Troubleshooting Live Data view

Many problems with Live Data view can be traced back to missing or incorrect values in the Site Definition dialog box (Site > Edit Sites).

Check the Testing Server category of the Site Definition dialog box. The Remote Folder box should specify a folder capable of processing dynamic pages. Here’s an example of a suitable remote folder if you’re running IIS or PWS on your hard disk:

C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\myapp\

Verify that the URL Prefix box specifies a URL that corresponds (maps) to the remote folder. For example, if PWS or IIS is running on your local computer, then the following remote folders have the following URL prefixes:

Remote folder

URL prefix

C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\

http://localhost/

C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\myapp\

http://localhost/myapp/

C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\fs\planes

http://localhost/fs/planes
