I have a big solution that contains a lot of .aspx file, basically it's a big sln file for my whole server
I wanted to add a website in my IIS server that contains inside a child directory within the root site folder, for example:
my-tools.com physical path is D:/MyWeb <-- Working well
I added a secondary sites, with no relation to the upper site called mysite which is like that:
mysite.my-tools.com which its path it D:/MyWeb/MySite/
If I try to reach mysite.my-tools.com/M_Index.aspx file it give me an error tells me it's not found, however, when I try to view a .jps file from the same directory (e.g mysite.my-tools.com/test.jpg) it returns just find.
it's important to tell that all the pages share the same solution, what do I do here and why it is not working? can anyone tell me?
thanks a lot
having the folder separated like you do is a step in the right direction. next step is to configure IIS to point to that separate folder. then you would need to create a DNS entry for your sub-domain at your DNS host. "subdomain.domain.com". You would be creating a new site, so you could use the same IP address, as long as you add the proper host headers for each site.

I'm developing a new website that will have the same domain name as the current old one, but a different host. The new one doesn't have DNS nameservers pointed to it yet, but I edited the hosts file on my computer to be able to access it. Is there a way I can now still access the old current one on the same computer, since it would help me with development, without changing the hosts file everytime?
Thanks :)
You can check the old site by using the temporary URL
http://server_ip/~cpanelusername/
but many of host block ip preview. You also can use archive.org. You can save the old site before starting new.
For this type scenario, I use a subdomain to built a new site.
www.mysite.com >> www.dev.mysite.com
If possible, it can be helpful to set up an alias and then create an A record for that alias that points to the new site. This allows you to reach the new site via a different name but it will still look at all the files and database(s) as it would normally.
This is helpful for when you want to test the new site before it goes live without having to comment and uncomment the hosts file continuously.
One thing to watch out for is that any URLs that are the full URL such as example.com/whatever instead of /whatever won't work. However, as it is generally bad practise to do the full URL in case the domain ever changes; this can be a good way of finding and corrected any.
I have around 20 websites created a single web-server, now i have made a tool which will be common for all the websites, so i have a common user-control, which i am using on .aspx file inside all the website
Now i want to keep these user-controls in a location outside the website directory so that i can access these same control to all the websites.However i cannot find a way to get the directory outside the website's root directory. I googled around and saw the option to make the directory as virtual one, so that it will be accessible to the site, but here i would have to link the folder to one website at a time, so it would be same keeping controls in separate websites, which i want to avoid for update reasons.Can anyone tell me how can i achieve this.
Hi In rough unchecked code something like:
You can access like this.
webRootPath = Server.MapPath("~")
docPath = Path.GetFullPath(Path.Combine(rootPath, "..\Documents/MyDocument.xml"))
Using FileZilla, I can access folders that are outside my web directory. How can I do the same with Dreamweaver so that I can edit the files and automatically save/upload all through Dreamweaver? I currently can only access the web directory.
I know how to include them with PHP, but I would like Dreamweaver to find/access them.
Thank you!
You would have to set the Site Definition (both local and remote) paths to look one level higher than you currently have it. So if the local path is
My Documents/Web Sites/This Site
you would change it to
My Documents/Web Sites/
and if the remote is:
/user/home/domain.com/
change to
/user/home/
The problem you are going to run into is that Dreamweaver doesn't work well when set like this. It assumes the Remote path is the public web root and will create all sorts of files and folders there automatically and DW expects those to be in the public root. Also, things like setting paths to includes and images automatically will start to not work as all paths will start outside of the public web root.
Best to leave it as it is and use an external FTP program to handle the files outside of the web site.
We've bumped up against this situation previously where the desire was to have the PHP include files be moved outside the public HTML directory. JCL1178's answer is absolutely conceptually correct.
The actual implementation was to duplicate the site (under "Manage Sites") and essentially create a separate site for the "includes" directory that would go one level up. So the "Root Directory" setting was normal (in our case "public_html/" in the main site and we removed "public_html/" from the Root Directory setting in the "includes" site, effectively causing the path to go one level up.
Definitely not an ideal situation/workflow, to say the least, as you'll end up with two site definitions for one site (which can cause other issues); but Dreamweaver is what it is. We were working on a project offsite that did not allow for anything other than Dreamweaver to be used, so this is what we came up with to comply.
As an added note: we were only able to implement this solution because the webhosting plan allowed us to get to the root. If you're on a webhosting plan that is strictly limited to the public directory, the whole thing will be DOA.
I am trying to create a site with xhtml I have it done I just need to figure out how to upload it
I am using 000webhost as my web hoster but whenever I go on my main page it says
index of/
then it says all of my sites
I want to go directly to m main site
how do I do that?
You should go to:
Members area,
Login,
Select in Action GoTo Cpanel and then:
You should configure your FTP servers, upload an index.html or index.php file and put your main information there.
EDIT:
You should upload everything to your public_html folder always, you should see a file that should say do_not_upload_here before that folder.
Public html is what what it sounds like. The html container folder that contains what will be visible*. (*VERY rough explanation)
You can use their file manager or an FTP client for this pourpose.
BTW beware of the affiliate programe fo 000webhost, check it out, total hoax (the web hosting is very good for being free).
I´ll gladly expand if you have any doubts.
Here is a good FTP basic tutorial:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I85sldEvLuY&feature=related
Do you have an index.html file in your root directory with your host? Without one of those (or another similar index file), you will just see a directory listing of your site.
I am working with two different web sites in asp.net. In the first project i upload some images to a specific folder under the project root and save just the filename in the database, now i am trying to display this images at some page of the second project I know the filename from the database and the image folder as absolute pat but I have not been able to display the image, even thought when looking in firebug the image src is correct src="D:/MyFolder/image.jpg" the image does not display, probably because it is not pointing in the right directory.
I have also tried using Server.MapPath and then my D location but still no success.
I am sure someone has faced the same situation before and was really hoping to get some hint to manage this.
Thank you in advance
I found my solution, strange but i didn't catch it before. Uploaded pictures under a project can always be accessed using the url of the project http://www.yourwebsite.com/images/photo.png now in the second project you can use reference the images using this url and concatenating the file name which i store on database. I think this is the best solution and without changing the code access security which i think can bring other problems with it. Anyway thank you guys.
If you want to display the image that is not in your project (I mean it is present in some other project or some other drive) just create the virtual directory in IIS
Go to "Run", type inetmgr
Right click on your project and add virtual directory
Give alias name and path so that it acts like folder in your project
I don't think you can serve files outside of your application path by default. It's called Code Access Security. You can read up on it here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/930b76w0.aspx
You can fix this by changing your trust level to High in your web.config:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/tkscy493.aspx
I wouldn't recommend doing this for any site that is externally accessible. In fact, depending on how/where you're hosting your application, this option may be restricted.
You can only "link" to files that exist relative to the same project or are hosted on another site via an absolute URL.
If you want to service files outside the application/website (on disk or in a database) you will need to build a mechanism that gets the file and binary writes it to the browser, setting the MIME type etc. This is best done using an HttpHandler.
