Testing a local site in a browser

Hello,
I've defined a local site in dreamweaver CS3. I see correctly
my html pages in the design view of DW, it finds all the local
links, applys CSS styles (from an external style sheets that is on
the same folder of the hml file).
The problem comes when I want to test it with browsers
(Firefox and IE7) [F12], links and style sheets doesn't work any
more. I don't know what I can do to see my local site and my remote
site identically. Maybe I have to modify something in the 'hosts'
file of my computer?
Many thanks for any help.

You are being confused by a) not understanding root relative
vs document
relative links, and b) not understanding how DW previews
files.
If I have a document with a link to an image that looks like
this -
<img src="/images/foo.gif"...
That's what's called a root relative link.
If I preview that document in DW, then the browser gets the
document, sees
the leading "/" and reads that as the root of the hard drive,
since the
browser has no idea where the root of the site is. Thus, the
image is
broken in the preview.
If I have temp files enabled, then DW will secretly convert
the file being
previewed into a temporary file, and hand that to the
browser. This temp
file has had all root relative links converted to document
relative links
(as you will see by looking at the code in the browser), and
has had all
include files actually embedded in the page, and has had all
external CSS
and js markup embedded in the page. In other words, DW has
made the
document into a stand-alone page.
If you do not have temp files enabled, all of these links
would be broken on
preview.
Now - if you are using root relative links, AND you have temp
files enabled,
AND you click away from the previewed document, then all of
your links will
be broken, since DW has not made that linked file into a temp
file. This is
what you are seeing.
So - if you want to click away on preview, then you must use
document
relative links for the site -
<img src="../images/foo.gif"... (for example)
These will still work on preview since the browser knows how
to determine
the current file's location and how to follow that path.

Cannot browse to local site with custom port - Firefox removes the port

For local development on our Macs we use MAMP Pro, which uses the port 8888 for sites.
Since upgrading to Firefox 14, if we enter the URL of a local site into Firefox, it removes the custom port we've added and returns a 403 error. Chrome and Safari work without issue as they don't delete the port.
For example, if I browse to http://my.test.site.localhost:8888
which up until version 14 worked fine, Firefox removes the :8888 and instead tries to load http://my.test.site.localhost, which fails.
If I browse direct to an inner page like http://my.test.site.localhost:8888/page1 it works and the port stays. But it won't work to the root URL.
This is causing major issues for us. It's not a banned port - why is Firefox ignoring the port we enter?

Yep. Same issue. The port and the trailing slash are removed.
Have cleared caches, dumped cookies, and deleted and fresh installed Firefox. Can't seem to solve it.

Installing a local testing server - download sites

This is my second attempt at setting up a local testing environment. The first time it seemed to go OK, there were just some steps I had to take that just didn't seem right though, which made me wonder if I had the correct installation files, correct set up, etc. At that time I had downloaded and installed the WAMP package.
So, I'm fairly confident it's WAMP that I need. I just want to make sure I have the correct install files. Could someone point me to the actual download sites for these things - there are so many options available with an internet search, I can never be sure if I'm getting the latest versions. Would someone mind posting the main sites for the following?
1. Apache
2. WAMP
3. MySQL
4. PHP
I'm also wanting these sites to ensure I'm getting accurate info for set up and usage, and not some half-baked you tube tutorial video or blog posts.
Thank you community!!

I use Xampp and it doesn't seem to have the Skype issues and it makes setting up your local test environment about as easy as it can be. Just install it and go. Then make sure you locate any of your local sites in the "htdocs" folder and you are ready to go. You can also tweak things to use a different folder for your web root, but I'm usually happy to just leave it as is.

When using Live View, site looks great, browser testing goes crazy

I am creating a new website (and I am really unexperienced with Dreamwaver CS5). But when I check my site using "Live View" everything looks great, the way it is supposed to. Then when I go to test it in my browswer (Primary browser is Chrome) it goes crazy: I at first noticed that I had saved one copy as an .asp but then resaved it to .xhtml I did delete the first line of code already that the .asp file created as it kept giving me an error on line 1.
Then I tried to do a spry drop-down menu bar, which I have deleted since I thought I was doing something wrong with that and I should just stick to what I half-way know.
If I were to preview the template page it gives me this error:
This page contains the following errors:
error on line 150 at column 76: error parsing attribute name
Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.
Here is line 150:
    if (a[i].indexOf("#")!=0){ d.MM_p[j]=new Image; d.MM_p[j++].src=a[i];}}
If I were to test the index.xhtml page in the browser, it ignores most images (all but one), and the first nav-bar (an editable region) appears to the left instead of under the header. The layout is totally ignored and everything is on the left-hand side of the screen instead of in a two column layout.
I am not testing this on a server just off of my computer.
I am assuming that the error has something to do with the .asp file I first did and when I resaved it, since I don't know what I would be looking for, is still in there screwing it up.
Here is the code from the template page:

    <p>Be aware that the CSS for these layouts is heavily commented. If you do most of your work in Design view, have a peek at the code to get tips on working with the CSS for the fixed layouts. You can remove these comments before you launch your site. To learn more about the techniques used in these CSS Layouts, read this article at Adobe's Developer Center - <a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/adc_css_layouts">http://www.adobe.com/go/adc_css_layouts</a>.</p>
    <h2>Clearing Method</h2>
    <p>Because all the columns are floated, this layout uses a clear:both declaration in the .footer rule. This clearing technique forces the .container to understand where the columns end in order to show any borders or background colors you place on the .container. If your design requires you to remove the .footer from the .container, you'll need to use a different clearing method. The most reliable will be to add a <br class="clearfloat" /> or <div class="clearfloat"></div> after your final floated column (but before the .container closes). This will have the same clearing effect.</p>
    <h3>Logo Replacement</h3>
    <p>An image placeholder was used in this layout in the .header where you'll likely want to place a logo. It is recommended that you remove the placeholder and replace it with your own linked logo. </p>
    <p><span style="font-size: 18px; color: #C00; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Logo Replacement</span></p>
    <p> Be aware that if you use the Property inspector to navigate to your logo image using the SRC field (instead of removing and replacing the placeholder), you should remove the inline background and display properties. These inline styles are only used to make the logo placeholder show up in browsers for demonstration purposes. </p>
    <p>To remove the inline styles, make sure your CSS Styles panel is set to Current. Select the image, and in the Properties pane of the CSS Styles panel, right click and delete the display and background properties. (Of course, you can always go directly into the code and delete the inline styles from the image or placeholder there.)</p>
    <h4>Backgrounds</h4>
    <p>By nature, the background color on any div will only show for the length of the content. This means if you're using a background color or border to create the look of a side column, it won't extend all the way to the footer but will stop when the content ends. If the .content div will always contain more content, you can place a border on the .content div to divide it from the column.</p>

I had saved one copy as an .asp but then resaved it to .xhtml
I'm assuming this is a static web site. Rename (F2) all your pages with .html or .htm extension.
.xhtml is not a valid extension.

Renamed Macintosh HD now Dreamweaver can't preview local files in Web Browser even though I have redefined local sites

I've renamed my Macintosh HD on my Macbook something else-and
then went in and redefined all the local sites in Dreamweaver CS3
with the new name. Dreamweaver locates all the local files and
allows me to edit and work on them-but then when I save and preview
it can't locate the files. I've changed the name of my hard drive
back to Macintosh HD and still the same problem. I'm completely
stuck and this is frustrating the hell out of me-what do I
do?

If it is during the preview, check the test server
information in the site settings.

When i drag and drop an image on my site. it gives the following error. "Unable to access local files due to browser security settings. To overcome this, follo"

I am using the firefox version 17 and when i drag and drop an image on my website. It gives me the following error.
Unable to access local files due to browser security settings. To overcome this, follow these steps: (1) Enter "about:config" in the URL field; (2) Right click and select New->Boolean; (3) Enter "signed.applets.codebase_principal_support" (without the quotes) as a new preference name; (4) Click OK and try loading the file again. Or go to the homepage for a link to the tutorial on how to do it.
I have completed the above steps and it is still showing the same error message. Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks kumars ,
I have a specific drag and drop area on our website. This works fine for all earlier releases of Firefox after these security settings
"(1) Enter "about:config" in the URL field; (2) Right click and select New->Boolean; (3) Enter "signed.applets.codebase_principal_support" (without the quotes) as a new preference name; (4) Click OK and try loading the file again."
Bust these settings not work for me in Firefox 17.
Yes the drag and drop functionality is java script based and i am not using any script blocker addons.

Can't see my local site on ios device

Hi there!
Edge inspect is installed, Chrome is running, iMac and iPhone are connected with each other - but I can't see the local site I opened on my Mac in the iPhone screen.
I opened the the website I am currently working on with chrome on my Mac and now it should appear on my iPhone screen, too. Shouldn't it? Other regular www-tabs are shown.
What am I missing?
Thanks,
bartl

Hi bartl,
Edge Inspect needs the site to be served through a web server for a number of reasons, but primarily because that allows an external computer to access the files in a way that doesn't compromise machine security. To view local pages you can set up a web server like MAMP/WAMP or Web Sharing on iOS, so you don't need upload your files to a web server elsewhere. Inspect understands localhost and 1270.0.1 URLs and the connected devices will translate those so you don't need to set up a virtual host name.
You're right, Edge Inspect doesn't provide web hosting as a feature, and it's not intended to. The primary features of Edge Inspect are:
synchronous browsing - so if you have multiple devices connected you don't need to browse/refresh on each individually
connection management - so that devices connect quickly and easily and (attempt to) remain connected to your computer
screenshots - take individual or multiple screenshots simultaneously with a single click and without needing to root the device
remote inspection - inspect the DOM of the remote device on your computer via weinre
Hope this helps,
Mark

Adding a local site to Dreamweaver CC that is through a mapped network drive breaks ALL connections

I am using Dreamweaver CC on Windows 8 on a machine that is hooked up to a local network. My site files are stored on another drive on that network and I am mapped to that drive. I have always been able to open in individual file from that drive in Dreamweaver. But I noticed that with one site I am working on, Dreamweaver would hang trying to make minor revisions to the PHP code. It was suggested to me to add the whole folder as a local site in Dreamweaver, so I did. At first I thought it was moving along much better -- no hanging while I was typing code. Then suddenly I realized I could not save the files. I was no longer connected to the drive I was working on. Even outside of Dreamweaver, I was unable to access the drive. I thought it was a network issue. I rebooted the computer and opened a Windows Explorer folder and was able to access the drive. Then I opened Dreamweaver again and the connection was lost.
To test my theory, I rebooted again, accessed the drive, waited a little while, accessed the drive, then opened Dreamweaver and it was lost. I tried this several times, each with the same result.
Then I went into Dreamweaver, removed the site from Dreamweaver and rebooted. I accessed the drive, opened Dreamweaver, and voila... I could still access the drive. So I tried adding the site back to Dreamweaver and I cannot access the drive after opening Dreamweaver again.
Without having the site in Dreamweaver, the files/Dreamweaver hangs EVERY TIME I TYPE CODE. Adding a site on a mapped local network drive BREAKS MY CONNECTION and disables my ability to work on the files. Is there a reason for this and more importantly, is there a fix? It seems like a very specific but illogical problem.
My next step is to find and install my old Homesite 4.5.
Thanks in advance for any useful advice!

I surely did not knowing change anything within the software!
I just tried adding another site. It seems like it is setting it up and reading the files but then at the end (apparently just as the connection breaks), it gives me these errors:
Cannot create [SITE NAME].
and
The local root folder, [FOLDER NAME], does not exist. Please select a new local root folder by clicking the Manage Sites button.
(I changed the out the actual site name and folder name above.)
I believe these were the same errors I got with the other site. At the time I was pushing a deadline and was too frantic to write it down.
Not that I think it has any relevance, but both sites are Wordpress sites.
Maybe what I should try next is mapping a different drive and trying to set up a site from there?
For that error you want you can try mapping it but it seems your sites root is just not defined... what DW is telling you is it could not find the specified folder when its trying to establish the new site. You might want to make sure your folder is there and all the spelling is correct, when making sure go your your Site Manager and make sure your root site is in your network drive.

Remote and Local Site Sync Problems

I have a customer who is using Dreamweaver CS4 on Mac OS X. Dreamweaver is setup to have a local site as our development server(win 2k3) and the remote site as our live web server(win 2k3). The folder structure on both the development and live web server is the same. When you view the path in the manage site window of dreamweaver it shows both remote and local site listed as /Volumes/www/Data. When dreamweaver connects to both of these to sync the files nothing happens since it sees them as the same place.
I have looked in the /Volumes folder on the customers computer and two listings appear for the servers www and www-1. This is not what dreamweaver shows and if you repoint the link to the www-1 folder it just changes back to www.
I have tried to create alias' and symbolic links to distinguish one folder from the other however nothing I seem to change has any effect.
If you use finder on the machine it can distinguish between the two folders I just need to figure out how to make dreamweaver do the same.
Any assistance on this would be greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately no I do not have a solution. I was not able to find out at the time and the problem went away with the migration to a content management system for our web server. Also the Develpment team changed hands and the new people all use windows machines.
Good Luck trying to find a solution.

Using environment variable in local site folder filespec

Configuration: Dreamweaver CC 2014.1; Windows 7
I have quite a few sites defined in Dreamweaver and would like to define the folder locations using environment variables so thst if I decide to reorganize my disk (again) I can just redefine the variable instead of having to modify each of the site definitions. For example, instead of W:\dw\site\, I would like to specify %dw_root%\dw\site\ (where dw_root is defined as "W:"
Attempting to save a configuration with this filespec fails with the error: The local site folder path must be absolute.
I copied the path from the DW configuration dialog box and pasted it into a DOS window as the filespec of a DIR command to confirm the syntax was valid.
Does anyone know if there is a way to make this work?
Thanks.

Very unlikely. DW won't tolerate special characters (%&*~).

Dreamweaver local site root no longer recognized after Leopard installation

Hi, After installing Leopard, my Dreamweaver CS3 local site root is no longer available, although files and folders still exist in it. Any suggestions? Thanks!

You can reconnect the local root folder to the site from within Dreamweaver.

I'd suggest you check NIC settings and AD configuration.
Hope it is helpful.

DW CS6 Unable to Find .cgi Files in any Local Site

Hi
I noticed the other day while searching across local websites for particular keywords in DW CS6 that the Find operation could not find them in any .cgi files in any local sites even though the keywords do exist in the .cgi files. I made sure that the Find had the entire sites as the target for searching. It seems odd that when DW CS6 can open .cgi files its Find cannot find keywords in them.
Have other users experiened the same problem? Let me know.
Best,
Ead

How to setup new site in dreamweaver if not working with Local Site Folder?

Dear All,
I am working with a website design (wordpress) project with a group of people, since we are working together on the same design, our developing site is not located in the local folder but on remote server, but I can't setup the website in DW if the developing site is not located locally.
Is there any way to do the development on remote server with DW, and what will be the site setup setting for it?
thanks for any reply.

Sharing a "Local" site is a recipe for disaster vis-a-vis file versioning. The best way to avoid these problems is to have three locations defined:
1. A local site (truly local to your computer, although it can be on a network, shared drive).
2. A staging site (this would be the intermediate holding site for partially finished work.
3. A production site (this would be where the final versions of files are pushed).
Enable DW's Checkin/Checkout facility. Each of you would checkout files from the staging server, and when finished editing, checkin those same files to the staging server. Thus, you are not sharing a local site - you are sharing a remote file repository, which is your gold standard source for version protected files.
Make sense?
