I did a clean install of both XAMPP and MAMP. Now I am no longer able to preview my files in either one of the two environments.
The XAMPP version I installed yesterday was 7.1.6 but it turns out there is a more recent version 7.1.7, which is the one I installed today.
Both local servers work fine. If I enter http://localhost in a separate browser when either one of them is running I get the desired result. So I guess the problem really is either with Komodo 10 or with me…
How can I send you the 2 project files? I don’t see an option for that in the browser.
You’re able to preview both XAMPP and MAMP through browser preview if you manually enter the url right? So it’s just the mapping that’s broken?
I believe you should be able to zip up the project files and drag the zip onto the comment area. If not please just upload it to dropbox, google drive or similar.
Nothing really stands out as wrong in that project file, except maybe the live folder. I kinda doubt it’s related, but it’s worth a shot.
Try removing the live folder from your project and instead changing your project root to the htdocs folder (right click project > Preferences).
In addition, could you show a screenshot of your mapping preferences as well as of the browser preview popup that shows when you trigger it on a file that should be covered by the mapping?
I note in your MAMP project file that the mapped configuration has http://localhost:8888 which you had not mentioned anywhere else in this post. Is that correct? What exactly are you writing in the browser when it works? Every example you’ve given has only been http://localhost which is not the same.
That’s something I tried out, as MAMP Apache default port number is 8888. I didn’t have anything before that. Nothing changed by adding this port number, though.
@Careyh: sorry forgot the answer your other question: So far I always only have entered http://localhost in the separate browser window or in the preview panel. It doesn’t make any difference.
Yes, I did try setting the preferences globally - no difference, but I’ll try again.
Yesterday I could no longer post here. Did you get my Tweet?
One more thing: MAMP allows to select between two users, oneself and what they call “Unix users”. If I select myself, nothing works anymore, not even entering http://localhost manually. May be that helps.
You were posting too much urls to localhost so the antispam system prevented you from posting anything within the link. I changed your user level so you shouldn’t have any problems anymore. Feel free to PM me on the forums if you won’t be able to post again, I’ll help you.
One more thing: I’d rather have the preview in a new tab right next the source file and not underneath it - it’s simply a matter of display “economics”. There is much more space horizontally than vertically. Can this be done?
