DreamWeaver : css with less... access denied

Question

While the less app is opened, I can't save my .less files with DreamWeaver CS6.
I get a popup with the message below :

*The access to www[...]css/style.less has been denied.

I tried editing the file with vim, and everything went well.

Has someone already had this error ?

Answer 1

It looks like you're attempting to have LESS.app compile from an external server (say you're connected to your web server).

Unfortunately, LESS doesn't have access to edit the files (execute on the server), and therefore cannot compile the files into CSS.

I ran into the same problem, and tested it out with a .less file on my Desktop, and it compiled just fine.

I have no access to try and give execute, so I'm not entirely sure if more permissions would work (it may be a limitation of LESS.app).
