    Why can't Chrome find the webpage when Previewing in Browser?

      Hi -

      This is thoroughly bizarre to me.

      I can preview any site I'm working on using any browser I have except Chrome (current version 33.0.1750.152).

       

      As an example - when I use Preview in Browser - Chrome says "the webpage is not found" - the path to the page is:

      file://external-drive/_PROJECTS/CLIENT/_files-from-client/_SITE-031614/index.html

       

      My next step is to manually navigate to the page using Chrome's File/Open.  This works perfectly but when the page appears the path is different:

      file:///Volumes/external-drive/_PROJECTS/CLIENT/_files-from-client/_SITE-031614/index.html

       

      This second path is the same path in the Manage Sites/Site/Local Site Folder line.  All other browsers (FFox, Safari, Opera) use this second path.  But for some reason Chrome has shortened the path to an incorrect address.  Weird!

       

      I don't think this is related to Mavericks because it was happening before that upgrade.

       

      Has anyone else had this happen?  Can anyone explain how I can fix this?

       

      TIA your insight.
