Connecting to my Database using Dreamweaver MX

[RenaissanceHero]

Okay.....I am stumped....

I am trying to connect MYSQL to my webpage and when I make the connection and try to search for the database, I come up with the following errors:

1)there is no testing server running on the server machine.
2)the testing server specified for this does not map to the
http://localhost/htdocs/_mmServerScripts/MMHTTPDB.php URL. Verify that the URL Prefix maps to the root of the site.

as picture below indicates:


PhP is running fine..... I tested the server with an echo time script

MYSQL is all Green Light.....

PhP Admin is running fine.....

Any pointers to the right directions on how to fix this????

I spent the last 12 hours reading online.....but to no avail..

Thanks

I'm guessing your MySQL server is on the same machine your developing from...

Either way...try using your IP addrss instead of "localhost" for your server

Also select the database you're connecting too as well.

With DW MX, you need to setup local, remote, and testing server mappings...go through your site manager and make sure everythings cool.

Thanks for the tips...

yes.....Mysql is running on my machine...

C:\mysql
webserver: c:\program Files\abyss web server\htdocs

I think that my error is in the Remote folder setup in dreamweaver.... but I dont quite know how I am going wrong..

Thanks for your help...I will give the IP insertion a try.

When you're looking at the "Testing Server" section of your Dreamweaver Site, this is what you should type in...

Server Model: PHP MySQL
Access: Local/Network
Testing Server Folder: c:\path\to\htdocs\testing\
URL Prefix: http://localhost/testing/

I just opened Dreamweaver to check those settings and that should accomplish what you are after.
