Specify alternative website addresses

If Contribute users visit a website using a different host name, directory path, or port number, you must configure Contribute to recognize these alternative web addresses and associate them with the appropriate website connection.

Note: For more information about alternative web addresses, see Alternative website addresses.

If you don’t configure Contribute to recognize alternative web addresses, users might have problems editing or publishing web pages if they connect to a website that isn’t defined in Contribute.

You need to configure Contribute to recognize the alternative web addresses that users need to access, not all possible alternative web addresses.

  1. Select Edit > Administer Websites (Windows) or Contribute > Administer Websites (Mac OS), and select the website you want to administer from the submenu.

  2. If prompted, enter the Administrator password, and click OK.

    Assigning an administrator to a site and assigning a password for the administrative account are optional. For more information, see Become an administrator of an existing Contribute website.

    The Administer Website dialog box appears.

  3. Select the Web Server category on the left side of the dialog box, and click the Web Address tab.
