That covers TESTING and REMOTE, but what about LOCAL?
And which mode am I supposed to be working in?
Local is the folder where your files are stored while building them. So, they should be somehwhere withing the MAMP/htdocs/ folder...
Is this not a record if not near record Post which is now going on 4 pages? I don't know but I though that the MAC was a really great system, and I am aware that it is fantastic for graphics or video applications but I can't even draw a stick man so don't really care too much for all that, you would have thought that this would be an easily solved problem, but it seems to live forever with more nuances all the time. Of course this is just my opinion maybe I need to keep my Winderz OS.

You know, I hadn't used a MAC for about eight years until I got my new job recently at a small design firm. I wanted to set up a testing server on my G5, and did a little research. Was going to try EAsy PHP or WAMP, but those were just for Windows, so... I did a little more reading, and in about five minutes, downloaded the MAMP server. Another five minutes, after reading the FAQs, I was up and running. total time of install and research: 1/2 hour at the most.
Now, I have a PowerBook, a G5, and my Windows network at nome. The MAC makes everything look so lovely. It is like when Dorothy left Kansas for OZ and the film went from B&W to color.... You can even smell things better on a MAC, did you know that, Houdini?

You really need to get out more. I think most of DD's problems would be solved if he just uninstalled Dreamweaver !! :evilgrin:

It's compounded by not being narrowed down in the first place.

To each his own. A bit of community involvement and a lot of RTFM and most people should be able to run just about anything out there these days (with the possible exception of 397 archiaic, quaint, OSes that we shant't talk about [OK, then, anyone ever deal with THEOS?]).

Sure, Theo and I used to be on the same soccer team....

[INDENT]Having 3 folders is becoming a real hastle.
I'm having the problem where I'm overwriting my new files with the old ones. That's why I set all the folders to the same directory. Can I delete the local folder or set it to the same directory as the remote? What folder should I be working from?
By the way, I've used Apple for 20 years. I used to code by line.
And this has nothing to do with the topic.
Apple's problem is not with the hardware, it's the company. I watched them progress over the years, as the lies unfold. They don't care about developers or artists anymore- only iPod sales and new customers. Once your a customer- screw you.[/INDENT][/INDENT]

If you're referring to Mr. De Raadt, I was referring to the other people in the famed, um lawsuit, or whatever (don't think it actually got that far, did it?) ... ah, back to Goog...
So can I set two folders to the same path?
Also, which 'view' should I work from?
Thanks.

If I understand what you are asking, you should be able to make a 'link' --- either a hard link (linked file) or a symbolic link (pointer).
Also, which 'view' should I work from?
I don't know what you're asking about there; I assume something in DW?
Tempted, of course, to say, which ever you prefer?
In the folder / directory : MAMP/htdocs/
You can have several web sites:
MAMP/htdocs/
- site1
- site2
- site3
- etc...
Each folder in "MAMP/htdocs/" should consist of a separate entity, or an entire project or web site, that you would then, in turn, define as a site in DW.
Make sure you carefully select the correct folder when defining the site.
Make sure you carefully specify the "path" which will become the URL for testing the site.
I am not sure why you are over-writing new files with old files. Just the opposite should be occurring: You should be overwriting OLD files with NEW files when you save them... (??)
Do yourself a flavor:
1) Read the HELP files in dreamweaver.
HELP
Dreamweaver Help
Tutorials: Working with Dreamweaver Sites
Tutorials: Setting up your site and project files (make sure the "contents" tab is selected)
THEN, read the FAQs on the MAMP Web site.
If you put in a half-hour by reading the help files, you should be able to answer these questions yourself.
