.. figure:: _static/livvkit.png :width: 400px :align: center :alt: LIVVkit Frequently Asked Questions ========================== Why does the output website look weird and/or blank? ---------------------------------------------------- Web browsers are disabling the use of local resources, like javascript, when viewing local files (``file://``) due to possible security risks. As of writing this (2017/05/11), Firefox and Safari will still display the output websites appropriately, but Chrome will not (IE/Edge untested), and Firefox is slated to disable access in an upcoming release. Fortunately, there is an easy workaround! LIVVkit now has a ``-s/--serve SERVE`` option which will fire up a local HTTP server, and serve LIVVkit's output website over port ``SERVE`` (8000 is the default port). This option can be used to immediately serve the output website once LIVVkit is finished running the requested analyses, or to view a previously generated website. For example, to serve an output website from the ``vv_test`` directory, you'd pass ``livv`` the ``-o/--out-dir`` and ``-s`` options: .. code-block:: bash livv -o vv_test -s LIVVkit will display the web address to view the website from; in this case the address will be similar to ``http://localhost:8000/vv_test/index.html``. *Note, this will capture your terminal until you're done using the server (use* ``ctrl+c`` *to kill it).* If you're still having problems, `open an issue on github `__ and we'll help you out!
