Note: If you are starting a new site, before opening Dreamweaver, you should create a folder for the site's data. This folder is called the Local Root Folder. If you have redirected My Documents, you should not create your Local Root Folder in the My Documents folder. Instead, create the folder in your Local Documents folder; or, create the folder on the C drive. Keep the foldername short. Don't use any special characters in the name as well. Examples, use your county name or an abbreviation of the site's full name.

Note: If you're setting up a new site, you need two things. First, a College of Ag Science AG account. Second, this AG account must be given permissions to access the correct folder on the College webserver. This folder is called the Host Directory and is mentioned below in step 9. If you are unsure what to enter in Step 9, contact ICT via the Help Desk Submission Form. In the Problem Details field, enter "Website request" and then include the link to the site itself.
