Preview in browser tries to access test server

I am building a site and want to preview in browser but
always get a message about accessing the test server. I only want
to view it on my hard drive. I'm sure I set something up wrong on
install but can someone help me figure out how to change the
settings? The message I'm getting is
http://localhost/Templates/main%20template.dwt.asp
in Safari.
I'd also like to preview in explorer but don't have it
installed on my machine. Do I have to purchase it just for
previewing?

if it's an ASP active server page, you need to set up a local
testing
server.

Preview in browser trying to connect to server?

Something has happened and now when I select preview in
browser it acts as if I would like to upload the file to the server
and i cannot preview the page. It connects to the server and begins
to upload? anyone have any idea what has happened?

> anyone have any idea what has
> happened?
Sounds like you have defined a testing server for this site
that is also
pointing to your REMOTE site. Do you have a TESTING server
defined as an
FTP server? Do you *need* a testing server defined (you
wouldn't if you are
only making static HTML pages)?

10.10.2 keeps trying to access disconnected server

Hi there, kids!
Something in my 10.10.2 setup insists on trying to access a server that no longer resides at a particular address. Access to the new address is all good, but I keep getting interrupted by messages about the old one being offline/disconnected/dead.
Please - how do I find out what application/applet/daemon is doing this, and how do I persuade it to stop?
I have no problem hitting the command line if that's the most effective path.
Thanks!

There are many possible causes for this issue, and it may be very hard to resolve without wiping your account clean of everything except documents as a last resort. Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Back up all data before making any changes.
If you get the alert in the login screen before you log in, stop here and ask for instructions.
Step 1
If you get the alert as soon as you log in, it's probably caused by one of your login items or by software that otherwise loads at startup or login. Ask if you need help identifying it. Known offenders are "1Password" and "Adobe Resource Synchronizer."
Step 2
If there's an icon representing the server in the sidebar of a Finder window, hold down the command key and drag it out.
Step 3
In the Finder, press the key combination command-K or select
          Go ▹ Go to Server...
from the menu bar. In the upper right corner of the window that opens is a Recent Servers popup menu represented by a clock icon. From that menu, select
          Clear Recent Servers…
and confirm. Test.
Step 4
Open the Printers & Scanners pane in System Preferences and delete any network devices you no longer use. If in doubt, delete them all and add back the ones you want.
Step 5
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing command-C:
~/Library/PDF Services
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return. A folder may open. If it does, move the contents to the Desktop, or to a new folder on the Desktop. Log out and log back in. Test. If there's no change, put the items you moved back where they were and continue.
Step 6
Open the folder
~/Library/Preferences
as in Step 5 and move the file named "loginwindow.plist" items in that folder to the Trash, if it exists (it may not.)
Log out and back in again, and test.
Step 7
Other possible causes are references in the iPhoto, iTunes, or iMovie library pointing to the server, bookmarks in the Preview application, and PDF files created by Adobe Acrobat with embedded scripts.
Try rebuilding the iPhoto library, if applicable.
Step 8
Resources such as images or sounds stored on the server may have been added to various applications. Examples would be pictures added to Contacts and custom sounds added to Mail. The range of possibilites here is practically infinite, so I can't be more specific. You might get a hint by launching the Console application and looking for error messages that appear at the same time as the alerts.
Step 9
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to start up. Start up in safe mode. Test. After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Step 10
Triple-click the line below to select it:
/System/Library/CoreServices/Directory Utility.app
Rght-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
          Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* The application Directory Utility will open.
In the Directory Utility window, select the Directory Editor tool in the toolbar. Select Mounts from the Viewing menu in the toolbar, and/Local/Default from the node menu, if not already selected. On the right is a list of names and values. By default, the list is empty. If it's not empty, post a screenshot of the window and stop here.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.
Step 11
Open the following file as you did in the last step:
/etc/auto_master
It will open in a TextEdit window. The contents should be exactly this:
# Automounter master map
+auto_master          # Use directory service
/net               -hosts          -nobrowse,hidefromfinder,nosuid
/home               auto_home     -nobrowse,hidefromfinder
/Network/Servers     -fstab
/-               -static
If there are any other lines in the window, post them. Otherwise, close the window.

Trying to access Lion server remote using multi-user access, but from a legacy Leopard system

Just purchased a mini server running Lion, and got screen sharing working fine from my legacy system (32-bit so Leopard only). However, I would like to run in multi-user mode, so someone can use the Lion system and another person can access their own account, from the older Leopard system, at the same time. Using multi-user rather than screen sharing. But Leopard does not have the option on the Finder/Share Screen command, the pop-up window to select screen sharing or new virtual session. So, is there a way still to run a new virtual session from a remote client running Leopard? Since the multi-user capability resides on the Lion server, it should be possible, but how, without the pop-up menu?

Restoring 'preview in browser' from test server

I have recently added and am learning to build a 'form' page (dynamic PHP page) to my site.
I have installed Apache and am using a localhost 'test server' on C/program files/xampp/htdocs
( I have been following tutotrials in The Missing Manuals series)
Everthing is going ok, but my question involves the following problem:
I used the 'preview in browser' function as always in my development. After setting up the PHP page and attempting to preview it, it established a new connection to the local server and it asked to 'put' the files to that test server which I did. Everything worked ok, but when I went back to work on regular HTML pages, and preview, it tries to use the test server.
The test server is in a different location (above), and obviously doesn't find the location of my site development. The rest of my site doesn't reside on the test server location (above), so when I try to preview it, I just get error messages.
I have several computers - when I go back to one that I didn't preview the PHP page in (even though I have copied the entire site with new PHP page), it previews like I want, in a regular browser.
Question:
Is there a way to tell the 'preview' function where to look, so it doesn't activate the test server and just loads the original HTML files like it used to?
Or do I just need to define/relocate both the test server and my site to the same location?
Thank you!!

Question:
Is there a way to tell the 'preview' function where to look, so it doesn't activate the test server and just loads the original HTML files like it used to?
If your site has a Testing Server defined, then all previews will be directed to the Testing Server, including those that may not require a Testing Server.
Or do I just need to define/relocate both the test server and my site to the same location?
That's usually the best way - altough it's not required. You just have to make sure that any files you need to make your preview work are also uploaded to the Testing Server.

Access Denied when trying to access shared folders on the server with administrative privileges

I have problem accessing shared folder on the server machine from Windows 7 machine even if I try to access it with administrative privileges (server Administrator account). I will try now to explain better my situation.
In my company, we have small network infrastructure with one main server machine (HP ProLiant server) with Windows Server 2012 R2 installed and couple of desktop machines. The network is administrated by me.
On Windows Server we have installed and setup DHCP, DNS, Remote Access and Routing, File and Storage and Active Directory services. Desktop machines are having Windows 8.1 Pro, Windows 8.1 or Windows 7 Home Premium installed on them. In Active
Directory I have created domain, User groups and Users for employees in my company and so far, I didn't added desktop machines to the domain.
Also, I've created one folder on the server which should contain different projects data for network users and I have set access permissions and security for this folder and shared it on the network (I've added couple of users to one user group and I
gave Full control to this group over this folder). When I try to access this folder from network, I've been asked for login credentials (normally), where I just type in one of users username and password who has been given access permissions to (who is member
of group with full control over the folder). From Windows 8.1 Pro and Windows 8.1 machines I can access and work on this folder without any problems.
The problem comes with Windows 7 machines. On Windows 7 machines (I have also tried this with Windows 7 Ultimate in VMWare) I can access server, I can see its shares, but as soon I try to access folder I've created for projects, I get Access Denied message
with request for User login credentials. Whichever user account I use (even servers main Administrator account) I keep getting this message over and over and I'm unable to access it at all.
I have also tried to access the server through VPN (from local or outside) but I'm getting the same error again. Also I've tried to add these Windows 7 machines to the domain and login with domain user but the result is the same. Turned off both firewalls
(on server and desktop machines, which I know is unnecessary, but lets try it), still same case. I've tried couple more things with registry editor on desktop machines which I found on different forums and websites but still no luck. And now I don't know
what else I can do.
Does anyone knows what's the problem here, have I set something wrong, have not set something I should?

Hi MeipoXu,
thanks for your response. I will first answer on your question.
Yes, the main issue is that we can see the folder when we access the server but we cannot access its contents from Windows 7 machines. I have tried on two machines, one with Windows 7 Home Premium version and the other one with Windows 7 Ultimate version
and the situation is the same.
As you recommended, I've checked Network Discovery and File and Printer Sharing and the situation is next: File and Printer Sharing is turned on all layers (Private, Public and Domain) while Network Discovery is off for all layers too. I don't know if this
is normal thing but Network Discovery cannot be turned on in Windows Server (I'm able to select Turn on Network Discovery and apply the changes, but when I get back to this settings page, I again see that it's turned off, so I assume this can't be changed
at all).
I also tried with icacls in command prompt and everything seems to be ok there regarding permissions. Share permissions are set to Full control to Everyone and Security permissions are set to Full control only for Administrators and the user group I've created
for employees in my company. The confirmation for this is that on Windows 8 machines you can access this folder without any problem and without getting any message connected with access permissions with any user account within this user group. This share is
created through File and Storage Services service in Server Manager panel.
And then something came up on my mind. I went in Server Manager to check shared folder settings in File and Storage Services and under Settings page I saw that "Encrypt data access" has been enabled (I enabled this option because I thought
I will get more security with this option). I asked my self what would happen if I disable it, tried it and now everything works ok on Windows 7 machines too. Now I assume that Windows 7 doesn't have this feature implemented or there are some
settings which needs to be set on Windows 7 machines to make this encryption thing work with Windows Server. So basically, I will let this feature off for now until I find out more about it and how to implement it to work with all operating systems.
I want to thank you once more for your kind help!

Help With Preview In Browser

Hello. I need some quick help please.
Every time I go to preview in browser, Dreamweaver asks "This
will update the file on the testing server. This might affect
others working on the file." I don't know what happened. Previously
I could go straight to the browser to view my page. But now, if I
hit yes (to continue) to preview in browser, the browser opens and
nothing is displayer. In fact, in the browser the address reads
http://ftp... Eventually it times out.
As of now, the only way to see any changes that I make is to
Put the page, which is annoying and time consuming. So, how do I
change Dreamweaver settings to just allow me to preview the page
and bypass the testing server stuff?
Thank you.

> And I have to have ftp selected as my access method
1. Are you using the real remote host as the Testing Server?
2. Do you need to use a testing server for the survey script?
Or is it a
self-contained third-party script?
3. probably cause of problem- you have entered ftp: into the
"url prefix"
line of the testing server information.
put the url address to the root level of the testing server-
in other words
http://localhost/sitefolder/
if you install a local testing server
http://www.example.com/ if using
the real server as the testing server.
AND- if using the real server for the testing server, ENABLE
using temp
files for preview in browser, otherwise you will overwrite
the current
remote file with the page you have your fingers in!.
best- IF you do need a testing server, install one on your
computer.

Cannot enter URL or use advanced tab when creating a (local) testing server

Hi,
I have created a site in Dreamweaver and I have tried creating a testing server. However everytime I try to create a test server Dreamweaver does not allow me to enter the Web URL in the server window. I knnow its local (localhost) but it seems it should still need a URL - http://localhost/...
It allows me put in the name of the server the connection type - Local/Network and allows me to browse to the server folder and select it but does not allow me to put any data in to Web URL: field.
Additionally, it does not allow me to select the Advanced tab to specify my Server Model - PHP MySQL.
When I click save with these settings I can see all the necessary files and folders in the Dreameaver Testing Server window but when I go to create a database connection I get an error saying "The URL prefix http:// for this site's testing server could not be resolved" - on hitting the Select button to select the database.
I am running WAMP (in Windows 7) and I can see the database in phpMyAdmin. I know the username and password are correct.
Any help would be appreciated - Thanks

Does this help?

Mac Test Server set up issues

first day notes:
I've spent the last two days transitioning into Dreamweaver and setting up my test server MySQL PHP and Apache by following online help, tutorials and recommendations. I've Terminaled MAMPed, and installed more crap than I wanted to fill my hard drive with. I've done everything I can think of just so I can see what the site I'm working on will look like in reality (using Server Side Includes) before posting as I'm still in the proposal stages of this project.
All files are relative to the document and not root
preview using temporary file is checked
Testing Server folder is: MacintoshHD:Library:WebServer:Documents:sitename
Testing Server URL Prefix is: http://127.0.0.1/sitename.com/
FF and Safari give me:
Not Found
The requested URL /MarcJanowitz.com/TMPV8Y2WAUZU.shtml was not found on this server.
I'm used to iWeb but it clearly doesn't have the functionality I need, which is why I'm trying to graduate. I can't use DW if I can't see what i'm creating. I can't rely on faith when I don't have the experience with this program to have the faith.
I've been all over google and the forums since 5pm yesterday (short nap in the middle) and it looks like i'm doing everything I'm told.
I'm afraid I did something in terminal I shouldn't have or something slightly wrong in my installation/implementation of MySQL PHP and Apache. Or that i'm misunderstanding what I'm supposed to be putting in for "Testing Server URL Prefix" or something. I need to find out asap whether this is a lost cause or fixable so I know whether to cut my losses.
the next day i tried:
apache is set to run by setting my web sharing on
i changed the line that said 127.0.0.1 in my config.inc.php. back to localhost so i could try
Try: http://localhost/sitename.com
I'd switched because i was getting "Re: #2002 - The server is not responding (or the local MySQL server's socket is not correctly configured)" and I found these:
MySQL :: Re: #2002 - The server is not responding (or the local MySQL server's socket is not correctly configured)
MySQL :: <<< THE SOLUTION - SOLUTION SUMMARY >>> <<< READ THIS FIRST >>>
now that i look at those pages again, perhaps just switching 127.0.0.1 back to local host in both places isn't enough
i've sort of lost track of the changes i've made now
I switched the line in manage sites to lowercase to match the folder
PHP and MySQL were running last night before i shut down. How do I make sure they're running now that i've started up again?
as of now, still getting "not found"
I know there are similar topics but i'm certain i've gotten myself in a unique enough situation that it is worth a new discussion because i can't find one close enough to what i've done
thanks!

3)don't know where you mean when you say:
simply declare those ports in the call... i.e. localhost:8889 for mysql and to see the website localhost:8888
I explained this before. If you use the default MAMP ports, you need to use http://localhost:8888/ instead of http://locahost/ in the URL prefix of the Testing server definition. Also, when creating a MySQL connection, use localhost:8889 instead of localhost in the Server field.
If you have stopped the preinstalled version of Apache in System Preferences, as well as stopping the version of MySQL that you installed from a dmg, you can change the ports in MAMP. See the following screenshot, which is taken from the tutorial on setting up a PHP development environment:
The screenshot shows the default MAMP ports. If you click the "Set to default Apache and MySQL ports" button, those values will change to 80 and 3306 respectively. If you do that, and you get a green light from both MySQL and Apache, you can use http://localhost/ and localhost in the testing server and MySQL connection dialog boxes.
If you still get errors when trying to test a page in Dreamweaver, please give precise details of the values you have entered in the Testing server folder and URL prefix fields of the Testing Server section of the Site Definition dialog box.

Accessing Sql Server from AS400 Java program

Hi everybody,
I am trying to access Sql Server from an AS400 Java program. I have tried various Sql Server JDBC drivers including the Microsoft one but no luck yet. When i try to compile my Java program (with driver file in the classpath) it gives some errors on the driver jar file and also it throws out lots of unreadable text characters. This gave me a feeling that probably its a character coding issue with the jar file, so i tried ftp the file in binary mode as well as copying through the Operations Navigator. But still compilation is giving the same kind of errors.
Do I need to have some special JDBC Drivers compiled for AS400 specifically. My understanding was that Java is platform independent so any JDBC Type 4 driver will work.
We are running Java 1.3 on the AS400. Any help on this issue would be great.
Thanks
Inder

Thanks for the help. I am writing a Java program after a long time that's why was making that mistake. Now the program gets compiled correctly but on running the program i am getting the following error message:
java 001-0070: Exception JVAB544 not expected
/myjava/test/msbase.jar: 001-0050 Syntax error on Line 1: token ')' not expected
/myjava/test/msutil.jar: 001-0050 Syntax error on Line 1: token ')' not expected
/myjava/test/mssqlserver.jar: 001-0050 Syntax error on Line 1: token ')' not expected
I have no idea what is this error about. Though the same driver files don't give any error when running on a Windows machine.
Thanks

Unable to access the server with its domain name.

Hi ,
I have configured the site VPN between to cisco ASA and everything is working fine,but if i access the server in url with ip address http://10.XX.XX.XX:123 i am able to connect the server but if i m trying with server name i.e DNS name it doesnt work for eg : http://abcdef:123 .
what could be the issue kindly let me know

The issue is likely dns. Check the dns settings on the device you're trying to access the server's url with. Can you succerssfully do an nslookup on the server's domain name? You'll need the machine to have at least one dns server defined in its dns settings that can resolve the web server's domain name to an ip address. Hope that points you in the right direction.

Problem in accessing application server file using open dataset

Hi All,
I am trying to access application server file using open dataset command, its working fine for normal path which imention. But when i am giving path of XI server file, its not working. How to access XI server file using open dataset. Please let me know.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Vishal

Hi Vishal,
You need to verify if the location where you are trying to save the file is in the same server of SAP. In case that the location is in other server you need to map that directy into the same server of SAP.
You need to point always to a location in the same server of SAP, in order that the open dataset could work.

Reddy,
you see at least something. What about a blank screen? Or do you see the client trying to access the server without response, in which case you could have a proxy problem.
