When I try to create a development website, I get a message that says "Unable to locate source. Please try again."

Not sure what the problem is...

Hey Jessica,

I'm actually not familiar with Desktop Server. I tried it once and did not like it at all, so I don't use it. There are some who will only use it, but I prefer using MAMP (I'm on a Mac).

Have a look at this course on Local WordPress Development. You didn't say what system you are running, so I linked the whole course, and you can then just go to the video for the system you are using. I think you'll find it much more friendly than Desktop Server (again only my opinion).

Good Luck. :)
