How to open RHTML file?

Programs to open RHTML file

Remember to download programs supporting RHTML files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Web browser with RHTML files

If, despite the installed application, the RHTML file does not start in the Web browser application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Web browser application as the default for handling the RHTML file.

Step 3. Update Web browser to the latest version

If, however, after binding Web browser with Ruby HTML Web Page there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RHTML file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the RHTML file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file RHTML or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover RHTML files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the RHTML file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged RHTML files.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted RHTML files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the RHTML file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file RHTML to close. However, some background programs may block the RHTML file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
