Working with Dreamweaver sites
Last updated 3/28/2012
Set up a testing server
If you plan to develop dynamic pages, Dreamweaver needs the services of a testing server to generate and display
dynamic content while you work. The testing server can be your local computer, a development server, a staging server,
or a production server.
For a detailed overview about the purposes of a testing server, see David Powers’s Dreamweaver Developer Center
article,
Setting up a local testing server in Dreamweaver CS5.

Set up a testing server
1 Select Site > Manage Sites.
2 Click New to set up a new site, or select an existing Dreamweaver site and click Edit.
3 In the Site Setup dialog box, select the Servers category and do one of the following:
Click the Add New Server button to add a new server
Select an existing server and click the Edit Existing Server button
4 Specify Basic options as necessary, and then click the Advanced button.
Note: You must specify a Web URL in the Basic screen when specifying a testing server. For more information, see the
next section.
5 Under Testing Server, select the server model you want to use for your web application.
Note: As of Dreamweaver CS5, Dreamweaver no longer installs ASP.NET, ASP JavaScript, or JSP server behaviors.
(You can manually
re-enable the deprecated server behaviors if you wish, but keep in mind that Dreamweaver no
longer officially supports them.) If you’re working on ASP.NET, ASP JavaScript, or JSP pages, however, Dreamweaver
will still support Live view, code coloring, and code hinting for those pages. You do not need to select ASP.NET, ASP
JavaScript or JSP in the Site Definition dialog box for any of these features to work.
6 Click Save to close the Advanced screen. Then in the Servers category, specify the server you just added or edited
as a testing server.
About the Web URL for the testing server
You must specify a Web URL so Dreamweaver can use the services of a testing server to display data and to connect
to databases while you work. Dreamweaver uses the design-time connection to provide you with useful information
about the database, such as the names of the tables in your database and the names of the columns in your tables.
A Web URL for a testing server comprises the domain name and any of your website’s home directory’s subdirectories
or virtual directories.
Note: The terminology used in Microsoft IIS may vary from server to server, but the same concepts apply to most web
servers.
The home directory The folder on the server mapped to your site’s domain name. Suppose the folder you want to use
to process dynamic pages is c:\sites\company\, and this folder is your home directory (that is, this folder is mapped to
