This article shows how to configure the Preview tab to preview through a web host server, localhost or remote.
Want to edit and test scripts and documents with Server Side Includes locally? With HTML-Kit Tools it’s no longer necessary to mess with server mappings and preview rules.
Assuming that you have a local web server running at http://localhost/ and that its document root is C:\MySite\ here’s what to do:
- Open a project and add the local folder C:\MySite\ to it.
- Change to the "Preview" tab on the "Add Local Folder" dialog. Enter the URL for your local web server, usually http://localhost/
- Click "OK" to save the changes.
- Open a script or other document from the newly added folder in the project.
- Click the "Preview" tab. Note how the preview goes through the web server.
* This feature requires HTML-Kit Tools 20091112 or higher.
