NOTE: Please make sure you have activated your MyWeb service through https://eraider.ttu.edu before proceeding.

TIP: If you are off the TTU campus or connected in the TTU residence halls, you will need to establish a TTUnet VPN connection before beginning these steps.

1) Open Internet Explorer.

2) Type \\myweb.ttu.edu\users\your_eRaider_username in the Address Bar of your Internet Explorer window. Then, press Enter.

NOTE: If prompted for credentials, use the following:

• Username: ttu\your_eRaider_username

3) Close the MyWeb window which opens, and close Internet Explorer.

CAUTION: These instructions are for editing a website live on the MyWeb server without using a local copy. Saved changes are immediately applied to the MyWeb page. If you wish to have a local copy, refer to How to: Connect to MyWeb and edit content locally and publish.

4) Open Dreamweaver and click on the Site menu. Choose Manage Sites from the drop-down list.

5) Before adding a new entry for MyWeb, review the list of sites to see if you have existing entries listed for your personal TTU website (MyWeb). If so, consider selecting them from the list and clicking the minus sign to avoid confusing them with the new entry you are about to add. (This will not delete or modify any of the actual files stored on the server.)

6) Click the New Site button.

7) In the new window that opens, click the Site sub-section if it is not already selected. Type a name for your site in the Site Name box. This can be any descriptive name you wish, such as "MyWeb."

In the "Local Site Folder" box, type \\myweb.ttu.edu\users\your_eraider_username\

8) Click the Servers sub-section, and then click the plus (+) button.

9) Under the Basic tab, configure the following settings and click Save.

• Server Name: any descriptive name you wish, such as "MyWeb"
• Connect using: Local/Network
• Server Folder: \\myweb.ttu.edu\users\your_eRaider_username
• Web URL: https://www.myweb.ttu.edu/your_eRaider_username

10) Click Save.

11) If you get a message about the cache needing to be recreated, click OK.

12) Click Done.

13) Click File and choose New.

14) Select the type of file you wish to create from the "Document Type" list, give a name for the file next to "Title," and click Create.

 15) Edit the file with the buillt-in file editor and save the file. Your changes will be immediately applied to your site. Refresh the site to view applied changes.

OUTCOME

You will be able to edit your MyWeb website with Dreamweaver. Any changes you save will be immediately visible to anyone on the Internet at https://www.myweb.ttu.edu/your_eRaider_username or https://myweb.ttu.edu/your_eRaider_username.

CAUTION: Files you delete from MyWeb are unrecoverable.

The name of the home page required is one of the following:

• index.php
• index.asp
• index.aspx
• index.htm
• index.html
• default.php
• default.asp
• default.aspx
• default.htm
• default.html
• home.php
• home.asp
• home.aspx
• home.htm
• home.html

The web server will look for the file names in the order listed above. The file name is case sensitive. If you rename your home page file to one of these file names, then the page should show up when you go to your website's URL at either https://myweb.ttu.edu/your_eRaider_username or https://www.myweb.ttu.edu/your_eRaider_username. Be sure you have your home page in the root directory of your account and not in a sub-folder.
