HTTP 404 Dreamweaver CS3


Question

I keep getting a HTTP 404 when trying to view my site live in Dreamweaver CS3. I have it connected via SFTP, and I can use the get command on everything. I'm confused as to why I'm having trouble when Dreamweaver CS5 does it perfectly without errors. I exported the site via Dreamweaver CS5 to Dreamweaver CS3 to see if that would make a difference and it actually leaves stuff out like the remote/test server, etc. Putting that server information in again after importing the site still gives me an HTTP 404.

I setup my WordPress install for multiple blogs so I tried switching the URLs to http://sionic.ath.cx/ to see if it would work that way, and it doesn't! I was thinking it was because my website's WordPress install was connected via SFTP but my blog I'm trying to work on is http://sionic.ath.cx/test/ and that it would have trouble previewing the pages when I'm connected to the WordPress install and not the individual blog directory (doesn't exist, it's just one install linked to a database designed to hold multiple blogs data).

Either I give it http://sionic.ath.cx/ or http://sionic.ath.cx/testing/, it will give me some HTTP 404 error about an index(several code letters).php not on the server or the site isn't executing PHP, which my site is executing PHP obviously. :(

Here is what I get in Dreamweaver CS3 and CS5.

I feel as if Dreamweaver CS3 just doesn't understand the linking structure of this website. As of today, Dreamweaver only errors out when I include /testing in the links, but sionic.ath.cx works and it shows my website successfully. How can I make Dreamweaver CS3 understand that /testing doesn't really exist as a directory but is my testing blog I want to change. :s I don't know how to futher explain this.

It's for school... I can't tell them to switch. :p What kind of answer is that...

So they want you to make a site in dreamweaver? A site that you can upload to that domain?

If that's the case... why do you have to view it in dreamweaver? make it in dreamweaver... upload it... and view it in a web browser?

If that's not the case... then it's a problem with your schools network settings and/or dreamweavers network settings....
