Topic : Broken formatting on localhost

Posted By: Sgt_Bilko on August 26, 2015, 7:32 pm

I use Rapidweaver to build my sites and previously tested my sites locally using MAMP, however I discovered recently that changing internal page links from relative to page to relative to docroot completely breaks the formatting.

This brought me over to AMPPS thinking it must be a bug in MAMP but I'm seeing exactly the same thing here as well. Does anybody know why this is happening and is there a way to fix it so it looks correct on the localhost? It all works well in preview mode inside Rapidweaver or after publishing to my server, so I am not sure why setting page links as relative to docroot breaks all formatting.

OK I've just sent them a message to ask if they have a solution. I did wonder if this may be related to SSL but I'll see what they say.

OK I think I have discovered the cause. I have a folder on Dropbox called Exported that contains 3 or 4 site project folders. Once I navigate to the localhost I can then open the folders and view the sites normally when links are set as relative to Page. When set as relative to DOCROOT they break. Putting the site contents back in the main directory fixes it.
