DW CS3 Preview in Browser file on...

I'm working on a file stored on a Network Volume on a Mac
(using DW CS3)



When I Preview in Browser I get this error in the Browser
window:



''File not found

Firefox can't find the file at /Mac Mini
HD/Users/pat/Sites/CT/index.html.''



I get the same error more or less in Safari.



The correct path should be Volumes/pat/Sites/CT/index.html.



Any ideas how to fix this?



Thanks, PatDW CS3 Preview in Browser file on...
Please go to SITES | Manage Sites..., select the site name,
and click on

Edit. Click on the Advanced tab at the top. Tell me the
following -



Under LOCAL INFO

----------------------------

The contents of ''Local root folder:''

The contents of ''Http:''



Under TESTING SERVER

----------------------------

The contents of ''Server model:''

The contents of ''Access:''

The contents of ''Testing server folder:''

The contents of ''URL prefix:''



(You may not see these last 3 items if you have ''None'' in the
first)

Hi Murray,



Thanks for your reply - you put me on the right track.



In my Local root folder I had: ''pat:Sites:CT:''



I needed to put ''Volumes:'' in THREE places in the Sites
Manager.



Local Info Tab

1. ''Local root folder'' -%26gt; ''Volumes:pat:Sites:CT:''

2. ''Default Images Folder'' -%26gt;
''Volumes:pat:Sites:CT:images:''



Site Map Layout Tab

3. ''Volumes:pat:Sites:CT:index.html''



That's fixed it!



Pat




Good luck, Pat.

%26gt; Hi Murray,

%26gt;

%26gt;

%26gt;

%26gt;

%26gt;

%26gt; I don't have anything under Testing Server.

%26gt;

%26gt; The issue seems to be that DW is trying to find the site
in my local

%26gt; Users:pat:sites folder instead of on the network volume.
On both the local

%26gt; drive and the mounted volume the ''sites'' folder's
container folder is

%26gt; called

%26gt; ''pat''

%26gt;

%26gt; Thanks for taking the time to reply,

%26gt;
