xavy9000 Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 The author explains how to connect to mysql with PHP, however he doesn't explain what we have to so DW connects to the testing server The necessary info to fill out on DW I assume is: my main question: what do we put on : testing server folder? Testing Server Server Model: PHP MySQL Access: Local Network Testing Server folder: ??????????????????????????????????? url prefix: http://localhost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falkencreative Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 See Adobe help: CS3: http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/9.0/help.html?content=WSc78c5058ca073340dcda9110b1f693f21-79e0.html CS4: http://www.adobe.com/newsletters/edge/december2009/articles/article2/index.html?trackingid=FBTRR EDIT: or this specific tutorial (this is probably the most useful resource of the three): http://www.extendstudio.com/blog/2010/03/how-to-make-a-testing-server-work/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xavy9000 Posted July 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 None of the above worked, what worked was: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/setup_php.html And I still think you guys should add a video, if I bought your videos I expected not to have to go somewhere else to find stuff (sorry had to vent!) I've lost not days, months!!!!!! trying to figure the above out, so please understand my frustration! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might consider directing your comments to stefan [at] killersites.com, since he's in charge of the contents in the courses/videos. If you've lost months over this issue, you really should have posted this question and gotten help earlier. Even if you couldn't get Dreamweaver to connect to the server correctly, you should have been able to continue learning PHP just without that live preview functionality.
