View Full Version : Dreamweaver Errors
Hello, can anyone tell me why I am getting these errors on Dreamweaver? The first one is when I open up dreamweaver. The second one is when I open up a file or page. And the third one is when I paste. The link is http://www.athletes4excellence.com/errors/dreamweavererrors..bmp for the erros.
Also, how can make my access to a site saved so I do not have to put the access every time. I have selected the "Save" after putting in the access, however the next time I used dreamweaver, the access was gone. Please and thank you!

Should be a simple fix try this:
Start (right click) explore >> find Application Data folder, click to open, find Macromedia folder, click to open, find DreamWeaver 8 folder, click to open and find Configuration folder. CLick it and look at the contents, and find "WinFileCache*.dat" Where the * is a bunch of numbers/letters. Delete this file(s).
Make sure DW was closed first, after deleting the file, reopen DW. Also note that the configuration folder and others are hidden files, so you may have to enable "show hidden files" first to see it.
I could not find the "WinFile..." and what do you mean by "Also note that the configuration folder and others are hidden files, so you may have to enable "show hidden files" first to see it." Thanks.

Right click on the Start button, choose "explore" inthe window that pops up find the top menu (File, Edit, View, Favorites, etc.) and click on "Tools" then select (should be the bottom option) "Folder Options"
In the new window that appears, click on the middle "View" tab, then look in the window. the (usually) second folder down is titled "Hidden files and folders" and there should be 2 radio buttons. Select the one that says "Show hidden files and folders" and click "Apply" at the bottom. Now click the "Apply to all folders" button near the top.
This will show you the hidden files. Then search for your file and delete it.
Still no signs of that file..

Do you see the configuration folder?
You can delete that (make backups first!) whole folder, although it generally isn't needed.
Yes, I see the configuration file.

If you don't see the hidden files in the config folder, try enabling them inside there again, following the same method mentioned above.
If they don't show up, reboot the computer and open DW. If you still get the errors, rename configuration folder to something like configuration_old and restart DW and see what happens.
Delete rename? "delete rename configuration folder..." what do youmean by that? Thanks!

Sorry, I am too sick to type today, LOL.
just rename, not delete. I fixed my post.
AMAZING!! Your a GENIUS! Thank you so much! I am not getting the errors when I open up Dreamweaver, however, I am still getting the opening files error and copy and paste errors.

Okay for the coldFusion error you need to open notepad. In notepad type (or copy and paste) the following:
<html>
<head>
<title>Kent Tag Translator</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=">
<script language="JavaScript">
function getTranslatorInfo()
{
returnArray = new Array(6);
returnArray[0] = "DREAMWEAVER_TEAM";
returnArray[1] = "Kent Tags";
returnArray[2] = "0";
returnArray[3] = "1"
returnArray[4] = "<kent>";
returnArray[5] = "byExpression";
return returnArray;
}
function translateMarkup(docNameStr, siteRootStr, inStr)
{
var outStr = "";
var start = inStr.indexOf('<kent>');
var replCode = replaceKentTag();
}
function()
{
var outStr = "";
if ( inStr.length <= 0 )
{return "";}
while (start != -1)
{
outStr = inStr.substring(0, start);
outStr = outStr + replCode;
outStr = outStr + inStr.substring(start+6);
inStr = outStr;
start = inStr.indexOf('<kent>');
}
return outStr;
}
function replaceKentTag()
{
var image = getImage();
var depFiles = dreamweaver.getSiteRoot() + image;
var imgTag = '<IMG SRC="/' + image + '" WIDTH="320" HEIGHT="240" ALT="Kent">\n';
var start = '<MM:BeginLock translatorClass="DREAMWEAVER_TEAM" type="kent">';
var end = '<MM:EndLock>';
var replCode = start + ' depFiles="' + depFiles + '"';
replCode = replCode + ' orig="%3Ckent%3E">\n';
replCode = replCode + imgTag;
replCode = replCode + end;
return replCode;
}
function getImage()
{
var today = new Date();
var day = today.getUTCDay();
var hour = today.getUTCHours();
var SFhour = hour - 8;
var platform = navigator.platform;
var imageRef;
if (SFhour < 0)
{
day = day - 1;
if (day < 0)
{
day = 6;
}
SFhour = SFhour + 24;
}
if (day != 0)
{
if (SFhour >= 10 && SFhour <= 12)
{
imageRef = "images/kent_tiredAndIrritated.jpg";
}
else if (SFhour >= 13 && SFhour <= 15)
{
imageRef = "images/kent_hungry.jpg";
}
else if (SFhour >= 16 && SFhour <= 17)
{
if (platform == "MacPPC")
{
imageRef = "images/kent_gettingStartedOnMac.jpg";
}
else
{
imageRef = "images/kent_gettingStartedOnWin.jpg";
}
}
else if (SFhour >= 18)
{
if (day == 6)
{
imageRef = "images/kent_dancing.jpg";
}
else if (platform == "MacPPC")
{
imageRef = "images/kent_hardAtWorkOnMac.jpg";
}else
{
imageRef = "images/kent_hardAtWorkOnWin.jpg";
}
}
else
{
imageRef = "images/kent_sleeping.jpg";
}
}
else
{
imageRef = "images/kent_sleeping.jpg";
}
return imageRef;
}
</script>
</head>

</body>
</html>
Save as kent.htm (not kent.htmL) and save it (or move it) to the Translators folder, which is inside the configurations folder (the one you renamed earlier).
As for the second one... that will be a bit tougher. If it still hangs around after the above fix then the only real solution is a complete uninstall and reinstall of DW.
To do that though you will have to remove EVERY instance of configurations and js files.
Let's hope you don't have to do that.
Well, I now get this popup. Go to this page and select "dreamweavererrors2.bmp". www.athletes4excellence.com/errors
Thanks!

By products of the worst case senario. Time to re-install DW.
Run the uninstaller as normal. THen if you don't already have it, get CCleaner (http://ccleaner.com) and double check through that (CCleaner = that) interface to ensure it isn't showing up anywhere.
Then use the registry cleaner inside CCleaner (make a back up when it tells you too) and get rid of all DW entries that way.
Reboot the computer, then reinstall DW.
Good Luck
Sorry, I having troubles understanding. lol "Run the uninstaller as normal. THen if you don't already have it,..." what do you mean by that?

Run the uninstaller.... Windows has the add/remove program uninstaller.. use it to uninstall DW as you normally would.
Then the next talks about a freeware program called CCleaner. If you do not have it... get it, if you already have it, use it ;)
I have to buy it to remove the errs on the "ErrorSmart" you told me to download? sigh...
BLiZZaRD

Perhaps. If I follow you correctly. CCLeaner is free, if you already have DreamWeaver then you don't need to buy it.
But I also told you a long time ago to not use DW in the first place ;)
What program should I use then if not Dreamweaver? Also, what does CCleaner do? I downloaded something called "ErrorSmart" and it scans files for errors and then tells to buy it to fix them... Thanks!

CCleaner is an all in one type utility. It cleans your harddrive of your internet cache, does a disk clean up, can uninstall programs (better than the Windows counterpart) cleans the registry and controls start up items.
Instead of DW.. use Notepad++ (http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/site.htm) or just plain notepad.
But, how do I see what I am doing and stuff?
And what should I do, reinstall Dream Weaver?

I knock DreamWeaver all the time. Just a pet peeve of mine. There is another on here (Daniel) that will support DW, and he uses it well.
The main problem with DW is that it can screw up your code, insert other things you don't know about and cause problems to your pages.
If you hand write the code yourself in notepad, then whatever you put there is all that will be on that page. If something is screwed up, you can fix it, because it is a problem with something you did. If you use DW and there is a problem you must rely on DW to help fix it, but that won't work. So you are stuck.
If you are a decent to very good programmer, like Daniel, then you can fix those problems when they arise.
If you are like me, then why even bother, I have enough troubles with my own code.
True the live preview is helpful, but really, if you upload a page and there is a problem when viewing it live, how hard is it to view/edit through an FTP client and re-work it?
I use FileZilla, and use the hell out it's ability to assign a defualt viewer (I have notepad++ as default) and right click choose view/edit and it opens the page in notepad++. I make a change, close, it asks to save, I say yes, it asks to re upload, I say yes, then click refresh on the browser.
Style of coding and how it is done is up to the individual making the page. If you like DW, then use it, just know the problems it can cause (as can any program). If you do use it, learn it. Read up on it, and find it's quirks and how to fix them.
If you choose not to use it, learn the programs you will use and how to fix them as well.
Re-install dreamweaver and use caution when installing add-ons and the like. :)
Great! I still get the errors!

Then there are one of two options, the first, and most likely, when you did the uninstall you didn't actually remove everything. The DW config files (the main problem here) can be a pain in the keister to remove.
The second option is your install program is corrupt. In which case you would need to geta new one from Adobe.
I think its the first and I would start over with the un-install. Before installing run a search for dreamweaver and see if anything pops up.
Well, the first time I installed it, it worked perfectly, then after when I closed it unproperly (Dreamweaver was on and I shutdown my computer), it started doing that. So how do I get a new one from Adobe?
BLiZZaRD

I would start with a complete uninstall. Make sure every remnant of DW is removed before re-installing.
How do I make sure that every remnant of DW is removed before re-installing with that "CCleaner"?

CCleaner will help. You can use CCleaner to un-install DW. Then use it to clean the regisrty of any left over DW parts.
THEN start button >> search and search for dream weaver and anything that comes up, delete it.
reboot, search again. Remove the program file folder, everything you see with dreamweaver in it.
Then run CCleaner registry cleaner again.
Then do a manual registry search... HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Macromedia\
in there you should get rid of both dreamweaver and then the 8 folder in common.
Go to run and type in %appdata% click ok and look for the Macromedia folder and then the dreamweaver folder and remove that as well.
That should about do it. THEN you can reinstall.
I've installed some tools from webassist.com which have some things to do with Dreamweaver, should I remove those as well?
I also have 3 files under Adobe/Adobe Extension Manager that are called "Dreamweaver" that I cannot delete (it gives me errors).
BLiZZaRD
01-13-2008, 06:00 PM
Webassist should be fine. As for the others, ensure that you have permission to delete those files (you are on an admin account) and that they aren't being used. If they are being used, close whatever is using them, or stop the process in task manager first.
Hey Blizzard, uhh, after doing all you told me and I tried installing it back, then now I get an error saying that it's corrupted when I am trying to install it. So how do I get another copy of it.
BLiZZaRD
01-13-2008, 09:43 PM
Well, you should have the activation code that came with your copy. You can go to adobe.com and get a "trial" version. Then install that. There is a place (either it will pop up on first run, or you can go to the help menu) where you can register. Enter the registration/activation code and it should unlock.
If not, you need to contact the appropriate channels through adobe.com
Hey Blizzard, I finally got a new installation. However, now I get this error. http://www.athletes4excellence.com/error and select the "dreamweaverinstallerror.bmp". Help please and thanks!

Try clicking retry. If that fails try installing again. If that fails then the file listed on the error message is corrupt and you need a new one.
