Embarrassing! I only use a CMS these days

I have a site I built 10 years or so ago with DW. Pages are .htm files. I need to edit a couple of the pages. I would like to check them locally before uploading to the remote site.

I have chosen Chrome F12 as my DW primary browser. When I click into the .htm code with my cursor and tap F12 I get "The requested URL was not found on this server" error.

I'm on Windows 10 and Wampserver is up to date and turned on. I just can't remember how all this works. Assistance please.

Correct answer Nancy OShea

.htm/l files don't require a server unless you're doing something that requires advanced script processing or databases under the hood. Just opening the local file directly from your browser should suffice. From Chrome, go to File > Open > browse to file on hard drive...

I know. The end result will most likely be closer to 8 million - or even 5 million.

But it does higlight how important it is to critically evaluate such claims and rely on verified information from credible sources.

Returning to your initial reaction of "shaking my head in disbelief" at Trump's nomination, it's worth noting that many people, both in the USA and globally, are not surprised. Numerous stories, which ideally should have been verified by independent fact-checkers, have circulated on both sides of the political spectrum. Despite some world leaders and various groups taking steps to counter Trump's promises, there are also many who are celebrating. There is hope that we might finally see some world peace in the near future.

The testing server might not be defined in DW. If you don't have it defined you can always open the page in file explorer and open the page in your browser from there. But if this is a CMS site, you will need all of the site files and database files on your local computer with the wampserver running to test the site.

Are you wormking from a Defined Site within DW, or just opening .htm files?

Make sure you set up a site definition within DW. Without that first step, it will mess up, a lot.
