having an issues with a site definition,  Error I'm getting is ... dynamically related files could not be resolved because of site defintion in not correct for this server,   This is also giving me a 404 error when using the live preview,   I can preview the website site if I type localhost/rootdirectory/ in the browser.

Does Dreamweaver expect a server (like PHP) to be running?

Firstly, turn offf the live preview feature in preferences > realtime preview - by selecting default to static browser preview. Then check your settings in site setup are correct, you should have a testing server setup with the correct local folder path and URL like http://localhost/rootdirectory.

If you're still having problems send a screenshot of your testing server set up in your site definition.

I selected the default to static browser.  Here are my screen shots.

Is your local testing server properly defined in DW?  Site > Manage Sites...

In my example below, my site folder resides in Wamp server's default web folder which is www.  Xampp and Mamp use htdocs folder instead.  See screenshots.
