and Web aspects of the Server Admin; will we also need to set up the developer Macs to get look at OS X Server for DNS too?
So many questions, I know!! Any help greatly appreciated.
Ta
Phil

From what I can see, you got the answer. Use /etc/hosts or DNS.
That's basically how this web stuff and virtual hosting works, after all.
The web client acquires the IP address of the web server associated with the specified host name, and it is the IP address that is used for the IP connection to the web server, and it is the host name that's passed over the http connection (as data) that's used to select a virtual host.
AFAIK, there's no tool for this, and given you've already Googled around for it, I won't spend any time with that.
I haven't looked at the serveradmin command line to see if adding a virtual host is feasible there from the shell, but the /etc/hosts stuff is trivial.
Get somebody in that knows a little bash, or [go learn it yourself|http://tldp.org/HOWTO/pdf/Bash-Prog-Intro-HOWTO.pdf]. There are [Apple-specific shell and command features|http://images.apple.com/server/macosx/docs/IntroCommand_Line_Adminv10.6.pdf] available, too. This stuff could easily be part of a deployment script or makefile script and tied to your version-control system, too.
Or sequence and write up and document the manual steps involved.
And I'd probably punt on the whole wide-open domain-naming stuff if you're not working with the /etc/hosts approach as (with DNS) that's more work than its worth. In either case, I'd likely just use hostnames within an existing domain. Makes mistakes easier to spot when you go into production, too, as you can search for references to your domain name(s) via grep or such, and swap those for relative paths. If you unintentionally embed the customer's domain name(s), that's typically (much) harder to search for.

Remote and Local Site Sync Problems

I have a customer who is using Dreamweaver CS4 on Mac OS X. Dreamweaver is setup to have a local site as our development server(win 2k3) and the remote site as our live web server(win 2k3). The folder structure on both the development and live web server is the same. When you view the path in the manage site window of dreamweaver it shows both remote and local site listed as /Volumes/www/Data. When dreamweaver connects to both of these to sync the files nothing happens since it sees them as the same place.
I have looked in the /Volumes folder on the customers computer and two listings appear for the servers www and www-1. This is not what dreamweaver shows and if you repoint the link to the www-1 folder it just changes back to www.
I have tried to create alias' and symbolic links to distinguish one folder from the other however nothing I seem to change has any effect.
If you use finder on the machine it can distinguish between the two folders I just need to figure out how to make dreamweaver do the same.
Any assistance on this would be greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately no I do not have a solution. I was not able to find out at the time and the problem went away with the migration to a content management system for our web server. Also the Develpment team changed hands and the new people all use windows machines.
Good Luck trying to find a solution.

Advise on using Branch office server as backup

Hello and thanks for assistance,
The site in question has four physical servers and two virtual servers. They have the following major functions. Server A is a DC/DNS server as well as hosting DFS files. Server B holds exchange server 2012A and the replica partner for DFS, Server C
has two virtual servers installed. First one is exchange 2012B and second one is the antivirus server. Server D is a DC and a witness server. It also holds WSUS. Backup is taking as long as 12 hours. I had an idea of moving Server C and D offsite and configuring
them as branch office servers using VPN. Then all data including mail will be offsite and eliminate the need for backups. All servers of course have RAID1 so my concern really is not hardware related but disaster recovery in the event of fire, flood, ect.
I know this idea may be full of holes but that is why I am posting this for your opinions. There are about 50 workstations in the network. The client is very dependent on the network.
Thanks
Ronald C. Pope

Hi Ronald,
Of course you can create offsite Exchange server and DC. The connection performance may be an issue as you must use site-to-site VPN incase you need a failover.
Both topics are discussed a lot in Exchange and DC forum:

Hi,

[05/07/2013 01:20:11.0794] [0] [ERROR] Setup encountered a problem while validating the state of Active Directory: Could not find information about the local site. This can be caused by incorrect configuration of subnets or sites or by replication latency.

[05/07/2013 01:20:11.0794] [0] [ERROR] Could not find information about the local site. This can be caused by incorrect configuration of subnets or sites or by replication latency.
I'd suggest you check NIC settings and AD configuration.
Hope it is helpful.
