ERROR using managed site

Can anyone help me i am using a trial version of Dreamweaver MX . I have here
at home Mac OSX 10.3 .
I created the index page and then went to manage sites.I am trying to set up
a root and local folder and i get the error can't create folder.So i then quit
out of Dreamweaver and restarted Dreamweaver and went to Create new-Dreamweaver
site went to manage sites and i get the same error can't create root folder.How
can i fix this problem

what is the full exact local path to where you are trying to create the
folder? And what are you trying to name this new folder?

such as
Macintosh HD-->Users-->You-->folder-->folder

what are those exact names?

I save to my Users(artchick)-->siites-->auditsite
could it be that Dreamweaver has a default location for it and that it is why
it can't create it. B/C i name the site->Where to store files-> users-->
sites--> aduit_sites folder.what folder on the server do you want to store
files-->users->sites->audit_sites folder

What is the name of the hard drive?
I'm after the exact local path, to rule in or out a problem dw has on macs
when there is a funky character like ' or # or almost any punctuation or
upper ascii characters in the path.

try this-
open a web browser.
type this into the address bar:
file:///

now browse to were you want to create this site folder.

copy/paste the url from the address bar into your reply.

it brings me to my hardrive DOT
then i open up users and thats where i want to create the folder
file:///users

so path is
file:///DOT/users/artchick/sites/auditsite
??

Can you create the folder in mac finder, where you want it, then choose it
in the dw dialog box?

Can you copy/paste the path in the browser's url address bar to this folder,
as i asked, so i can rule out for sure a filename problem?

it brings me to my hardrive DOT
then i open up users and thats where i want to create the folder
file:///users

file:///Users/artchick/Sites/AUDIT_site/

Can you create the folder in mac finder, where you want it, then choose it
in the dw dialog box?I did that -I went to manage sites-> new site->choose->
then i selected the folder i created in the finder .

-I went to manage sites-> new site->choose-
then i selected the folder i created in the finder .

and?
error message or is it working...

i get an error message Can't create folder dot:Users:artchick:Sites:
AUDIT_site:

to quadruple check-

is it possible that there is a blank space on the hard drive name?
is it
dot
or is it
dot

if that isn't it- I'd suggest booting up from the osX install disk and
running Disk Utility -->"fix permissions" because i'm at a loss and am not
at your keyboard.

i get an error message Can't create folder dot:Users:artchick:Sites:
