Week 1- working with Dreamweaver and Hosting

  • Open Dreamweaver MX OR Dreamweaver CS, here I am using Dreamweaver CS 3 to create my website and interact with database.
  • Click on "SITE" tag => new site


  • + I name my site as register then give a hosting link that i already got :
    http://cctmdev2.londonmet.ac.uk/
  • but the link is only directs me to the hosting, not in my account, so if I want to upload my sites into my account, I have to give my username account after the link, it should be :
http://cctmdev2.londonmet.ac.uk/vhp0003


  • set up scripting language interacting with server:

  • my scripting language about e-commerce is ASP so I will choose ASP VBScript

  • Next step is choose a path that we can store to and upload from
