Monitoring System Resources

Using HomeSite

Monitoring System Resources

HomeSite's extensive use of GDI and User resources under Windows 98/ME has consistently caused problems for users on these platforms This section describes the problem and how to mitigate it

For more information, also see Knowledge Base article 21011 on the Macromedia Web site

Releasing system resources taken at start-up

One solution is to free up resources that Windows 98/ME takes at start-up for

unnecessary programs and processes

To release resources that Windows 98/ME takes at start-up:

1 On the Windows Start menu, click Run

2 Type msconfig in the Run dialog box and click OK

3 Carefully clear options that you are absolutely certain you do not need, use,

or have Record your changes as you proceed, in case you need to change back

4 Click Apply to save your changes

For a useful description of memory usage on Windows 98/ME systems, see the

Windows 9.x System Resources article on InfiniSource

After reclaiming these resources, if you still encounter difficulties with system

resources, you may benefit from configuring the Resource Level Monitor

About the Resource Level Monitor

Version 4.5.2 introduced the Resource Level Monitor to monitor system resources while the application is running The Resource Level Monitor warns users when resources reach a critical level, enabling them to save documents and close the application before a crash occurs However, the warning dialog box was not labeled with the application name, so the source of the warning was not clear, and users had

to edit the Windows registry to configure the monitor

As a result, the Resource Level Monitor has been enhanced for this release so that the warning dialog includes the application name in the window title and in the

Trang 23

Monitoring System Resources

Also, users can now configure the monitor in a graphical user interface

Using the Resource Level Monitor

This section explains how to respond to warnings and how to configure the monitor

Responding to warnings

The following graphic is an example of the warning dialog box that appears if you have the default warning threshold for GDI resources set at 15% and your available GDI resources drop below this level

For best results, at least save your work, even if you choose to continue If you choose to continue, the warning dialog box closes and will not appear again unless your system resources drops another 5%, for example, when GDI resources drop to 9%

Configuring the monitor

Users should configure the Resource Level Monitor if their system crashes without having been warned, or if they are being warned too frequently or unnecessarily You can adjust monitor options until you find a stable level for your system

To configure the Resource Level Monitor:

1 Open the Options > Settings > Resource Monitoring pane

2 Specify the following options, as necessary:

❍ Enable/disable resource monitoring

❍ Specify separate warning level thresholds for GDI and User resources (the default for each type of resource is 15%)

❍ Set a time interval for monitoring

3 Click Apply to save your changes

Working with Files on Remote Servers

Using HomeSite

Working with Files on Remote Servers

Working with directories and files on remote servers is virtually identical to working with them on local or network drives For example, when you save files, changes are saved to the remote server The primary difference is that you must establish a connection to a remote server before you can work with its files

You can work on remote servers from the Files tabs and from Windows Explorer via

Explorer shell integration If you do not need server access, you can clear the Options >

Settings > File Settings > FTP&RDS >Enable Explorer shell integration

Using the SNE node

The Macromedia FTP & RDS node, called the Shell Namespace Extension (SNE) node,

lets you work with files on configured remote servers in the application and in Windows Explorer You can add FTP servers from the SNE node (RDS access to servers is only available in ColdFusion Studio and JRun Studio.)

If you set the Drive list to My Computer, you can easily access all of your drives and SNE node servers on the File resource tab, as shown in the following graphic

In previous versions, the SNE node was called "Allaire FTP & RDS." In this version, the node is called "Macromedia FTP & RDS." If you install this version on a machine with a previous version of HomeSite, the previous version no longer recognizes the node To fix this, you must modify the SNE node

To use the SNE with earlier versions:

1 After completing the installation, run the SNECompatibility.exe program in the program directory; for example in C:\Program Files\Macromedia\HomeSite 5\SNECompatibility.exe

The Macromedia SNE Compatibility dialog box appears

Trang 31

2 Select the appropriate compatibility option:

❍ Allaire HomeSite/Studio 4.5.2 Enables the remote server functionality in

both this version and in previous versions and changes the name of the SNE node to "Allaire FTP & RDS."

❍ Macromedia HomeSite/Studio 5.0+ Enables the remote server

functionality only in this version

3 Click Switch to apply the change, and click Close

Connecting to servers

HomeSite provides FTP server access You can perform file transfers and other file

management tasks using Macromedia FTP & RDS

Required server information

You must have specific information about a remote server to connect to it, such as host name and user access requirements If you do not have this information, you must get it from the owner of that server, whether it is your IT group, an ISP, or another provider

Connecting to an FTP server

You can remotely access FTP servers for file transfers and other site management tasks using the Macromedia FTP & RDS feature Once the connection has been established, you can access files on remote servers and maintain Web sites located anywhere on the Internet

FTP server connection requirements vary greatly These instructions work in the majority

of cases, but you might have to try variations on the settings

Trang 32

3 Enter the following information for the server that you want to connect to:

Description Descriptive name to display

in the Files tab and in Windows Explorer

Host Name Server's IP address or

domain name, such as macromedia.com

Servers with ftp as part of the domain name require you to enter the complete name, for example

ftp.somesite.comInitial Directory Top-level directory for the

account

This is optional for accounts that default to the root directory of the FTP server, but it is required if the account specifies an initial directory

Relative from server-assigned directory

Option to specify if the Initial Directory should be set from the server-assigned user directory or from the server root

Clear this checkbox if the Initial Directory should be set from the server root

Username Login name for the account

used to access the remote server, or "anonymous" for anonymous FTP servers

If this field is left blank, you are asked for a username when you log in

Password Password for the account

used to access the remote server

If this field is left blank, you are asked for a password when you log in

Root URL The http:// address of the

site

This setting allows you to browse files that were opened from the remote server, edited, and saved.Remote Port Port used by the FTP server Use the default 21 unless

the server administrator or

ISP specifies another port.Request Timeout Maximum number of

seconds to wait for a server connection to complete

Trang 33

Disable passive mode

Option to select if the server does not use passive

connections

File time offset The number of hours ahead

or behind the current local time to use in the date/time information for files on the FTP server

If you set this value, you cannot select the Assume UTC file times option

Assume UTC file times

Option to adjust date/time information on the FTP server for servers using the Universal Coordinated Time format

Select this if you see incorrect date/time information for files on the FTP server

4 Click OK to complete the configuration

You can now work with files on the server

To view and edit the configuration for a remote server:

1 Right-click the server in the Macromedia FTP & RDS list and select Properties from the popup menu

2 Make the necessary changes, and then click OK to save the new server properties

To do a file size check after transferring a file:

1 Save, copy, or move the local file to the remote server using either of the following commands:

❍ File > Save or File > Save As from the menu

❍ File > Copy To or File > Move To from the right-click menu

2 If nothing happens, the file transfer was successful

An error message appears if there is a discrepancy between the byte counts of the local copy and the copy saved to the remote server

Enabling Secure FTP

Ipswitch FTP technology, installed with HomeSite, offers data security via Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to servers that support 40-bit encryption and decryption A default certificate and key are installed The Ipswitch Help files are available for this dialog box

Trang 34

Note

Unicode files cannot be transferred successfully using SSL, so disable the

Secure (SSL) feature in the Configure FTP Server dialog box before

transferring these types of files

To enable SSL for an FTP connection:

1 Open the Properties dialog box and select the Secure (SSL) option

2 Click the Configure SSL button and make the appropriate certificate entries Click the Help button for information on these settings

3 Click OK

Managing servers

Trang 35

You can easily change server configurations as needed

To view and edit the configuration for a server:

1 Right-click the server name in the Macromedia FTP & RDS list and select Properties from the menu

2 Make any changes as necessary in the Configure Server dialog box

3 Click OK to save your changes

Adding server mappings

By default, when you browse a document in the internal or external browser, it is opened from the local file system or returned via FTP from a remote server That is adequate for checking page content and formatting, but for developing a Web site you must see dynamic pages as the visitors to your site will actually experience them

To do this, you can route the documents through a Web server The server software can

be on the local machine, a network server, or a remote system So, instead of just

opening the files, an HTTP request for the page is sent to the server If any server-side processing is required, such as for server-side includes, forms, ColdFusion applications,

or Active Server Pages, the Web server will hand off the page to the appropriate server for further processing, then return it to the browser This is valuable for previewing

applications and site elements in a test environment before deploying the site

You establish this routing by associating the physical directories where your files are stored with the server that processes the files This association is called a mapping A wide range of Web servers is supported, so you can create multiple mappings and select which server to use for processing as needed Consult your server documentation or provider for the specifics of accessing server directories

Note

To use server mappings, either Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Mozilla

NGLayout must be configured as the internal browser

Anwer these questions in the RDS dialog box:

Trang 36

This section provides instructions for adding a server mapping in HomeSite and in

Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS), and how to set a default mapping

For more information on setting up server mappings, see Knowledge Base Articles 8347

and 8500 on the Macromedia Web site

To add a mapping:

1 Open the Options > Settings > Browse pane

2 If necessary, select either Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape

3 Select the Enable server mappings option

4 Click Add

5 Enter the document root path to map from

In this example, the IIS document root is used
