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

  1. When I reach at a stage connecting to testing server, I fail to connect to hosting.

    If I leave blank textfield on "what folder on testing server do you you want to store in ?", I can connect to hosting. the problem is caused by FTP Hosting permission.

    By the way, as following step by step, my dreamweaver can only upload a webpage to via folder that I want to upload directly into.
    For example:
    on my hosting server, I have a folder in my account called vhp0003, then I create 2 sub-folders and named them by coursework1 and coursewokr2 respectively.

    I used dreamweaver to code first ASP webpage called "default.asp" then I want to upload and preview this file in sub-folder named "coursework1". espectively, the url is correct as I want as "http://ccthmdev2.londonmet.ac.uk/vhp0003/coursework1/default.asp", but when I check a file "default.asp" on testing server, unfortunately, it was put outside of coursework1, and in the main folder "vhp0003". this is what I do not want.
