I'm running Dreamweaver CS5.5 on Windows.

I've successfully installed

  • WAMP (from PHP Basics Course),
  • Wordpress 3.4 (latest version as of 26 June 2012), and
  • Dreamweaver CS5.5

I've run PHP on WAMP, I can see my WP site on localhost, and the DW install is fine.

 

Problem:

Do not know how to set Server Model to PHP MySQL when trying to get WP into DW.

 

Detail:

in the Dreamweaver and Wordpress: Define A Site In Dreamweaver video,

the version of DW shows an Advanced tab at the top, and

an option to set the Server Model to PHP / MySQL at the bottom of the Server Form.

 

My Windows installation of DW CS5.5 does not show that on the form.

How do I accomplish setting the Server Model to PHP/MySQL?

 

Greater Detail--

Wordpress Install:

I installed wordpress to the main www folder and did a second installation to a subfolder:

C:\wamp\www\wordpress\ and

C:\wamp\www\IM University\wordpress (part of troubleshooting).

 

I went to http://localhost/ and from the WAMP home page,

Clicked on PhpMyAdmin, and created a new website database (called it imdb).

 

I ran the install script. Form fields follow:

Database name: imdb

Database username: root (says your MySQL username)

Database password: (leave blank) (says your MySQL password)

Database host

Table prefix (if you want to run more than one WordPress in a single

database) wp-

 

I created the wordpress and logged in.
