can't preview....

[Guest_imported]

hello,

My name is Don and I have to first state that I'm a newbie with Ultradev. I have recently acquired Ultradev4 and purchased a win2000 server hosting.

The problem that I'm experiencing right now is that whenever I try to preview my asp pages I get a 404 page not found error with the following possible cause;

Here are some possible reasons for the problem:

1) There is no ASP server running on the machine named "claneos.net".
2) The application server specified for this site does not map to the

http://www.claneos.net.

Verify that the URL Prefix maps to the root of the site.

I have no problem connecting to my hosting server's database and I have successfully made a recordset. I'm trying to preview my recordset items that I've drag and drop to an asp page using IE 5.5.

I'm pretty sure that my hosting plan includes asp and the application is there. I have no trouble connecting to my application server via ftp but whenever I try to preview it I get the above message. If I upload the page and try to view it in the browser by typing in the exact URL, I get a login popup askin for my ftp username and password. When I enter in my username and password, the correct page displays.

Any ideas on what the problem might be???

Hello Don!

I would firstly check two things:

1) you should set Application Server (Site > Define Sites.. > select your site, Edit > Application Server);

2) you should set DW UltraDev to preview pages via Application Server (Edit > Preferences... > Preview in Browser > check Preview Using Application Server).

Say it helps or not

Good Luck!

I'll try chaning my URL prifix from Local host the name of my server.
Site> Define Sites> Edit> Applicatin Server> URL Prefix: make it map to your server instead of local host.

i had the same problem as you and this is how i solved it:

1: define you site to map to your root folder on your server as suggested.

2: make sure the folder set up is the exact same as on your machine when it worked. (put up the connections folder with whatever connection is in it, along with your database) if the page cannot reach any of these items it won't display at all.
