Thanks @apfelpuree - Andreas solved my problem.

Yeahā¦ I think I will wait for 7.01 as well. This is why I give new versions a couple of months to be out and let you high-end tech savvy folks work this stuff out. Sure it will be an improvement once these bugs get worked out.
Iāve encountered the same Preview issue with v 7.0. At least v 6.4 is OK. I donāt feel like rebuilding my pages again so will wait for the next update to see if the issues are fixed.
I just upgraded from 5.2 to 7.2 and I canāt preview any theme when creating a new web page. In between I upgraded to 5.4.1 because it supposedly was necessary, in order to open my older projects. This didnāt work, so now I thought to create a new site, but as I said I cannot preview themes. Help!
Iām having the same preview issues with RW v7.0.2 - all I get is a blank white page when previewing and itās driving me nuts. There is a discussion also going on about it at:
https://weavers.space/s/general/?wallEntryId=15935
I really wish that RealMac would give this some priority and sort it out. For now though I have had to go back to RW 6 until it is sorted out as this version works fine.
This issue is a priority for us. Weāre working on tracking down whatās causing it, as soon as we have a fix weāll issue an update.

Thanks Dan thatās good to hear. Looking forward to a fix.
Thank you for looking into it!
A friend and I just updated to Rapidweaver 7 and we are BOTH have the same problem. No preview available!
Unfortunately I have suddenly the same problem for one of my project. It worked perfectly well until today. No preview. Nothing in safari (http://localhost:49608). Canāt export to a local folder.
With a second project, I still can preview in RW 7.0.2. I still can publish it, but if I try to publish it local, it doesnāt work.
āPlease check that your puā¦ā My what ? An other thing, just after having exported all the pages, the publishing should start butā¦
Thatās really annoying. Hope you find a solution quickly.
Same Problem for me here, long time rapidweaver 4/5 user,
Iāve updated to version 7.
I can reproduce the problem anytime.
Open RapidWeaver 7.02, select project called āMulti Landerā,
do nothing
press preview and ā¦
So Iām stuck with a supposed latest version of something which does not bring trust to me ā¦
Same problem here, even with a ācleanā hosts file.
Have you tried upgrading to RW 7.0.4 ?
I am so hopeful the bugs can be worked out as Iām hoping to upgrade from version 6 to 7 once previewing and publishing issues are resolved.
Dan and the Team: one day at a time. Be encouraged: thereās a whole bunch of us hoping for your success!
7.0.4 broke preview on my working machine. going back to 7.0.3ā¦
please fix soon itās 2 months already.
I was able to solve this same problem on my machine, but only by permanently disabling Gatekeeper via a Terminal command. Setting the permissions in preferences to their most lenient was not enough. Iām not happy about having to do it, but at least it works again.
Iāve been having intermittent issues with Preview lately both previewing in RW itself and in the 3 browsers I have. The Preview has either been getting in a loop or failing to load from resources if a provide a link to images from the resources pane.
Following the instructions earlier in this thread in Terminal I see this:
Host Database
localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
127.0.0.1 localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 localhost
fe80::1%lo0 localhost
So I seem to have an extra line at the bottom. Is this relevant/important and if so how can I remove it?
Iām using RW 7.1.7
From Google:
We are considering the record "fe80::1%lo0 localhost" in the file /etc/hosts/ in OS X. It means for the hostname "localhost" use IPv6 link-local address "fe80::1" in zone "lo0" . Link-local means that this address is not routable and will be discarded by any router in the local network (at least they should).Jun 15, 2015
Iām not sure who put that there. Iād guess it was whoever set up your internet and router. And Iād also guess they put it there for a reason (your router or internet provider perhaps does not support IPv6 ā the new standard now that the 'net has run out of old-style IPv4 addresses).
I would not recommend editing your host file unless you understand what you are doing and have a good reason to do it.
Hi Isaiah.
Iāve since seen exactly that line on a screen shot on an Apple support query so I believe it is legit and donāt think that can be the solution to what seems to be a very intermittent problem for me.
This problem has only happened twice now. The first time preview got stuck on a spinning loading icon, the second time I got a (nearly) blank screen.
Everything was working as it should yesterday and I made no updates to anything to do with RW or the OS since this problem started last week.
Best wishes

I agree. I donāt think this hosts thing has anything to do with anything. Just a red herring.
And I think I know the bug that youāre seeing ā I had it reported a few times this morning. It involves a complex set of circumstances involved in RW7.1 file-format migration sometimes being run at unexpected times.
Iāve filed the issue with RealMac ā but Iāll release a beta version of Stacks that should work around the issue ā and generally make stacks a bit more resilient to this sort of thing.
I should release that beta a bit later today on my Slack channel: slack.yourhead.com
Isaiah
