Troubleshooting

If serrv says it isn't in your Applications folder, it needs to run from there.

• Quit serrv, move serrv.app to your Applications folder, and open it from there.
• When you quit, serrv reveals the current copy in Finder so you can move it.
• If macOS shows a security warning, make sure the app is in Applications and open it from there — or right-click it and choose Open. serrv is notarized by Apple.

serrv asks for Local Network permission to show preview thumbnails inside the app.

• Allow it in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Local Network → serrv.
• Then run Help → System Check… again — previews refresh automatically.
• This only affects the in-app preview; the sites themselves open fine in your browser.

A certificate warning means the locally trusted certificate isn't installed correctly.

• Open Help → System Check… — it can reinstall the local certificate.
• If a site is unreachable, check that its folder still exists; serrv marks a missing folder on the site card.

serrv handles static files only — HTML, CSS, JavaScript and images. It does not run PHP, Python or databases.

• For dynamic sites or a database, use MAMP PRO.

• Create a diagnostic report: Help → System Check… → Save Support Package…
• Send feedback or report a bug: Help → Provide Feedback…
• Manage your subscription or license key in the customer portal.
