root folder does not exist

hi there,

I took over a complete website from a colleague who made it in dreamweaver. I have hardly used the programme before, because it does so many things in the background ... which seems to be the case again...

when I opened the project for the first time I got the message "local root folder does not exist", although I did not change any thing in the side... all manuals just tell me how I start a new project, but I have found no instructions for the above error message.

can anybody help me?

tnx, coco

The fact it was made in Dreamweaver should have no bearing on your choice of application to continue developing, after all html is html everywhere.

Anyway, that error pertains to the fact that if this is the first time you open it, then no site definitions, or root folders have been established.

It really is just a matter of defining the site, and adding the files to it.

However as I said, if that is too much hassle, you can always open it with whichever app you use to handle websites.
