konqueror

Hi,

I am having difficulty in associating my Konqueror to html files. I don't use Mozilla and I love to use Konq. but when I try to open one of my saved web pages I get the following error message; "There appears to be a configuration error. You have associated konqueror with test/html, but it can't handle this file type"! (the exclamation is from me not it).

Why can't it handle this file type? I know that konqueror is a web browser and a file manager too. I don't like mozilla (compared to konqueror) and I want to use konq. because it gives me a very clear web page and a very clear pics and fonts, what should I do? The strange thing is that when I right click of the file and choose open with kfmclient, it just open the web page without any problem (I used to have this error before in this case too, but now, it's gone)

Should I do something in the configuration of konq. as to make it an html browser or what?

I use FedoraCore2 and I use konq. as a file manager too.

Thank you for your time,

M B

In Konquerer/settings/configure konquerer
go to
file associations
click on all files related to html and click on it
at the right...preference order....you can make Konquerer be the first to open these file types or if its not added at all...add konquerer.

Thank you for ther reply, but I am afraid that the error is still there and I could not overcome it.
Any other solution?

Can you open unsaved webpages? For examle if you type "www.google.com" does it work?

Also try this:
In a text editor (In Kate or whatever you use, NOT OpenOffice.org), type the following,

<html>
<body>
<p>It works.</p>
</body>
</html>

Save the document as webpage.htm in your home directory.

Now open the document in konqueror. First try navigating to your home directory and clicking on it in the file browser. Does it work? You should see a page come up saying "It works." if it has worked. Next go to the root (/) directory and try typing in the full address into the address bar, ie, type "/home/USER/webpage.htm" where USER is your username. Press enter and write here whether it works or not.

It may just be a problem with saved webpages, I don't know.

I just broke my Konqueror as well! Was playing around with the text/HTML settings and stuff and this just happened to me. Go to the HTML file in the file associations box as described above, click on the 'Embedding' tab and where it says 'Left click action", set that as 'Show file in embedded viewer'. The first application I have in the list below that is KHTML. I don't know if this is what Konq uses to handle HTML files or whether it's something completely unrelated, but you might as well set it as KHTML unless you know what it does. Then click 'Apply' and see whether Konqueror works.
