Preview inside RW does not work

RapidWeaver Classic
1

Hello from Germany,
this is Peter and I have a new problem with
RW 9.2.1 on an
iMac16,2, macOS Monterey Version 12.7.5 (21H1222)
Prozessortype: Quad-Core Intel Core i7
Prozessorspeed: 3,3 GHz
Here’s the issue:
Preview INSIDE Rapid Weaver does not appear, there’s only a white field.
The Generating Preview wheel ist turning and turning…
Finally RW freezes and the coloured Mac button is turning, too.
I can only escape by cmd-alt-esc.
Any suggestions to solve the issue would be great, thanks in advance & forgive wrong grammatics :wink:
Peter

Hi Peter,
I’m no expert, but take a look at your Advanced Settings. There you can re-start the built in “web sever”. Make sure the box is checked to Automatically start the web server on opening the project.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for your quick reply, Pearson,
yes, I checked the Automatically start button, but no improvement.
But I see your default extension is ‘php’, mine is ‘html’
Could this cause all the troubles?
cheers
Peter

Peter, that should not make any difference as far as I know. However, my knowledge level is just enough to be dangerous.
Best,
