Is it Dreamweaver CS3 or Apache causing the error?

[Jamier101]

I'm currently working on one site within Dreamweaver and therefore when I test the site localhost pops up and all is right with the world. However, when I create a new site in Dreamweaver and press F12 to preview it the Apache server opens the first site I created :(

Is this error caused by something I've not done in Dreamweaver or is it down to virtual hosts in the Apache conf file?

Jamier101 --

We'll need way, way more information to answer this question, I think.

Having used Dreamweaver 5 or so years ago, I recall that F12 is supposed to display the page you created as it would appear in a browser. My recollection is that no server is involved -- it's just using the local files in your project to simulate what you would see. If I am correct, then this has nothing to do with Apache, and is probably related to your Dreamweaver project configuration.

I apologise, F12 is a browser preview although it opens as localhost on my system.

The issue seems to arise when I use 'Manage Sites' in Dreamweaver, I can only have one site set on the testing server at one time. If I put another site in Dreamweaver and set it to use the testing server it says there is a conflict and files might not work properly :(

Testing server:
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\

I have the root folder of the main site set as http:\\localhost\ and I'm wondering if that's where the issue lies although if the folder is set else where I don't know if the php will still work :s

Fixed it, I had the document root folder and the test server in the same location, stupid boy Pike!
