Q: I cannot publish with Front Page. Why is this?
A: Your
Front Page extensions may not be turned on and/or your domain may not be
enabled at the server.
1.
Go to your
control panel and request FrontPage extensions to be turned on.
2.
Once your FrontPage
extensions are activated, you can start publishing to http://www.yourdomain.com
(your permanent domain name.)
NEVER try publishing to the temporary URL that we assign you.
Q:
What UserID and Password should I enter when
using Front Page?
A:
Your FrontPage userid and password should be the same as your Hosting Account
userid
and password. Contact support if this does not work.
Q:
How do I publish to a subweb?
A:
When publishing a SubWeb, if you publish directly to your account it will
publish to the ROOT directory overwriting any existing files. The best way
to publish a SubWeb is to publish the Parent Web and select the Include
SubWebs option. This will ensure that the SubWeb publishes to the correct
sub-folder. You may have to manually create the sub-folder first.
DreamWeaver
Q:
Why does my DSN-less connection to my ACCESS DB
not work in Dreamweaver?
A:
To find the path of your DB in Dreamweaver, you will have to hardcode the FULL path instead of using a Mappath("mydb.mdb").
Q:
Why doesn't my ACCESS DB work in Dreamweaver?
A: In
order to create database backed pages in Dreamweaver (UltraDev, or MX) you
first need to create a connection to the database. Then you use that
connection to put data on the pages. This connection will also allow you
to preview the data within the Dreamweaver workspace.
In order to make this happen Dreamweaver creates temp files on the
"Application Server". These pages are for the sole reason to
assist in creating pages within Dreamweaver. For whatever reason
Dreamweaver was bombing out trying to create these pages.
The solution is to avoid editing directly on the server (which one would
typically do if on a LAN), and to set up a web server on the local
machine. You then need to use the local webserver as the "Application
Server", Develop and test only on the local machine, and then upload
to the web server.
