What is SITE file?
The file in the SITE format belongs to the Web Files category. The creator of this file is Adobe Systems. In addition to this file, the Web Files category includes 303 related files. GoLive Website Project Format appears on 2 operating systems as a functional file. These systems consist of Mac OS, Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. It is recommended to use Adobe GoLive to handle this file. This is a program created by Adobe Systems Incorporated. There are also 1 alternative programs to handle the SITE file.
How to open SITE file?
The most common problem when using GoLive Website Project Format is that a specific SITE is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that SITE files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SITE file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Adobe GoLive
The first step is to check if the computer has the Adobe GoLive program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Adobe GoLive in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file SITE with Adobe GoLive. Below you will find a list of applications that support SITE files.
Programs to open SITE file
Remember to download programs supporting SITE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Adobe GoLive with SITE files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SITE file still does not use the Adobe GoLive program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the SITE file with the Adobe GoLive program.
Step 3. Update Adobe GoLive to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Adobe GoLive program with the GoLive Website Project Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Adobe Systems Incorporated page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SITE file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The SITE file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to SITE files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SITE or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected SITE files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the SITE files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SITE file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Adobe Systems help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file SITE except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the SITE file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the SITE file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SITE file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SITE file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
