preview .asp

Post by pixie »

When I click the preview tab for an .asp it brings up a dialog that says

Do you want to open or Save this file?
Name: AddDev.asp
Type: WeBuilder document, 17.3KB
From: C:\Projects\BD

The options are Open, Save or Cancel

When I click Open it brings up an hourglass for a second then the dialog disappears then nothing else happens, no error msgs or anything.

If I click Save it saves a copy of the file then asks me if I want to open it, click Open and it takes me back to the Code Editor tab.

.html files preview OK

Hi pixie,

You need to setup the server mappings in WeBuilder so WeBuilder knows which server runs your ASP scripts:

Options - Preferences - Preview - Mappings

Then add a new mapping.
I have two setup, one for my localhost & one for our test server, so I have:

c:\inetpub\wwwroot - maps to - http://localhost
i:\ - maps to - http://ourserver

This means any asp files I open from c:\inetpub\wwwroot or i:\ will get run on the correct server and I can preview them.

Hope that makes sense!
Cheers,
Mike
