Error when trying to preview page in a browser -

I get a "page not found" error when i try to display a page in IE that i am developing in Domino Designer. This is the url that IE it is trying to open:

'http://localhost/Proposed.nsf/Title?OpenForm'
now that just doesnt look right...

sometimes i get this error when trying to preview a page in IE: (different app)

'The database is not in your directory and cannot be previewed.'

Whats the deal with these errors?

Where does the web browser reside that you're trying to use? If you're trying to look at it with a browser on your PC and the server is on a different machine, this won't work.

You're referencing "localhost," which is the local machine. Try http://yourserversinternetnamehere/Proposed.nsf/Title?OpenForm to make it work.

the form i am trying to look at is on my local machine so localhost is correct... the browser resides on my machine as well.

I would put in a proper directory for the file, since the way it is now, I do njot think it can be resolved.

Is the file in your Notes directory, in c:\ ?
localhost does not resolve to a directory, you need more info in the URL.

I hope this helps !

its in notes\data on the h drive which is on a network that i was told to put my stuff on... i have tried to open it with the path to it but that doesnt work either

have you tried opening other databases in the same directory on the server? is the problem unique to this db?

thanks

Have you tried changing your Notes data directory to be on your c: drive instead of the network drive?

NHTTP is not running as one of my processes...

it is working again for some reason and the only thing i can point to is that i stopped IIS... :$

YOu can try changing the port of IIS server . I think it's in the website properties. Try changing the port and access it like

http://localhost:<portnumber>/pathofyouraspapplication
