:::::::::::

i'm quite new to the world of dreamweaver, and as such i have been unable to
properly set up my 2 sites.

the situation is this :

I have 2 SITES of which i have the DNS set to point towards ONE ftp server.

I am able to place one of the sites LIVE on the WEB .

but no matter how i configure the folder heirarchy
i cannot view the second site online.
I get the SPECIFIED URL CANNOT BE FOUND error.

i have 2 FTP's set up instead of dreamweaver SITES .
one site has a root host directory of PUBLIC_HTML . this site is live .
the second site i have placed inside PUBLIC_HTML/COMMONALMS/PUBLIC_HTML

ive made PUBLIC_HTML/COMMONALMS/PUBLIC_HTML the HOST directory for the 2nd
site.

no matter what i've tried i cannot get both sites LIVE online.

please offer any pertinent advice as to how i should configure the files and
site structures
in order to have 2 seperate sites hosted on one ftp server???????????????????

you need to put each site in a seperate subfolder then in the root put an
index.asp or default.asp page with the following code :

<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT"%>
<%
sname = Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME")
sname = ucase(sname)
if InStr(sname,"SITE1") <> 0 then
response.redirect "site1"
elseif InStr(sname,"SITE2") <> 0 then
response.redirect "site2"
end if
%>

where the name in capitals is the URL and the name in lower case is the
folder name.

note the URL must be in capital letters.

hope that helps

Hmm - I wonder how SE's would like that.... It may work!

You'd have to make sure to use ONLY document relative links in the
respective site, or perhaps a <base> tag though, right?

The number of ftp-servers is pretty irrelevant from the user's point of
view. You need to have the domains pointing to two different folders,
and you *must* do this in co-operation with your host. If they accept
the arrangement and can set up two nameservers, you can fix this in
co-operation with them.

The, you just set up DW with two sites pointing to the two different
folders on the same ftp-server.
