    Default Contribute not dropping old URL

    Hey all,

    I am having an issue with Contribute CS3 that i have been unable to solve.

    It should be a simple fix but in this case it does not seem to be.

    I have a website that used to sit on a certain URL, let's say
    [url]www.developmentserver.ie/mycustomer[/url].

    I had contribute pointing to this site in order to test it's operation with
    the new website.

    Now the website is live and has been moved to its new location at
    [url]www.mycustomer.com[/url].

    However when i remove the old connection from the 'My Connections' panel and
    then add it with the new credentials Contribute points it to the original url
    of [url]www.developmentserver.ie/mycustomer[/url]. At no point during the configuration of
    the new connection did i enter that URL.

    Please note that i have completely removed the original website from the My
    Connections panel and have even tried shutting down and restarting both the
    application and my computer itself.

    What happens is that when i click on my homepage connection that should hold
    the correct ftp info i get taken to the original development server even though
    it has no connection details for this version of the website anymore and even
    if i wanted to the 'edit' button is greyed out in favour of the 'connect'
    button.

    When i type the correct url directly into the URL bar i do get taken to the
    correct website and i am able to edit it.

    I need for the homepage link to point to the correct URL.

    I have tried amending the registry entry but the information contained there
    is correct and it does point to the correct site.

    If anyone could help me with this i'd be grateful.

    Thanks.

    I think the thing you should check is the homepage defined in your role.

    1. in the main menu go to >Edit>Administer websites
    2. go to Users and Roles
    3. pick your role and click 'Edit Role Settings'
    4. in this screen find 'Home page for users in this role' and chage that to
    the proper url

    ThinkInk,

    That's great. Your suggestion has resolved my issue. I am still getting to
    grips with many of Contributes features and at least this is one thing i can
    stroke from my to-to list.

    Thanks for your support.

    Regards,

    Gareth
