Hello everyone  
I just upgraded from Rapidweaver 6 to 7.3. When I go to Preview mode, I see the following error:

Couldn’t start the internal web server.  
Please restart Rapidweaver.

After a minute or so, the page does load normally. But restarting Rapidweaver does not solve the issue. Who knows what’s going on here?  
Thanks[.](http://www.biz-strategy.ae/index.php?option=com_k2&view=itemlist&task=user&id=261074)

First thing to try might be to update to 7.5.6, which is the last release of RW7.
