Linking to local server

[kerrynoy]

Hi,

I just downloaded the new template kit 2.1 and went through the video. In it you said I assume you have a local server setup and joomla installed. I have JSAS set up and joomla installed but for the life of me I cannot get the jpreview to work. I set up the my_joomla_templates folder in the JSAS templates folder but the local host is the problem. Is there a tutorial on setting this or should it just be a standard address?

After going through all the tutorial videos I am sure if I can get this jpreview to work I will be ok with the rest. Can you offer any advice.
Kind Regards
Kerry

In my JSAS install, JSAS uses a port number 85 for local host. So the path I use in DW is http://localhost:85/pwf/public_html/ where pwf is my sites main folder and the public_html folder is the same as my remote servers folder.

Hi Guys,

I know that a local web server is not easy for a lot of people.
I made one that works a lot easier then JSAS a few years back.

See:
123 Web Kit - Home
Free JoomlaStarterKit local Joomla web server and templates.

But supporting this type of software is like a fulltime job in some cases.
I’m going to make another system with a control panel and some type of update software.
But first I have other projects to finish and take a break even cars get oil changes.

As for your issue it’s as simple as where do you see your Joomla install in your browser http://xyz/joomla/

Copy and paste this address to your http:// Address field in DW and the Jpreview will work.

Btimms thanks for the help.

Cheers,
Brian
