Web Housing

Hey Guys,
Here's my situation: I'm fairly new to web design. I know Dreamweaver, HTML and CSS pretty well, but my back-end development knowledge is presently lacking. I'm beginning to do web design commercially, and am getting to the point where I need to adopt new technologies.
Here are some of the services I would like to provide in the future: 1. Ability for client to update site directly, 2. E-comerce integrated seamlessly into website and 3. More interactive javascript-driven navigation. How do you do it? Any sites I should check out?
For #1, would a CMS make the most sense or can it be done rather simply using another method, or perhaps PHP? What exactly is a CMS? Is it simply for designing and updating websites online, or is there more to it? How is a CMS site hosted? Can one be used in conjunction with Dreamweaver?
The hosting company I'm leaning tward is InMotion Hosting. Would a company like Business Catalyst, with the goals above taken into consideration, make more sense? Can more than one site be hosted on BC using one account, like Inmotion?
Thanks for your time!

I've not used Business Catalyst.  So far, no client who would benefit from this service.
I have a dedicated web server and a I maintain sites hosted on several other commercial servers. I won't pitch you on hosting.  I will only say that GoDaddy is not on my favorites list and if you're serious about security, you must pay for hosting.  Free or almost free doesn't cut it.  Reliable web hosts have good uptime stats, 24/7 tech support and perform regular upgrades to software and security patches.
For CSS & Javascript menus, look at Spry or jQuery.
CMS = Content Management System.  Using WordPress as an example, you install software on the server. Appearance is controlled through Themes, free or commercial products.  Optional widgets and plug-ins add functionality to the site.   See Anatomy of a WordPress Theme
You might use DW to customize the look of your WordPress Theme. But once the site is deployed, content is stored in MySql databases and the site managed through the WP Admin Panel.

  • My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data.

    My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data. I'm not sure what has happened. It was working fine a few hours ago. I have tried resetting it, ive restarted my browser etc. I tried to erase all data from my Ipad but I can't do that because it needs to sign into my Apple ID and use the Internet!

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

  • Setting up a Multi-developer web authoring environment in a Mac house

    Hello,
    I have a team of 4 developers on Macs.  I am having difficulty setting up our environment so we can all work from the same code base.
    We have yet to enact version control, and use file check in and check out to make sure we don't overwrite each other.  My question is this:
    I have my machine configured as the web server (Apache/PHP).  My though was that I would share my site folder and configure the other
    machines in my group to use that folder as the "local" development folder.  I am having some connectivity and permissions issues that
    are making this not work so well.
    Is there a best-practice for this sort of thing?  If so, can anyone point me in the right direction?  I really need to get this solved before
    it blows up exponentially.
    Many thanks!
    Ike

    qwertyuiop,
    Here are some instructions that work well for Miroslav Philharmonik Plugin which is multi-timbral. It may work for your problem.
    In the Environment on the "Audio" layer:
    1) create an Audio Instrument and set the MIDI input to "All". Insert your plugin instrument.
    2) also in the "Audio" layer, create a Channel Splitter. ( New=>Channel Splitter) Name the Channel Splitter "strings" or whatever instrument you want.
    3) Cable Channel 1 of the "strings" Splitter (second point from top on left of Splitter) to the Audio Instrument containing the Philhamonik
    4) go to the Arrange window. Assign an Arrange track's output to the Channel Splitter you just named "strings". To do this, Click and hold the name of the Arrange track and select "strings" which should be under Audio.
    Now the MIDI notes recorded on MIDI Channel 1 will be sent from the Arrange track to the Philharmonk via the "strings" channel splitter
    5) Now, back in the Audio layer of the Environment, create a new Channel Splitter named "flute".
    6) Cable the "flute" splitter's MIDI Channel 2 output (third point from the top) to the input of Audio Instrument hosting your single instance of the Philharmonik. You now have two splitters attached to the same Audio Instrument.
    7) go to the arrange and assign the output of a second Arrange track to "flute". This is done by clicking and holding the name on the Arrange track and selecting "flute" under Audio.
    8) From your MIDI controller, send out on MIDI Channel 2 and record notes to this "flute" track.
    These notes should playback the Philharmonic's MIDI channel 2.
    There may be other, and better, ways to accomplish this, but I think this will work.

  • Photosmart Prem-Web C309n-s - How do I reattach parts in tray housing?

    In trying to fix a printer problem, I removed the main paper tray.  When I tried to reseat it, a plastic guide (~2" long) and a related metal torsion clip/spring (~2" long) became unattached from the opening into which the main paper tray is inserted.  How do I reinstall these parts (can't find a diagram of how they fit together in side of the tray housing)?

    I need help too!....This part just came off. How important is this part in relation to the pick up rollers? I am having a problem with these rollers not picking up and message code 0x61011beb is on display.
    Help, someone.....please.

  • .gif preview slow in Save for Web

    I am having an issue in Save for Web where the .gif animation preview works very slow and choppy. I am an advertising designer and many times I need to work on animated .gif banners. I am working with Photoshop CS6. When I play the animation in the frame timeline the animation speed works as intended, a little choppy but the timing isn't too bad. However when I go into the Save for Web screen and play the animation it always appears a lot slower and looks choppy. Anything se to 0.0 or No Delay runs as if its set to .1 seconds. Now if I export the file and open it in Chrome the animation speed seems to go back to normal. This wasn't always the case, I tested this 2 or 3 months ago and the animation speed in the export was also slow and choppy but it must have been fixed in one of the updates since then.
    My issue is I don't want to have to preview everything in Chrome after I export it, and then possibly have to go back and tweak it then save again, preview again etc. I have never encountered this issue in previous versions on Photoshop or other machines. Ususally my experience has been the opposite, the frame timeline has always been slower, but previewing in Save fro Web has shown a pretty accurate preview.
    I also have a HP laptop running Windows 7, photoshop CS6 and I don't encounter this issue at all. It seems that everyones default answer on all of the forums is "different browsers handle .gif animation speeds differently, etc.." but int he past I have saved a .gif on my mac and it was slow and choppy in the Chrome, then I saved the same file on my PC transfered it back to the mac and previewed in Chrome and the animation played quickly and smoothly.
    I can't see it being a hardware issue because the machine I am using is farily new. iMac Late 2013/2013, 3.4 Ghz Intel Core i7, 16GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675MX 1024 MB, running OSX 10.8.4 Mountain Lion.
    Could it possibly be a setting or preference that needs to be changed? As I stated above it seems that now when I export the animation works fine in the browser the preview is just slow, but I have read that many people are having this issue so hopedully someone will have a solution.

    I don't use a Mac but the first the first thing I do when I have performance problems with Photoshop on my PC is to do some house cleaning.  I reset my Photoshop Preference to a saved copy I made when Photoshop was working well.  I Also clean my disk up clearing caches and temp files so the plenty of scratch space.  I close all applications and look at the machine CPU utilization. Then try Photoshop to see if it is back to its normal performance.

  • How can I use a iPhone as a remote intervalometer/web camera?

    Hey everyone.. got a question to throw out there and hopefully greater minds than mine will come up with an answer!
    I'm part of a model aircraft flying club and our airstrips/fields are quite isolated and remote... we have no mains electric power or telephone land-lines. What i'm after is a solution to getting a series of still images (snap-shots) of the clubs airfield on to the clubs website... remotely. I know there are a few apps out there that will allow a iPhone to be used as a remote camera, and you then log into a website to view the images, but all seem to fall short on some specific critera I require. Like I said, the clubs club-house (shipping container) as no power, so the phone will have to be eventually powered from a larger battery source... like a mobile-home leisure battery, and then conected to the internet using either a data-only sim card in the phone or using a mifi... that bit is sorted! What is the problem I so need help with is; I need to set the iPhone to shoot stills only, say at a rate of 1 image every 15 mins and then upload them to a web server/website, also only to take the pics between set times of the day... afterall it's pointless taking pics in the dark, and also that'll use up data. I've had a look at apps such as 'Manything' and 'Presence' and also done a trawl on the web to see if a solution is available, but i've drawn a blank so far.
    Any body able to help?

    If you are referring to an Apple TV or iTunes remote control then download the "Remote" app from the app store.
    If you are referring to a remote control for your TV, Cable box, DVD Player etc then you cannot use your iPhone as a remote for these things unless they are wifi connected and have a remote control app on the app store.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600a all of a sudden is not recognized by only my computer in the house

    Hi, I have 4 laptops in my house. We have all been connected wirelessly to my HP printer for over a year. All of a sudden, for some reason, my computer no longer sees the printer. I have an ASUS. I run Windows 7 with Windows Firewall. My router is a 3 month old Linksys EA3500. I can print from every other printer in the house, and I can also print from my Android Phone. However, when I try to print from my laptop, it now says that it is detecting printer has been turned off.  I have done everything I can think of to fix this. The only changes I recently made were installing Webroot AV program. I can't be 100% certain, but i'm pretty sure I have printed since that installation, and all of the other computers on my network are using Webroot as well with no issues. Hoping for some help. Here's what I've done so far:
    Tried troubleshooting printer via computer. It's gone through the spool service check and whatever else the standard troubleshooting does. It said something about my printer being turned off. It definitely was not, but I unplugged and restarted just to be sure. No fix.
    Noticed IP changed on printer and thought maybe something with static vs dynamic (don't know much about this) so went to "update IP address" on my laptop and updated the info. Checked the router settings info by entering printer's ip in browser. Printer shows connected and ready and all looks good. I pinged the ip and got results. Mac filtering is not enabled so I don't need to deal with that. SSID is not hidden. The 802.11 configuration says that the network type is WPA-PSK with WPA2 and AES selected for encryption. Same as it always has been.
    Double checked to make sure printer was recognizable by my firewall. It is on the accepted list.
    Last resort: I uninstalled the printer software and deleted the device from my laptop. Attempted reinstall, but when it gets to the part where it's supposed to search for the printer it says unable to find. I enter the IP address from the printer and it still cannot find. I enter the host name and it still can't find. Since I uninstalled everything, I can no longer install the printer at all.
    Went to drivers on line and tried using the install via online option. same results. "unable to find printer".
    I unpugged the printer from the wall again, this time for over an hour, hoping it would reset but realizing this probabaly isn't the issue  since every other laptop can print in my house.
    Tried to connect ethernet cable and install printer that way. Plugged one end into router and other into printer as directed on troubleshooting tips. Ran Disk software and it doesn't install the printer. IP address changes on printer when I use ethernet and I am entering new ip accordingly.
    Reset my modem and restarted. Reinitialized my router and then used the software to reconfigure it. did the standard 'wait ten seconds and plug everything back in and reboot computer'. No fix.
    Checked my wireless network adapter setting to make sure I have most updated drivers. I do.
    Deleted every single thing that relates to my printer in every folder and in regedit.
    Tried reinstalling printer both wirelessly and with ethernet. Still unable to find printer either way. 
    I have changed no settings that I can think of since the printer last worked a few weeks ago. As I said, every other computer prints perfectly. The only thing I can think that's different is that all the oher laptops are running Windows 8 and I'm still on 7, but that didn't matter before, and I can print from the HP print software on my phone.
    Please somebody tell me what I'm missing here. I'm going bonkers. Thank you so much to everyone who takes the time to reply on this support forum.
    This question was solved.

    Well you have done quite a bit.  Let's try here if you haven't.
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02915280&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lc...
    Then let's give this a shot.
    These settings are for setting up your wireless printer to stay connected to your router, keep wireless devices better connected and makes your router secure and hack proof.
    1. Set a static IP in the printer (click here) outside the DHCP range of the router (check your manual).
       This is for Linksys routers but can be used for all routers. Verify your DHCP range and change this
       first if needed. More Wireless Printing help is here (Windows solution 4, static IP).
    2. Verify in the printer that 'Auto Off' is disabled.  Use the Embedded Web Server (EWS) by going to the
       printers IP address in your browsers address bar, click Settings Tab/Auto Off. Or use the Printer
       Assistant, Printer Home Page (EWS).
    3. If the printer supports and has IPv6 enabled, turn off IPv6 in the printer.
    4. If needed and you assigned a static IP address, try using 8.8.8.8 for the Manual DNS server and
         8.8.4.4 preferred DNS server.
    In the router: (Refer to your router manual for information)
    5. Use a fixed wireless channel like 1, 6 or 11, never 'auto', try channel 1 first then the rest. 
    6. Set router to 20Mhz only, or 145Mbps depending on router. 
    7. Always use WPA2-AES (Personal) encryption, but you can try ‘mixed’ mode. 
    8. Disable WPS and never use it and disable UPnP for the routers security. Nobody can hack your
       system now and helps with wireless connectivity (if you want to know why, search the web).
    9. If you have a dual band router (2.4Ghz and 5.0Ghz bands), make sure the SSID’s are NOT the same,
       they must be different for all bands, even for any Guest networks.
    10. SSID broadcast must be enabled.
    11. Save all settings. Power off both, wait 2 mins.  Power on router wait 2 mins. 
    12. Power on printer and verify it reconnects to router. 
    Windows 7/8/8.1   Is Network Discovery on or off?
    Control Panel/Network and Internet/Network and Sharing Center/Advanced sharing settings.
    Under Home or Work (current profile) / Network Discovery.
    Select "Turn on network discovery" and save changes.

  • Spontaneous trouble receiving mail from Mail Application and Web Mail

    Hello,
    Unfortunately I need some assistance. For unknown reasons, today at about 12 PM our in house email server (10.3.9) started failing to allow any user to connect to download mail. I have users running POP and other users running IMAP accounts that had the same lack of function.
    When I connect using web mail I get the following error:
    Error connecting to IMAP server: localhost. 61 : Connection refused
    When I connect from the Mail application I get the following error:
    The server "mail.mycompany.com" refused to allow a connection on port 110
    
When I connect using the Server Admin program the IMAP and POP logs are empty despite being set to the “All events” setting, and the SMTP log contains the following message frequently despite still being able to send email from the affected accounts:
    (temporary failure. Command output: couldn't connect to lmtpd: Unknown Error Code: 0_ 421 4.3.0 deliver: couldn't connect to lmtpd_ )
    I have restarted the server, I have run disk utility to repair permissions and made no intentional adjustments to the server in the last week. The last adjustment to the mail server I made was about 1 month ago to turn on IMAP authentication to allow me to switch from a POP to an IMAP email account.
    Please help me figure this out!
    Thanks in advance.
    
Mike
    (PS I am a veterinarian, not an IT guru. I run my own mail and web servers because with Apple products, I can.)

    Thanks for your assistance.
    I found the logs and while there is a mail.log there is no mailaccess.log file.
    There is a mailaccess.log.0.gz which I decompressed and I also decompressed the mailacess.log.1.gz.
    The mailaccess.log.1 file contains entries from July 10th through July 11th.
    The mailaccess.log.0 file contains entries from August 14th through August 15th (today). Seems like there was a long period that did not get archived correctly.

    Looks like my mail database is trashed. Let me know if this is correct and if so, how I should go about trying to restore/rebuild, etc.
    Thanks again for your assistance.

  • My Sites error - 403 and "We're almost ready!" plaguing web application

    On an in-house managed farm, a My Site web application has been created per the instructions provided from
    Microsoft. The web application uses the managed path "personal" at the root of
    http://mysites.  The initial "We're almost ready!" screen when accessing a social feature like
    Newsfeed was anticipated.  However, in attempting to update the My Site content (i.e. profile information, newsfeed settings), the user is presented with a 403 Forbidden page - "The website declined to show this page".
    In ULS, this is made abundantly clear as well in the following logs:

    Bernando Nguyen's
    post
    Praveen's TechNet
    blog
    SharePoint Brian's suggestion to re-run the Product & Config wizard here
    Troubleshooting efforts so far in addition to the sources quoted above:
    Checking account permissions (obvious, with an "access denied" message) for UPA, Metadata and Workflow service accounts
    Creating a special permission policy for the web application to allow "Everyone" to create subsites
    Checking SQL rights for SA's and their respective DB's
    Started IIS application pool "SecurityTokenServiceApplicationPool" (it was stopped initially)
    ANY help in further troubleshooting this issue would be greatly appreciated.  I have already re-created the web application multiple times with the same results each time.  Thank you.
    Eric

    I re-created the web application again.  What's the definition of insanity?  Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result?  Well, in this case I actually did get a different result.  At least this time there
    wasn't a 403 error, but a 404!  Success!
    In any case, I used a load balancer for this farm and re-mapped the bindings in IIS to point to that IP.  Lo and behold, we have lift off!  Everything is working, even the social features.  All it took was me talking to myself in a forum and
    doing repetitive tasks expecting different results... oh, hang on, there's a nice gentleman in a white coat here to take me some place nice.  Thank you!

  • New hub 2.0 and the web

    Hi all
    New to the forum and in need of some assistance, I'll start from the begining.
    openreach have been out due to a few faults on my line....helpline said nothing wrong but would send an engineer. anyway the engineer decided to completely alter the house wiring for the phone/broadband even though it had been trouble free for about 8 years, he moved the main line connection to my home office, fitted a new adsl v1.0 box and remade all the other connections in the house....still no/slow broad band, so he went to several external junction boxes... came back several hours later to say all sorted.....water in joints. great I thought so both the engineer and I went to test the speed of the computer on the web, he then noticed I had a v1.0 hub and phone, he swapped these to a v2 hub and phone after talking to his helpline contact.
    great I now have the web much faster than I've ever had before. The engineer was brilliant and very helpful....all sorted
    The problem I have is prior to replacing the hub there is a local auction site i used to visit prior to their monthly auctions...this served to see if it was worth going or not. since using the v2 hub I cannot access the site even though I know it's not down ( checked using works web access).
    anyone any ideas
    thanks
    Pete

    Hi Pete. Welcome to the forums.
    May I ask what the site URL is ? Maybe it's not currently available for any BTinternet user, due to DNS or other problem.
    However quite a lot of times, a simple power cycle of the router (i.e. disconnect the internet, remove the power to the router for a minute or two, then reconnect). It might be that the current IP address you have has somehow become stale and can't access that site. It's a weird thing, but it can happen! (I'm sure there's a technical reason for the problem )
    To check IP address before/after router reboot - use something like http://www.whatismyip.com/ - hopefully you will get a different one and it will then give access to the site.

  • Integrate a web application to a portal

    I need some information or pointers (even better) and answers to 2
    questions
    1. I have a web app using jsps and servlets. If I want to integrate
    this app to a portal, what is the right approach? (considering the
    fact that the app have a lot of jsp)
    Assuming portlet is the way to go; how should I merge the user
    interface of my existing app to the portlet?
    2. Is web services only provided data, but not including any kind of
    format information e.g. html tags?
    thank you
    -Daniel Chau

    With regard to your first question - porting web-app to portal, you will need to
    focus on 2 areas:
    1. Navigation between pages within your current web-app. These will need to be
    ported to the BEA workflow framework so URLs can be resolved at run-time by the
    portal framework.
    2. Access control. If you have access control - then you will need to port this
    to the portal framework.
    Outside of these 2 issues - what you need to do - from a high level - is create
    a portlet which will house your web-app and move your jsp / other resources to
    the portlet directory. Update the web.xml file to reflect any resources you are
    using or special configuration, e.g., tag-libs.....
    Sorry i don't understand your second question...
