Muse: Resources

Uploading your Muse Creation to a Subdomain

Make a Sub Domain 

  • Log in to your BYU Domains account
  • Click on “Sub Domains”
  • Fill out the same for your Sub Domain, and press Create

Make an FTP

  • Go back to your Domains dashboard, and press FTP Accounts
  • Make a login name, and password, and then press Create FTP Account.

Upload via FTP on Muse

  • In Muse, go to File, then Upload to FTP Host
  • The FTP Server is yourdomain.com (do NOT include .yoursubdomain)
  • The user name is YourFTPloginName@YourSubDomain.YourDomain.com (you can find this user name in your FTP Accounts, on BYU Domains)
  • The password is the one you made for your FTP account
  • Press Next
  • The site URL is YourSubDomain.YourDomain.com (do NOT include www or http://)
  • The Folder on Server is the “Path” of your FTP account (you can find this in your FTP Accounts on BYU Domains)
  • When you try to finish, Muse will tell you that folder does not exist. Tell it to create the folder. Then it will say that folder does not point to your domain. Press ignore.

Doing Some Cool Techy Things

  • On your BYU Domains Dashboard, go to File Manager
  • Open public_html
  • Open YourSubDomain.YourDomain.com
  • Keep opening the folders until you open one that has tons of other folders in it (css, images, scripts, etc.)
  • Copy that long string of gibberish
    123
  • Go back to “Sub Domains” from your BYU Domains dashboard
  • Find the Document Root of your sub domain. Change it that long thing you just copied.

DONE! If all went well, your Muse site should be up. If it did not work, switch to WordPress. It’s better than Muse anyways. 😉
