Can't link to DB on Testing Server

I am trying to develop dynamic pages including a login page,
but have contunual problems trying to test my setup on my local
testing server. I am using MS Access, Vista, IIS7 and .asp pages
When I test using the local DSN the connection is fine and
the tables are accessible. If I try to test using DSN on the
testing server I get the following error message.
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver]Disk or network
error
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager]Driver's SQLSetConnnectAttr
failed
I think the problem may have something to do with security
access settings, but am totally lost as to what the solution might
be.

can u set as specified here

Site-relative links fail on local testing server

Using CS4/WAMP/XP, I have a testing server set up. All works well except that when I specify site-relative links, on the testing server they go back to localhost, not localhost/Frances. They work fine on the live site, but not on my testing server.
This prevents me from using (well, testing) 'include' files for things like menus when parts of the site are in different folders.
I have my site setup as follows:
Local Info
Site name "FFG2009"
Local root folder C:\wamp\www\Frances\
Default images folder C:\wamp\www\Frances\images\
HTTP Address: http://localhost/Frances/
Testing Server
Server model: PHP/MySQL
Access: Local/Network
Testing Server Folder: C:\wamp\www\Frances testing\
URL Prefix: http://localhost/Frances/
In my Apache config file I have a virtual directory set up like this
Alias /Frances/ "c:/wamp/www/Frances/"
<Directory "c:/wamp/www/Frances/">
    options all +includes
    AllowOverride all
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Directory>
I have been advised that I could temporarily change the Apache webroot folder to my "Frances" folder, but that stops other things like PHPMyAdmin from working. Also I have other sites within my www directory and I'd rather not have to change the Apache rootweb directory every time I need to work on a different site.
Is there a way to set up my site in CS4 so that site root links go to localhost/Frances rather than just localhost?
Thanks

Many thanks Mark.
I fact I spent all yesterday coming to the same solution. Finally at around 12:30am this morning it worked!
Early in the day I found the same reference you mentioned in an on-line copy of David Power's book where he exactly described the very problem I had - and with the VH solution.
However, I had a problem with an obscure syntax error in the virtual hosts include file. I still don't know what it was. The flag to perform a syntax check on HTTPD startup didn't discover it. The problem actually prevented the Apache service from starting at all but that little point escaped me for a long time because the WAMP system tray icon is so small I didn't spot that it was telling me "some services are running" (half yellow) instead of "all services are running" (white).
It wasn't until I ran (in desperation!) Apache Monitor that it became obvious that Apache was tripping over this virtual host definition and failing to start.
It also seems that if you have any virtual host directive in an include file, then it negates the localhost directive in the Apache config file. So when I define the Frances virtual host, I also need to have localhost defined in the include file.
It was this localhost directive that was causing the problem. I found it by having Apache Monitor running so I can see the true state of the Apache service and, after pointing the config file 'include' directive to a vhosts file...
empty the vhosts file - Apache starts - 'localhost' works, frances doesn't - makes sense.
add the frances virtualhost definition to the vhosts file - Apache starts - 'frances' goes to the frances site, 'localhost' does too (dam')
add the localhost virtualhost definition to the vhosts file - Apache fails to start - "IE cannot display this page"
pull out the localhost definition - Apache starts... hmmmm... .
find an example localhost definition from somewhere else - to all intents and purposes identical to mine - add it in - Apache starts!
Both localhost and frances now work! Maybe there was a space where no space should be - I don't know.
Of course I also had to add entries into windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts to point to 127.0.0.1.
Oh yes, virtualhosts are fussy about folder names. You cannot have spaces in a folder name.
Thanks

Dreamweaver 6. I can't reference root folder on test server - any ideas please?

Dreamweaver 6. I've set up a copy of a site onto a test server. All fine other than a problem with links to the root folder.
The web URL for test server is set up as http://localhost:8080/bhtownsite/ but when I set up a link to the site root e.g. /photos/pictures.php, instead of going to http://localhost:8080/bhtownsite/ the system ignores the 'bhtownsite' folder and goes to http://localhost/photos/pictures.php which of course doesn't exist!!
I've no hair left to pull - any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

@Murray,
I don't have a Root Directory field in my Testing Server definition (CS6 12.2).
Server name: Testing Server
Connect using: Local/Network
Server folder: C:\wamp\www\MySiteName\
Web URL: http://localhost/MySiteName/
Is that something new in CC?

Need help setting up at local testing server

I have Coldfusion 8 installed on my hard drive and DWCS3
installed on an external hard drive hooked up to computer. I have
set up a DSN in Coldfusion I can't however get setup the testing

I have tried everything I can think of and tried pointing this
address to any folder that is related to my site can someone help
me please

Remote and testing server don't see root relative links the same

My site works fine on my testing server (Apache, MYSQL,
PHP). I use root relative links in a library
file (include file) so that it will work with all pages. For the testing server these links look like this:
/my_sites_root_folder/aaa/bbb/ccc etc.
If I use these same links on the remote server they won't work. To get hem to work I have to change all these links to the form
/aaa/bbb/ccc etc.
When dreamweaver uploads files to the remote server, the site name folder (my_sites_root_folder) doesn't go along for the ride--just the files in it. So on the remote all the site files are stored in htdocs. On my testing server, the files are stored in htdocs/my_site_root_folder.
I think it must have something to do with the way I'm setting up the remote and testing servers, but I'm read a hundred pages of instructions without being able to figure it out. I think I'm just seeing something wrong, but I've already spent days on this. Can someone please point me in the right direction?
I'm using DWCS5. Internet explorer 8, Windows 7.

Thank you for your prompt response. I'm afraid I'm still totally puzzled here. It sounds like you're very knowledeable about your comments, but I would like to know more. I accept that using the local site root in links would be bad, but I'm not clear WHY. Structuring the links as I have doesn't cause any links to break. I've structured them this way because it's the only way I can find that everything works. But I still do not understand WHY I have to do it. Using different libary include files doesn't seem like a good way to go, though
You suggest that if I use any root relative links at all, I need to use vitual hosts. I'm not finding any good coverage of what these are, and especially why they are necessary. If this is the case, does that imply that templates (which use root relative links) also will not work on the test server (at least without vitual hosts)? The conclusion I'm coming up with, given your remarks, is "Dreamweaver doesn't work with root relevant links when you're trying to test a site with a test server." Is this right?

Root-relative links & local testing server

Yesterday I figured out that I'd have to use root-relative links in an included SSI file so that it would work from both templates and pages in my main directory (or other directories, for that matter), e.g., 'src=/image/picture.jpg'. However, since my site is PHP, in order to test the pages or even to use Live View, I have to make use of a "testing server". I did this without much trouble using a package called EasyPHP, which sets up a local web server as well as the PHP module, MySQL support, etc. This all works very well.
The problem is that, in order to support several web sites, I have to use a "virtual directory" spec to direct the web server to the correct location for my site's files. In the setup for the testing server, I therefore have to specify a URL prefix such as 'http://localhost/corinthian' for this particular site. That has worked previously, but breaks when using root-relative links since the server sees the "root" as being the main "localhost" directory instead of "localhost/corinthian". So now my SSI doesn't display correctly because it's not being resolved to the correct directories.
I don't think that this is fixable unless someone else has run into it and can think of some gimmick I could try. Anyone? Breaking out some of my code into an SSI has definitely been more of a challenge than I expected!

I use 1&1 Internet as my hosting service. They apparently have my site set up in a virtual directory / virtual host fashion. Going to http://corinthian241.org, the root directory for root-relative links would have to be the directory pointed to by the URL. However, running phpinfo.php on the site shows the following result for $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']: '/kunden/homepages/29/d246935068/htdocs/corinthian'.
So I'm pretty sure that a link from a page in my site home directory using this as a prefix would definitely not work, since the first "/" implies starting in the "corinthian" subdirectory -- not the real root of the server itself. Correct?

Can dw cs3 connect directly to sql server database without a testing server?

I'm new to dreamweaver but have used script tools that link
directly to my sql server database.
Not in dw, so far. As of this early stage, I don't have or
want to use a web server, and it's blocking me
without one. I just want to prototype without a testing
server, directly to my database. And while I'll try php
later, I didn't want to have to get into it or cold fusion,
etc. right away.
Can dw connect directly to sql server database without a

I'm running XP sp 3 at this point, and don't see IIS. There's
probably some security issues
I'll have to tangle with. The goal is for my website to end
up on the company intRAnet, not the www.
fwiw, I can Build in Data Link Properties and get a
successful test to my sql server database via
Microsoft Data Link, but once I go back and try the test in
OLE DB Connection it balks on the testing server,
as I don't have one locally or otherwise. Isn't there a way
to link to db without a testing server?
Thanks for any insights.

Yes, you can. However, Dreamweaver's PHP server behaviors
work only with
MySQL. To connect to any other database, you need to hand

everything yourself.

Tiger as a testing server? Can't find all the peices...

I am looking all over for a 1,2,3 of how to set up Tiger as a testing server. I find bits and peices - but don't understand how to get them all to fit together.
I want to be able to test dynamic websites authored in Dreamweaver on my G5.
I know I need Apache, PHP, and MySQL - but can't find a recent tutorial that tells how to install them all.
Really need the help. Please...
Thanks!

Apache and PHP are already installed on all Mac OS X machines BUT php is disabled in your httpd.conf file. If you know how to enable it go ahead, just oncommend the php lines. If not here is a link: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/mac/2002/01/04/apachemacosxpt3.html
MySQL is only included in Mac OS X server, but there is a great installer located here: http://www.entropy.ch/software/MacOSx/mysql/
Or if you want to get your hands dirty and install it yourself you can follow the apple documentation: http://developer.apple.com/internet/opensource/osdb.html

So how can i set up this link so when i delete any email from my iPad it will be deleted from my email inbox server also?

Hi Pierrot10,
Insert your backup disc (or plug your external hd), then open Mail.
In the File menu, click *Import Mailboxes* and follow the steps for a *Mail for Mac OS X* transfer.
Navigate to your CD/DVD's or external HD's backup and hit "OK".
This should create a new "Imported" folder in Mail with all your old messages in it, that you can then rearrange as you wish, creating new mailboxes etc.

Can't create bin automatically in the testing server

Dear Gurus,
I am having this problem:
In the server for configuration, I create new warehouse and do all the settings, then when I run SPRO > IMG or use t-code LS10, I can test to create storage bins automatically successfully.
However, in the server for testing, after transporting all the settings for new warehouse, I use LS10 to create storage bins (since we can't transport master data), but the system (in testing server) says that I am not allowed to make (configuration) modification. The button "Create Bins" therefore gray out.
Question:
LS10 supposed to be a transaction to create master data. How come the testing server treat it as a configuration and not allow me to create bins automatically? Is this the error from MM side or Basis side (my profile is SAP_ALL)?
We don't want to create manually since there are thousands of bins, also we don't want to create an excel file and upload using LSMW because we already have formula and just want to create bins automatically.
Please advise. Thanks.
Trang

Hi
The transaction form createing the template of the bins and subsequently creating the bins is config.
I get round this by doing a recording of LS01N in LSMW and then using this to create my bins in ALL clienst by exporting and importing my LSMW
This also means that I can create any bins with any numbering sequece in one spreadsheet and load them all in one
In one of my recent projects I used this method to create 80,000+ bins in approx 30 minutes
Of course you need to know how to create the LSMW but a developer may be able to help you as it is too long to explain in this forum
I hope that this helps

Odbc connection test success but can't link the database to oracle with 1013 call failed error.

i am using my MS Access 2013 to connect with my oracle database. I created the odbc link and successfully have connection test pass. However i can;t link the database with my MS access. When i am using different software (mapinfo), i am able to connect to oracle database. The error is"1013: user requested cancel of current operation"

In MS access, i open the external data and select odbc. Select my odbc link created previously, enter the password and after a while the error message pop up.
But if i am using another tools, such as SQL Developer or Mapinfo, i will able to connect to oracle database using the same odbc link.

Can't define testing server

I want to put dynamic content on my site. I am on the step where you add a testing server but when I do that they checkmark doesn't appear. It's like it's not recognizing it. I've done this a million times and can't figure out why it's not working for this site! I'm very frustrated.
Info I'm using:
Server model: ASP VBscript
Access: Local/Network
Server folder: I selected the folder on our server.
This always works. Today it's not and I'm totally stumped!

Everything is fine with the server. It has been set up to run ASP and PHP. I've used it in the past, recently actually and it worked just fine. But now it won't let me define the testing server for some reason. Or at least it won't recognize that I have so I can connect to the database.

I can not configure a test server in DreamWewaver CS6.

My problem is this: I am creating a website in wich the vast majority of pages and files that form are made in PHP. When I configure a test server on my computer (for the moment can not be anywhere else), to indicate the URL where I put the folder where the files are hosted on my site, since that folder is in my computer, but whatever I do always modified and changed to http://misitio (where misisitio is the name of my website). How can I do to make that no happen?

I set up my test server as you have said, even indicating the full path to the folder containing the files of my website, but nothing, I still have the same problem. It occurred to me that you could fix also indicating the Internet port, so it is something like http://localhost:8080/misitio, so I'll try and then comment on how it went.
