do you really need to install a bunch of 3rd party stuff to set up a "testing server" in Dreamweaver in order to be able to view it as if it is "live"?
I want to edit say ie the phpBB forum main page but I want a "live" view of it while doing so.
can any1 help me set this up?
I have the phpBB files unzipped to a folder called "Remote Server" on my hdd.
do I go to "Manage Sites" and then add the local info?

k so tried WAMPserver 1st and couldn't get it to work.
then tried AppServ and couldn't get that to work.
then tried WAMPserver again and finally after disabling everything it worked,
but now my only problem is in DW I can't seem to actually get it to display the images.
ie it shows the phpBB forum front page properly, except none of the images of the STYLE are showing.
I don't know if I set the IMAGE FOLDER to the incorrect path, but I have now tried several instances.

Is this a fresh install of phpBB with no changes to the style?

changes as in choosing a different one, or changes in individual files within the style?
haven't changed any of it's files, and not sure if the default style was PROSILVER, but that is what it is on now.
it seems (and this is coming from some1 with no knowledge so bare that in mind), that it doesn't seem to find the {T_THEME_PATH}.
the reason I think that is, it will show 2 images from the IMAGESET folder, but they seem to be "hard-coded" into the pages, where as the images that are not showing, are linked in CSS files with the URL of the images starting with {T_THEME_PATH}. it also doesn't seem to register any of the CSS files which are also linked by using that {T_THEME_PATH}
if a screenshot would help a bit let me know.
