LR cc Preview in Browser Issue

I purchased the CE4 Publisher Bundle. I have installed the web-engines and templates in LR cc. The template I'm using in CE4 Pages - Pale. After customizing the template and saving as a new template. I clicked the "Preview in Browser" button in the Web module. FireFox launched but did not show the expected file.

I received the following error message:
Firefox can't find the file at /C:/Users/user/AppData/Local/Temp/AgWPGExport-3/index.html.

I checked the AgWPGExport=3 folder and indeed there was no index.html file only and index.php file.

Is there a configuration problem with LRcc or CE4? Please advise.

This is my first attempt using CE4 to make a home page. Not having the preview capability will be a set back in my ability to build my site.

Re: LR cc Preview in Browser Issue

Pages exports as php files, you cannot use Lightroom's Preview in Browser feature. (It can only see HTML pages)
You'll need to either put it online or use a virtual server like MAMP for Mac or WAMP for Windows.

Here's a tutorial for setting up Pages for WAMP

Should be applicable to MAMP too

Re: LR cc Preview in Browser Issue

It's been working well for me to run quick tests. I even keep an entire test site in the WAMP environment

Re: LR cc Preview in Browser Issue

Thanks a great idea of keeping the site on the WAMP server. I'll do that as well.
