DMX can access localhost

Hope someone has a solution for this..

I'm trying DMX2004 to see what its database functions are like but am
completely stuck.

I've installed Apache (v2), PHP (v5.03) & mysql (4.1.10) using XAMPP package -
version 1.4.12 to install all three & set everything up. Accessing localhost
brings up XAMPP main page & allows access to phpinfo() to create & modify MySQL
tables. this shows apache/php/mysql are working fine.

My problem is that using dreamweaver to set up a testing site fails..

In the site definition section, i input http://localhost/baz/ as my sites root
folder but when i click on the test URL button i get the error message
"Dreamweaver cannot use the prefix you used to display live date..... &
finishes with HTTP error 12029"

When i input the address "http://localhost/baz/test.php" into internet
explorer it allows access to the files & displays phpinfo, whish is all that is
in test.php.

Any ideas?... this has been driving me mad for weeks

Try using the local IP address of your computer instead of localhost. That's what I do.

I'm trying to set this up on my laptop which is connected to the net via a wireless network. Ive tried the ip addresses from IPconfig - no joy with them either.

Finally found out via another posting in the forum's that it was PHP v5 that
was the problem - apparently its not supported by DMX yet.

I switched to PHP v4.3 & everything works a dream.

Finally, i can go to sleep now.....
