Question
can't view php when I hit F12 in dreamweaver
I am trying to create a new site in DW 8 to view PHP pages.
When I try to view files that are located in the root folder
G:/xampp/htdocs/ I don't have a problem, but when I try to a site
that is located in a subfolder my computer treats it as if I were
trying to download a file. Now I also have the Rapid PHP text
editor on my machine. When I try to view the same files in Rapid
PHP I don't have a problem. So somehow I am not setting up the site
correctly.
My folder is located at:
G:/xampp/htdocs/1purpose_bethel/
I set the local root folder to the above location
I am set up so that all files work from the root folder
My http address is: http://127.0.0.1/1purpose_bethel/
My testing server folder is: G:\xampp\htdocs\1purpose_bethel\
the URL is: http://localhost/1purpose_bethel/
This should be correct, but for some reason I can't view a file. When I try to, I get a download popup window, that asks me if I want to open the file, or download it. I choose open and the computer can't open the file. It just cycles and the popup open window appears again.
I know that this is a dreamweaver problem because I can view the same file in Rapid PHP.
Can you advise?
