Setup checklist
for ASP developers
To set up a web application, you must configure your
system, define a Dreamweaver site, and connect to
a database. This section provides checklists for each
task. The procedures are described in the rest of
the chapter.
Configure your system:
Make sure you have a web server.
Install an application server.
Test your installation.
Create a root folder.
Define a Dreamweaver site:
Copy the sample files to a folder on your hard disk.
Define the folder as a Dreamweaver local folder.
Define a web server folder as a Dreamweaver remote
folder.
Specify a folder to process dynamic pages.
Upload the sample files to the web server.
Connect to the database (local configuration):
Create the connection in Dreamweaver.
Connect to the database (remote server configuration):
Set up the sample database on the computer running
your web server.
Create the connection in Dreamweaver.
Showing and hiding site map files
You can modify the layout of the site map to show
or hide hidden and dependent files. This is useful
when you want to emphasize key topics or content and
de-emphasize less important material.
To hide a file using the site map, you must mark
the file as hidden. When you hide a file, its links
are also hidden. When you display a file marked as
hidden, the icon and its links are visible in the
site map, but the names appear in italics.
Note: By default, dependent files are already hidden.
To mark files as hidden in the site map:
In the site map, select one or more files.
Choose View > Show/Hide Link (Windows) or Site
> Site Map View > Show/Hide Link (Macintosh).
To show or hide files marked as hidden in the site
map, do one of the following:
Choose View > Show Files Marked as Hidden (Windows)
or Site > Site Map View > Show Files Marked
as Hidden (Macintosh).
Choose View > Layout (Windows) or Site > Site
Map View > Layout (Macintosh) to open the Site
Definition dialog box, and then select the Display
Files Marked as Hidden option.
To show dependent files in the site map, do one of
the following:
Choose View > Show Dependent Files (Windows) or
Site > Site Map View > Show Dependent Files
(Macintosh).
Choose View > Layout (Windows) or Site > Site
Map View > Layout (Macintosh) to open the Site
Definition dialog box, and select the Display Dependent
Files option.
To unmark files marked as hidden in the site map:
In the site map, select one or more files.
Choose View > Show Files Marked as Hidden (Windows)
or Site > Site Map View > Show Files Marked
as Hidden (Macintosh).
Choose View > Show/Hide Link (Windows) or Site
> Site Map View > Show/Hide Link (Macintosh).
