Current version: Webuilder 9.4.1.130 on XP Pro SP3. I've had a long term problem with Webuilder (& previously Rapid PHP) in that I've not been able to get preview working properly. The only method that works has been to install Apache on the same machine as Webuilder, which I don't think should be ...

Hi, one mildly annoying 'feature' I would like to see changed is the way the 'F1' help for PHP works. At present, the Help file is opened in a separate window which seems to act a bit like a message box - you cannot leave this new window on sceen and change focus back to the program you are working ...

Hi, I've just got the new WeBuilder 2007 (8.0.0.75), having been using RapidPHP 2006 for the last year. This still has the same 'The software is not yet configured for previewing PHP files' page if I try to configure a remote server for previewing. (i.e. mapping with same FTP path as [working] save ...

Just to update people following this thread: There is a setback in tracing the preview problem as Rapid PHP 'Save to FTP' does not work at all with the empty website I set up of for Karlis to do the tests on.. Other FTP clients & even FTP from within Internet Explorer work fine on that site. (It's ...

I'm having similar problems with the internal preview mappings, & still no solution. Everything else works perfectly, the only thing I cannot get working is the internal preview via a remote server. I'm in a similar situation, I have servers on this site & don't want to mess my Windows machine up ...

Hi Karlis,
thanks for the offer, I've emailed details of a spare system we can use for testing.

I don't know if this is relevent or not, but Chris's mention of Office made me think.. On my machine, I have noticed (mainly within an Office program) that there is a multi-item clipboard facility. If this is not standard with Win XP, then it is added by MS Office. I've kept mine up to date with the ...

From Rapid PHP Preview screen: 'You can configure this preview window to work with your web server, but you must have a local or remote web server to publish your PHP file.' This states directly that, as Karlis has confirmed, it is supposed to be capable of using the built-in preview with a remote ...

That does not tally with Karlis' last posting above, he states that a mapping can be set up with FTP & gives an example??

This got me interested, though I'd never heard of 'gameguard'. There are several things of that name, but 'INCA nProtect Gameguard' appears to be the most likely one. The description (links below) reads more like malware or a rootkit - for an average user it's effectively unremovable, runs on boot ...

In connection with syntax checking again, a low-priority feature request: PHP5 has been out for a while and is starting to appear on web servers. (There appear to some problems in the 64 bit builds prior to V5.something). How about a dual setup in the Syntax check config so you can have two PHP ...

Hi Karlis, I'm still stuck on this.. I have removed the old preview mapping rather than editing to avoid any 'leftovers' and created a new one. Using the FTP Browse to locate the server web root produces a slighty odd URL with both left & right slashes, but it's similar to your example and identical ...

Hi, a very trivial item, but really annoying... Can the Web page links in the Help menu be made to open a new web browser rather than 'hijacking' an existing browser? I keep checking the support forum several times a day via the link in the help menu & if I forget to open a new copy of IE first the ...

The files are uploaded to the remote site, I have the project's FTP mapping to the appropriate web server directory & it's got an exact copy of the working project files on it. I don't follow this comment: you absolutely must have test.php both in c:\temp\atemp and also uploaded to http://www.site ...

I've just tried it with the filepath set to a temp directory on C: I made a directory c:\temp\atemp and set the mapping to this for the filesystem side & still have the full HTTP:// url of the webserver on the right. I realise this would not work to preview unsaved edited files, but I have the FTP ...
