Root folder is inside site 'boostrap'...

[boydbartley]

I am getting a message when I try to save a new site With Dreamweaver CC 2017.

     The root folder you have chosen is onside the folder for site 'bootstrap'. This may  cause some operation, such as synchronization, to work incorrectly. Proceed anyway?

It is in C:\xampp\htdocs. I have no idea if this is effecting me or not. Can someone help?

Where is your root folder when you look in your C drives file structure?

[boydbartley]

C:\xampp\htdocs\[my site name]

Thanks Rob. I will continue. Just thought it strange

You could have sync issues. I never use sync, so I can't advise you on how to deal with those.

If you're using a testing server, your local site files ought to be inside C:/xampp/htdocs/yourSiteName/

This isn't necessarily a problem. It's perfectly fine for htdocs to be the root, and it's perfectly fine for a different website to have it's root below the root of another site.

This is true for both the development environment and the live web environment.

The important thing is that all the websites are at or below the public root of the web server, and htdocs is such a root.
