An unidentified error has occurred - solved

Dreamweaver has always had this particularly unhelpful error message ('An unidentified error has occurred') when failing to connect to a data source. I've been beating my head against a wall for a week now trying to discover why just one of my sites was failing to connect to a MySQL database (and only on the testing server) in design view. It turns out that I had inadvertently caused a problem with a custom .htaccess written for friendly urls.
If you are using mod_rewrite you must not affect the _mmServerScripts folder, created by DW in your web root. I have now added this before my main rewrite rules:
#end rewriting process for special folders
RewriteRule ^(admin|_mmServerScripts)($|/) - [L]
Hope it helps someone else.

You don't say which server model or database you're using. If
it's
PHP/MySQL, see this detailed answer that I gave a couple of
days ago:

Cannot connect to the phone system. An unidentified error has occurred, Please try again.

Issue: Lync 2013 users with remote call control enabled cannot connect to the phone system. When the user logs into Lync, they see an exclamation in the bottom right corner
with this error.
Error: Cannot connect to the phone system. An unidentified error has occurred, Please try again. If the problem continues, please contact your support team.
Environment:
1 site: Site1
2 Pools:
1. Lync 2010
Trusted application is added here for the site.
2. Lync 2013
Avaya phone system: AES r6-1-2-32-0
I have not moved the trusted application to the Lync 2013 pool yet, but my understanding is that it should still work since it’s in the site. Is my understanding on this correct? (All of my other trusted applications do work for Lync 2013
users & none of them have been moved yet. Remote Call Control is the only one that does not work.)
This is from the uccapi log. This is just from the user logging in, not actually making a call. Below are the items that I think are important, however, I don’t know how to interpret it to determine if the problem is on the Lync side or
the Avaya side. Here’s a summary:

Hi Suelizy,
To better understand the issue, I would like to collect the following information for troubleshooting:
1. Do you mean the Lync 2010 user can connect to the Phone System?
2. What’s next hop pool of the application?
In a mixed environment, you must set the next hop pool to be the Lync Server 2013 pool.

Connect to mysql DB (An unidentified error has occurred.) plz need help...

I have been unable to create a database connection in dreamweaver to my MySql
server. Each time I receive the message "an unidentified error has occurred".
I can use pure php code to create a connection successfully:
<?php
$username = "root";
$password = "password";
$hostname = "localhost";
$dbh = mysql_connect($hostname, $username, $password)
or die("Unable to connect to mysql");
print "connected to mysql<br>";
$selected = mysql_select_db("test",$dbh)
or die("Could not select first_test");
if (mysql_query("insert into test_table values('5')")) {
print "successfully inserted record";
else {
print "Failed to insert record";
mysql_close($dbh);
?>
This works, I can successfully insert a record. However, if I try and create
a connection in Dreamweaver with these same variables, I receive the message
"an unidentified error has occurred". I have tried, deleting the _mm
connection scripts folder and recreating them. I have used the mx2004 updater,
I have tried all document types... nothing seems to work...
i am using local server (phptraid)
PHPTriad 2.2 contains the following changes:

An unidentified error has occured? trying to connect with database for forms

I am new to website development and have been using dreamweaver for my website.
I am using WAMP server and have all my files on the host.
In dreamweaver when i add the database details:
connection name : connlogin
mySQLserver: localhost
username: root
password:
select database:
when i go to choose a database i get the error "an unidentified error has occurred"???
i try typing the database name and click test and still get the same error messages. all the tutorials i have been following say it should show the databases...
Just for clarity i have created my database and tables. I need to link my forms to the database.
I have searched online on various forums and cant seem to find a solution that works.
if anyone can help it will be much appreciated.
Thanks

Log into phpMyAdmin. Right hand frame, look for Privileges at the top. Can you verify that either % (wildcard) or "localhost" is listed for the user under the "host" field? And that the user has either all privileges or the necessary privileges on the database.

MySQL "An unidentified error has occurred"

I have just purchased Dreamweaver within the bundle of Master Collection CS5.5 Educational.
I have been using Dreamweaver since UltraDev days. However I have come up against this problem after installing Dreamweaver and trying to connect.
"An unidentified error has occurred"
I have used a few programs to identify what messages are being sent out and it appears that nothing is actually being sent from Dreamweaver.
I setup the site fine, so I can transfer files back and forth to the web server. The database is on a different server, and I can use MySQL Query to connect to the database from the same PC.
I can't seem to find what the issue is. I tried multiple mysql databases on different servers and the same issue. It seems Dreamweaver is not doing anything when I hit Test.
Any ideas?
Andrew

Well, I may be a little late on this answer... but maybe it will help. After a few hours of messing with this; I FINALLY figured it out.
First of all, you have to have your site settings as such:
Step One
Remote Server Settings
Server Name: *Insert Name
Connect using: FTP
FTP Address: yourdomain.com
Username: yourusername
Password: yourpassword
Root:
Web URL: http://yourdomain.com
Step Two
Testing Server Settings
Server Name: *Insert Name
Connect using: FTP
FTP Address: yourdomain.com
Username: yourusername
Password: yourpassword
Root:
Web URL: http://yourdomain.com
Click on the Advanced tab
Testing server
Server Model: PHP MySQL
Step Three (this is the tricky part, lol)
Click on file, then click New.
Create a NEW, I repeat... NEW PHP page.
Let it sit.
Step Four
Now enter your remote SQL settings.
Not sure why... but this worked for me after HOURS of:

There are two common reasons for that happening:
1. An incorrect testing server definition, or
2. A software firewall is blocking access between MySQL and
Dreamweaver.

"An unidentified error has occurred" when testing a recordset, asp, vbscript, cs4, with dsn or custm

Hi,
I have created a dsn and a connection string that test fine on my web host (crystaltech), but I get an unidentified error when I test them on DW CS4. Any thoughts?
This is my connection string:
"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source=D:\inetpub\bnicrossroadsconnections\dbs\members.mdb;"
which generates this code:
<%
' FileName="Connection_ado_conn_string.htm"
' Type="ADO"
' DesigntimeType="ADO"
' HTTP="true"
' Catalog=""
' Schema=""
Dim MM_testConn_STRING
MM_testConn_STRING = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source=D:\inetpub\bnicrossroadsconnections\dbs\members.mdb;"
%>
The connection include code is here: http://bnicrossroadsconnections.com/connections/testconn.asp
My dsn code is:
<%
' FileName="Connection_odbc_conn_dsn.htm"
' Type="ADO"
' DesigntimeType="ADO"
' HTTP="true"
' Catalog=""
' Schema=""
Dim MM_memberconn_STRING
MM_memberconn_STRING = "dsn=memberdsn;uid=bnixroads;pwd=pass;"
%>
The dsn include code is here: http://bnicrossroadsconnections.com/connections/memberconn.asp
What am I doing wrong?
This is on a Windows server and I have set the file permissions to the dbs folder to allow writes and deletes.
I tried moving a db and dsn from another site, where they work, and I get the same unidentified error on this site. I'm thinking I may have missed something with the host, but don't know what. Crystaltech says everything looks fine at their end, and IE throws no error messages.
Many thanks!!!

Thank you. I closed all firewalls and tried it but got the same error. Then I tried rebooting and restarting DW to no avail. So, I started clicking on the commands and on the site>advanced there is a Remove Connection Script command. I clicked that and retried creating the dynamic table and much to my surprise it worked. I think perhaps that it was a combination of your suggestion and getting rid of the old script that left it work. Thanks again for your help.
Best regards,

OSX "an unidentified error has occurred"

Howdy, Had been connecting to this site no problem for ages
using the same script I always have - suddenly it's not working
anymore. However the site still seems to be working online just
fine - so that suggests it's not the scripts but something broken
in Dreamweaver. Any suggestions on where to look?
I've tried creating a new site, directory etc. and connecting
to the same server but still no joy. It's odd because I can connect
using Navicat to edit the sql using exactly the same login info,
just DW won't see the DB.
Any help greatly appreciated!!!

Seems if I ditch all the old connection scripts, notes and
the _mmServerScripts folder and replace with a copy from a site
that works, then update the connection details, it all seems to
work.
So, at a guess, DW has screwed up an existing file somewhere
among these folders and you simply need to ditch everything and
start afresh.. well kinda afresh in my case. Don't care how it
works - it just does!

"An unidentified error has ocurred" when connecting to mySQL in Dreamweaver MX

Hi All,
I've been trying & failing to figure this out for 2 days. I hope someone can help! I installed xampp on my local machine, got the Apache server, phpMyAdmin, and SQL up and running. My next step is to connect to my MySQL database in Dreamweaver MX. This where I'm running into trouble.
I've given super access rights to several db users in my MySQL database just to be sure that it wasn't a matter of not-enough-permissions. Here is a screenshot of the privileges: http://www.skyebrannon.com/db_privs.jpg
I am sure my connection information is correct, as I've used it to create a php page that lists my database tables.Those are working just fine Here is my info:
        $dbhost = "localhost";
        $dbuser = "root";
        $dbpass = "dbpassword";
        $dbname = "camin0_music";
When I put the same information in my MySQL Connection, I get "An unidentified error has occured".
Here is a screenshot of the error and my (working) connection info:

PHP Connection to a MySQL database "An unidentified err has occurred"

This is driving me up the wall.... With my hosting provider
at work I cannot make a connection to a MySQL database with
dreamweaver using the new connection in the databases tab. "an
unidentified error has occurred"
I am certain that I am entering the info correctly and have
the correct permissions to access the database, I think it has to
do with the _mmServerScripts folder and the testing server.
With the hosting provider that I use for personal websites I
make connections all day long doing the exact same thing that I am
doing here at work and I'm stumped. I even read a lenghty article
on this forum with possible solutions... none of them worked.
Is there any way around the _mmServerScripts directory and
testing server to make a connection and then use the bindings and
server behaviors tabs to creat recordsets, etc??
Thanks in advance for any help!
George

Not if you want to use Dreamweaver server behaviors, no. The
usual
meaning of "an unidentified error has occurred" is failure to
connect
because communication is blocked by a firewall.

I'm having problems with iPhoto and the facebook set-up. Every time I attempt to do so it says an error has occured and try again later. I have not seen a solution posted. Therefore, how does one contact Apple to solve the problem? I'm new to the world of iMac but I find it a bit frustrating trying to solve basic issues/problems:(

For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices.
That all works.
It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now. They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
Thanks for listening,
Melissa

My iPad2 has repeatedly refused to update to iOS7, whether connected to a PC or not. The error message indicates an unknown error has occurred, with error code 6. Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be and how to solve it? Many thanks.

Hi
I followed this guy's instructions and it worked:
http://evsiphone.blogspot.com/2009/05/iphone-iphone-could-not-be-restored.html
I did disable the security (AVG and Zone Alarm) when I tried on my own PC. My wife's laptop which eventually got it working also uses AVG and Zone Alarm but on an XP O/S whereas my PC is Vista - maybe this is why.
Cheers for you help.

A communication error has occurred while invoking commands in SharePoint host process

Hi All,
I am using Virtual box to connect to Sharepoint 2013 VPC. Due to an unexpected sutdown of my machine the VPC got some issue. Now I restored it using my bak up file. But after this when I deploy my sharepoint 2013 farm solution Iam getting the following error.
Error occurred in deployment step 'Recycle IIS Application Pool': A communication error has occurred while invoking commands in SharePoint host process: The server did not provide a meaningful reply; this might be caused by a contract mismatch, a premature
session shutdown or an internal server error.
What could be the issue? Any suggestions ?
Thanks in advance...

Seems that the original issue of communication error has been solved, for this new issue, it is recommended that you open a new thread which can make others easier
to focus on one issue in one single thread.
