Defining a Dreamweaver site
(PHP)
After configuring your system, copy the sample files to a local folder and
define a Dreamweaver site to manage the files.
To define a Dreamweaver site:
1.
Copy the sample files to a folder on your hard disk (see
sample files" on page
2. Define the folder as a Dreamweaver local folder (see
folder" on page 312).
3.
Define your root folder on the web server as a Dreamweaver remote
folder (see "Defining a remote folder" on page
4. Specify a folder to process dynamic pages (see
dynamic pages can be processed (PHP)" on page
5.
Upload the sample files to the web server (see
files" on page 315).
Copying the sample files
If you haven't already done so, copy the sample files from the Dreamweaver
application folder to a folder on your hard disk.
To copy the sample files:
1. Create a new folder called local_sites in your user folder on your hard
disk.
For example, create one of the following folders:
C:\Documents and Setting\your_user_name\My
Documents\local_sites (Windows)
/Users/your_user_name/Documents/local_sites (Macintosh).
On the Macintosh, there's a folder called Sites already in your user folder.
Don't use that Sites folder as your local folder; the Sites folder is where
you place your pages to make them publicly accessible when you're using
the Macintosh as a web server.
