Error reinstalling actinic, cannot find/make sure path or internet address is correct

[dijol]

Hi guys.

I was trying to get the dreamweaver extension to work for my v8 catalog, and the guy at actinic said to try reinstalling..

So i backed up my site, uninstalled actinic, reinstalled with the dreamweaver thing, opened it up, imported my site..

After the import i got a message moaning about file locations or something..

And it wont allow me to view any page on the site now

But i can see the directory tree OK, and the custom pages in the tree.. but whenever i click on one to view/edit it, i get an error.

It says;

Cannot find 'C:\\Actinic v8\Sites\Site1\DesignPreviewHTML\P_index.html'. Make sure the path or Internet address is correct.

I ended up copying my old Sites folder to where the new one was as i noticed P_index.html wasnt there

And now the errors dont make sence, as the files exist it just cant seem to find them?

Is it something to do with the double \\ ?

Thanks for your help!

Tried restoring things from a diff backup, still same error.

The file it says it cant find, DOES exist and i have opened it manually..

Arggg!

Sometimes on a reinstall, the site folder will not end up in the same place unless you specifically requested it be so, in which case you would have had a message during install saying something like "Actinic files are still in that folder and must be removed before installation can proceed".

The chances are, the site folder your installation is using is now elsewhere, possibly residing in a different user's My Docs.

im guessing this should be

Cannot find 'C:\program files\Actinic v8\Sites\Site1\DesignPreviewHTML\P_index.html'

Yeah, as at that location, there is a file..

To reiterate;

I have imported my site to a fresh copy of actinic and i get the error specified above when clicking on any page or catalog page in the structure tree window, and a blank white page in the page preview bit..

Really need to sort this as the client is on my toes and needs updates!

Don't worry about it Kermit, just give Miss Piggy a good night to make up for it.

That's what I was trying to tell you five hours ago.
