Do I need to move all the websites HTML pages to xampp/htdocs and use this as the new local site folder?

I'm not sure what SnakEyez was thinking. I would say, yes, move all your files innto the xampp/htdocs folder and reset your site definition in DW accordingly.

Rob it can be done that way. There are also a lot of users who try to keep it separate. They keep local files and then test in another location. The warning that is being received about a different folder is usually related to the paths. I explained this to another user here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4224748 . It doesn't have to be in the same folder because DW can test the pages from anywhere. Matter of opinion at that point. Personally I use one folder for both, but it can be done either way.

No, you can just define the testing server as the XAMPP/htdocs/site folder and use that for the testing server and DW will do the rest.

the new PHP pages need links to/from the existing HTML pages. DW warns that files may not be found if in a different folder. Do I just ignore this and ensure that all files are uploaded to same remote folder? Or do I need htdocs in remote folder as well?
