I have WeBuilder 7 installed on a system with Windows Vista Home Premium. On that system, I also have a web server program installed as well as php 5. Both the web server and php are working correctly and I can view both htm and php pages stored on this computer without difficulty.
For various reasons, I keep most of my web files installed in a folder on a network drive. I have mapped that folder on my computer as the Z: drive. I have gone into preferences and set Preferences>Preview>Mappiings so that there is one entry that has the Filesystem Path set to the web server on my computer and Web Server Path set as http://localhost/ and a second entry with Filesystem Path set to the Z: drive (the remote folder where my files are stored) and the Web Server Path set to http://localhost/. I should also point out that when I set WeBuilder up I pointed the php entry to the php-cgi.exe which is what the web server package told me to do when setting it up.
I can now open files from the remote (Z:) folder without difficulty but I can not preview either htm or php files within WeBuilder at all.
Should it be possible to do so and if so what am I missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Ok, I had the server mapping set up incorrectly. I have corrected that problem and can preview the main part of the page, but none of the include files show up. Most of my includes are simply set up as files in the same networked drive directory as the main page, so it doesn't make sense to me that it isn't finding the includes. Any suggestions? Thanks!
