Figured it out.
When given requests for urls without a trailing slash, Apache was then truncating the www (how are people supposed to know this stuff!!)
Here’s what I added to my root .htaccess (found by googling “trailing slash apache” or something):
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^(.+[^/])$ $1/ [R]
If anyone sees any reason that this is bad, please let me know (yes, I’m aware that it’s processing intensive, don’t care).
I’ve installed xampp and wordpress. Both are working fine. I’ve started a project in dreamweaver — I’m so close — but when I try to get a live preview, a window pops up saying “live data error — an error occurred while requesting the document from the testing server”.
The frustrating thing is that the error box contains a perfect looking display of the wordpress site! arg!
anyone have any suggestions?
