Chapter 12: Creating And Managing Website Connections; About Creating And Sending Connections - MACROMEDIA CONTRIBUTE 3 - USING AND ADMINISTERING CONTRIBUTE Use Manual

Creating and Managing Website Connections
After you have installed Macromedia Contribute, you must create a connection to a website
before you can begin to edit its pages or create new pages.
This chapter explains how to use the Contribute Connection Wizard (Windows) or Connection
Assistant (Macintosh) to create a connection. It also explains how to set administrative settings for
a website and how to rename and remove website connections.
After you've created the website connection, you can create roles (see
on page 197) and then export site connection information to your users.

About creating and sending connections

When you connect to a website, depending on your web server configuration and the complexity
of your website, Contribute may not be able to automatically detect all possible web server
configurations. The Web Server settings of the Administer Website dialog box let you specify
alternate configurations for your website's index files and alternate web addresses.
