Managing Sites
There are two types of sites in SiteBuilder:
Trial sites are sites created by unregistered SiteBuilder users. These sites cannot be
published on the Internet and have a limited lifetime period. When the lifetime period
expires, trial sites are removed from SiteBuilder.
Regular sites are sites created by a registered SiteBuilder user. These sites can be published
on the Internet and do not have a lifetime period.
You can do the following operations on sites:
Add a new site (see page
Publish a site (see page
Edit site parameters (see page
Assign a site to your account (see page
Remove a site (see page

Configuring Publishing Settings
In order for the published sites to work properly, the location you specify for publishing a site
should be checked for SiteBuilder consistency. During this check, the system verifies whether
the specified publishing parameters are valid and the publishing location meets all the
requirements. To launch this check, click Verify Location on the Publishing Settings tab. After
completing the verification, the publishing location is given one of the following statuses:
Error. This status is assigned due to the following reasons:
Some of the host parameters (IP, DNS, login and password) are invalid
The specified site URL is invalid
Static only. This status is assigned if the server you are trying to publish your site to
supports only static pages publishing. If the site does not contain any dynamic pages (i.e.
SiteBuilder modules), the site content is automatically converted into statics and the site is
published.
If the site contains modules, publication fails. In this case you can complete static
publication, if you delete all the dynamic pages from your site. The reasons why a
publishing server may not support dynamic content publishing are the following:
ASP.NET 2.0 software is not installed on the server or is configured incorrectly
ASP.NET version is earlier than 2.0.50727
The working directory must be mapped on the IIS server as web application
ASP.NET account has not a read\write\delete permission for the App_Data folder
ASP.NET account has not read\write permission for the sitebuilder.mdb file
OLE DB Provider is not installed on the server
Dynamic. This status is assigned if the publishing location meets all the requirements and is
ready for publishing.
¾ To configure the publishing settings:
1 Click the Publishing Settings tab.
