Remote Web Site

L

LISA - The flash

I have two web sites that have the same Remote site:
ie
www3.telus.net/public_html

But the different users and passwords.

I set up the first one ok...now the second one thinks it is the same as the
first.

How do I change the Remote site user of the second????

Do you have registered domains??
If so Publish to the domains.
http://www.website1.com
http://www.website2.com

If not, leave off the public_html part and publish to http://www3.telus.net and you will be
prompted for a user name and password. When entered you will go to the "proper" account / website.

The user name determines "which" public_html folder the server points you to.

It sounds like you are having your hosting provider configure DNS so that
requests for either website will result in a single website being displayed.

That is, you have two websites, let's call one website_A.com and the other
website_B.com.
When somebody tries to access website_A.com then website_A.com will be
displayed. If somebody tries to access website_B.com then website_A.com will
still be displayed. Is this right?

So, if that was right it sounds like you have been using website_B.com to
register user names and passwords in a database before you decided to have
all requests for website_B.com to be resolved by displaying website_A.com.
That would be why the user names and passwords from website_B.com are not in
the database at website_A.com. Is this right?

I've written code for two customer projects that needed help synchronizing
their databases. Basically, all user names and passwords are migrated for
the old database at website_B.com and the database at website_A.com is
updated. Some other code may be required.

I tried to leave off: public_html..... it still just automatically logs in.

YES, it is precisely that I started out logging in to B and now A logs in to
the same site.

Any advice to how to solve this????

Either way, you need to tranfer all of the records from the old database
into the new database and perhaps modify the code being used to authenticate
user logins. If you are using the Access/JET database read the helpfile that
explains how to migrate data between databases. You might be able to figure
this out on your own.

With FrontPage closed,
Open Network places and remove the listing for the website.
Then copy and paste this into Start > Run or the IE address bar and click Ok or Go as appropriate:

%UserProfile%\Application Data\Microsoft\Web Server Extensions\Cache

In the folder that opens delete any and all files that show. Yep, delete them and close the folder

Reopen FrontPage and one of the webs and try publishing again and see what happens.

If this doesn't work we need to clear some registry entries.

Ok, I did what was suggested...still no go. It still seems to be remembering
the log in and password of the first one. It automatically comes up with the
sign in of the first one and when I try to put in the log in and password of
the second it keeps saying it's wrong.

Ok, try this:

Close IE and Right click the IE icon on the desktop. Click the Content Tab, Click the Auto complete
button,
Click Clear Passwords and then Click Ok and OK.

Reopen FrontPage and try again.

If no luck, **as a last resort,** But if you're not comfortable working in the registry don't do it.

Click Start > Run and enter regedit and click OK.
Click plus signs and go to the key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\FrontPage\Explorer\FrontPage Explorer\Recent Publish List

right click on and delete the keys named Web1 Web2 etc, but *Do Not* delete the value named
Default.
Close regedit and reopen FrontPage.

However, I'm beginning to think this is a server issue with your host.

I tried all of what was suggested below. I do not think it is a server issue
with my host because I can use Coffee Cup FTP to transfer the files with the
proper log in and password. I am wondering if it is a problem with the fact
that when I opened the site in the wrong one (not realizing it) it somehow
left something in the file or something that keeps thinking it is the other
one. What file would this affect? The index? Would there be a way to
create a new web file...do you know what I mean?

Anyway, if you could shed some light I would truly appreciate it. Thanks

FTP login and FP http login is two completely different functions. The FTP login is working with a
FTP server and the FP login is working with a HTTP server and the FP extensions.

The problem is that you have two domain associated with the same IP Address/Account and the FP
extensions are applied to the first domain set up on the account.

If you want to maintain each site separately, then each needs to be in a individual subweb, and then
you would access them from FP, like:

http://www.firstdomainname.com/site1
http://www.firstdomainname.com/site2

However depending on how your host has the DNS setup the browser would see the individual domains
and the associated content for the individual domain. Basically the host need to point each domain
to the specific subweb unless you use server-side scripting to manage the domain re-direction.

Here is two of my sites that share the same webspace/IP address, and ASP/VBScript is use to display
the correct content based on the domain requested.

http://www.ecom-data.com
http://www.ycoln-design.com

Ecom-Data is the primary domain for the hosting account, and it is the domain that I always open in
FP to work on either site.
