Hello:
I just purchased CCS and am liking it thus far, but here is a snag, I made a project in code charge studio and published in a local machine. It uses a mysql database in the local machine and currently I am using localhost as a dev host.
I then published everything to my remote server. When I open the page, most things are missing, ccs, images, header, footer, db, etc. So of course just means links are broken, and i know I have to deal with the db connection, but since I moved/published everything into main folder on my remote server, same name as local by the way, I don't understand why the basics, templates, images, headers, etc. are not appearing.
I don't see a mention of this exact issue in the forum, so I feel I must have done something incorrectly.
I would like to know if I didn't publish correctly, which I don't think is the case, since all the files are on my remote server now.
I don't mind tweaking paths, what do I need to change in the code, but then I don't think I should have to change anything since all the files are going into the one folder.
Any insight, suggestions, explanations would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Open CCS, on "Home" tab click "Publishing settings" on "Files to publish" you decide what files should be published, so if you want to publish all (except the project files, which really should be only on your local development PC), check "All files excluding extensions" and leave default values in textbox.
For more info open CCS help file and search for "Configuring Publishing Settings" topic.

HI Lucius
Thanks for your response. I have the publishing setting complete. As mentioned all my files were successful published to my remote server, but I guess the more direct question is, why are all the links to images, headers, footers, etc. broken when publishing to another server?

Hi,
Well that depends on your local vs remote host folder structure as well as the relative and absolute linking you might have used in your HTML. It's not a CCS issue, but how you define linking to objects in your pages.
What I can recommend is using some developer debugging plugin/function in web browser, like Firebug plugin for Firefox, or doing it the old fashion way - check webpage source.
See what is your browser requesting, what is the path of an image or file missing and then check how you defined it in your HTML page.
Tip: check CCS help for "PathToRoot". It will give you info how to use it serverside, but you can use similiar macro in HTML view like so:
<img alt="" src="{page:pathToRoot}Your_Dir/Your_Image.jpg">

Keep in mind linux servers are case sensitive. So if you develop using Windows, which is not case sensitive, a given image, etc. will work on your local setup regardless of the case (upper/lower/mixed) but must be exact case on the linux hosting server.

Ahhh, I think the [PathToRoot] maybe where I need to continue my search and thanks so much Lucious!!
I did check the case mismatch possibility, but thanks for the suggestion Rick.
I will keep plugging away.

Yahoo!! success with another method. Had continued issues with the publishing to remote server. I'm sure it is something I am overlooking, but decided to just try using my ftp app [filezilla], so I deleted all the previous files that I published to my remote server and used filezilla to transfer them again and viola - changed the db connect info in common.php and it all works.
I'll go back to the publish feature later to figure out what I was doing wrong.

If you are sure that the files were in correct places, then next time you will have such issue check if the files have correct access rights and group, as I guess your hosting is on some *nix server.

HI Lucius:
You are correct, it is a linux server. I will double check, but odd - because "publishing" should basically be doing the same thing that Filezilla did. I'll have to get it figured out because publishing after making changes would be easier than jumping into filezilla each time.
Thanks again for your advice.
