Accessing a project from the file system in Ripple

If you do not have a web server set up, you can open files directly from the local file system on your computer by completing the following tasks:

  1. Create a folder named RippleSites in one of the following locations:
    • Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<Username>\RippleSites
    • Windows 7: C:\Users\<Username>\RippleSites
    • Mac OS: /Users/<Username>/RippleSites
  2. Copy your project folder and all of its contents into the RippleSites folder.
  3. In the address bar, type http://localhost:9910/ followed by your project folder and landing page. For example:
    http://localhost:9910/HelloWorld/index.html

In Mac OS, if you have packed and launched your application by using the Package & Launch option in the Ripple emulator, the RippleSites folder is created automatically, however, you may have to change its permissions so that you can copy or move your local resources into it.
