| I was having a problem with Dreamweaver MX. I was going through the tutorial
for "Developing a Web Application Program in Dreamweaver MX" and had gotten
through the PHP section with total success and had finished downloading MySQL
when I ran into a problem. I was going through the tutorial step by step and
have checked all of the steps in the tutorial for mysql NUMEROUS times, but yet
I still can't figure out my problem. I succeeded in creating the GlobalCar
Database in mysql and using the insert.sql to insert all the tables/records
that is done with the "mysql -uroot (I didn't specify a user name or password)
GlobalCar < insert.sql" command (I checked the mysql Global Car directory that
was created and there were all the files that were supposed to be there, so
that was a success). After that though, in the "Creating a database
connection" section is where I ran into my problem, when I opened up the MySQL
connection dialog box, typed in "connGlobal" as the connection name,
"localhost" for the server name (being that I have no network, only a single
personal computer, and I have PHP running on it as well and succeeded with the
"http://localhost/timetest.php" test, so I know PHP worked on the localhost),
and "root" for the user name since I did not set one for MySQL, but then I
tried pressing "Select" for Database, and it gave me the alert that "an
unidentified error had occurred" (the same thing happenned when I typed in
"GlobalCar" for Database and tried to test it). I checked that I had
everything set up right for the site definition for "Global Car - PHP" and I
believe I had all the right information put in. The field values in the site
definition are as follows:
Local Info
-------------
Site Name: Global Car - PHP
Local Root Folder: C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\MySampleApp\
"Refresh Local File List Automatically" - checked
"Enable cache" - checked
Remote Info
---------------
Access: Local/Network
Remote Folder: c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\MySampleApp\
"Refresh Remote File List Automatically" - checked
Testing Server
------------------
Server Model: PHP MySQL
Access: Local/Network
Testing Server Folder: c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\MySampleApp\
"Refresh Remote File List Automatically" - checked
URL prefix: http://DIA/MySampleApp/
Cloaking
----------
"Enable Cloaking" - checked
Design Notes
----------
"Maintain Design Notes" - checked
"Upload Design Notes for Sharing" - checked
the rest of the information (Site Map Layout and File View Columns) is default
------------------------------
I have no idea what the problem is and I've tried for a number of hours now
that I've been stuck on this one, seemingly small, problem, and I can't figure
out what to do. PLEASE, help me in whatever way you can. I'm just trying to
get through this tutorial so that I can make my own form database for my online
ministry and business. Thank you very, VERY much, and God bless!
