Publishing your Sitebuilder Site
This scenario shows how to publish your sitebuilder site via FTP.
We have had most success when first going into your control panel, http://control.appliedi.net and going to the FTP Account manager. Delete the default yourdomain.com FTP account, and create a new one. Set the path of the directory to be wwwroot.
Save this new account and, also make certain you have ASP.net 2.0/3 enabled on the "Website Settings Page". Now, follow these Sitebuilder publishing steps at http://sitebuilder.appliedi.net :
- Go to the Publish tab.
- Click Publish in the bottom right part of the Publish page.
The publishing dialog box opens.
Select the Publishing to known FTP option.
The fields for entering your host parameters appear. You must use either the FTP server name as displayed in the control panel
http://control.appliedi.net or if Sitebuilder displays a drop down menu, please select the server name as displayed in the "website settings" page of your control panel (Example: WEB01.appleidi.net)
4Enter your FTP server IP address or the domain name in the Host field.
Enter the address your site will be available at after publication in the
Web site URL field, or if you get an error about the URL, use the temporary site URL (
http://***.mytempweb.com).
Leave the FTP path BLANK. This is important.
Select the authentication type:
- Specify account option and provide the credentials for access to the server in the Login and Password field.
- It should something look like this screenshot >
Click OK.
After you click OK, the system checks whether the publishing parameters are valid. During this check the following errors may occur:
Some of the specified FTP parameters are invalid. In that case, you will be prompted for correcting the parameters.
If the host parameters are correct, the publishing process will start. You can track the progress of the publishing process and stop it at any moment by clicking Cancel.
To finish your working with SiteBuilder, click Finish.
