Mick Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 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. ====================================== DREAMWEAVER and WORDPRESS Steps Taken ===================================== 1. Site menu, new site Fill out form: first site has wordpress in www: Site Name: IM Options Local Site Folder: C:\wamp\www\ second site has wordpress in sub folder: Site Name: IM University Local Site Folder: C:\wamp\www\IM University\ 2.
