127.0.0.1 Server Error when Opening Project File

Classic
1

For some reason when I open my project file I now get a 127.0.0.1 server error constantly meaning that I cannot open/edit my website.

It is the same issue I think as here, I have tried the fix recommened here but still the same issue.

I then downloaded the latest version of RW Classic and opened the project file on it but still the same issue. Was previously tring to open on RW8.

Can anyone help as I have some urgent changed to make but I am stuck.

Hi @lanky8804,

Can you try the following:

Select your project file, open the contextual menu, select Show Package Contents

web-server
web-server1920Ă—1108 473 KB

Select the Contents.plist file, open it in a text editor (whichever one you have on your Mac)

web-server-2
web-server-21308Ă—1198 420 KB

Do a search in that file for “server” and copy any resulting lines here so we can review (any line containing “server” and the line under it).

These are my results, they look like my ftp connections, have *ed out some of it for privacy

							<string>/public_html</string>
							<key>server</key>
							<string>92.***.13.**</string>

							<key>server</key>
							<string>92.***.13.**</string>

							<key>server</key>
							<string></string>

This one might be causing the issue as I tried publishing to NGIX folder a while ago but was never fully successfull. Weird that this issue is just starting now though. OR I could be completely wrong and not understanding what is going on.

<key>label</key>
							<string>iTeach - NGINX</string>
							<key>lastBackup</key>
							<date>2024-02-08T16:47:11Z</date>
							<key>maxConnections</key>
							<integer>6</integer>
							<key>path</key>
							<string></string>
							<key>server</key>
							<string></string>
							<key>serverConfigurationVersions</key>
							<array/>
							<key>type</key>
							<integer>0</integer>
							<key>useSSLOption</key>
							<integer>2</integer>

							<string></string>

Hmm those aren’t what I’m looking for.

When you say you can’t open/edit your website, do you mean you can’t open the project file at all? Or can you open the project file, but you just can’t preview the pages in RapidWeaver or in your web browser?

The lines I’m looking for in that Contents.plist file are:

<key>autoStartWebServer</key>
<false/>

<key>overrideWebServerPort</key>
<integer>0</integer>

And this is only if you can’t open the project file at all. The above is like a more technical version of this Preview function not rendering in Classic 9.3.4 9 [Solved] in the event you can’t open your projetct file.

If you can post some screenshots of the error you are seeing that might help too.

EDIT: Also always try restarting your Mac, that’s usually a first step to troubleshoot.

Have just sent you a private message with a screen recording so you can see what I mean.

Can I delete my NGINX ftp upload from my contents.plist? Which line do I go from and to? Would like to try something, as when this error happens it tried to mount a drive from my server.

I get the same error when opening in a demo version of RW and a converted .rwc file.

Reboots have happened
