Cannot save a php file in dreamweaver:access denied

I am taking a course in PHP. I am using the environment download XAMPP, and working directly in dreamweaver. My very first project is the traditional Hello World script, a simple echo command... When I go to save the file, Dreamweaver gives me an error message :"Access to Macintosh:Applications:XAMPP:htdocs:Hello.php was denied." No other file name works, even saving a simple page with nothing but premade code on it works... I am stuck and stumped.

Hello Allen.
I don't think Firefox supports the vCard format by default... But you may want to try this extension, as I think it's what you want:

I hope this helps.

Can't edit php files in dreamweaver, access to site root denied

Can anyone help me please?
I've recently purchased a Macbook Pro after my PCs failed on me and also had to get a Creative Suite Web Premium. I have always used Dreamweaver to edit my php files. In Windows XP, I had to run the programme to run as an Administrator to edit php files. Now I have not a clue how to do it on Mac! Each time I tried to save a php file, a dialog box appear stating: Access to Macintosh
HD:Library:Webserver:Documents:Untitled-1.php was denied
Regards
Sinead

You shouldn't have to do that on the Mac or Windows. Only thing I could find that would suggest loading files from there is a tutorial by David. And although I would normally agree with him, keeping the files in a system library folder for a testing environment is really unnecessary. I'd recommend moving them into your /Users/{username}/Sites folder. There is already a modification to the apache server to recognize that as http://localhost/~{username}. Or install something like MAMP that is in the Applications folder.

Just upgraded to Mavericks. Now I cannot access scans from my hp scanner. After it complete the scans and I try to save as tiff, jpeg or pdf I get a either a grey blur or a message that says cannot save because the file cannot be written to.

I did not have any problems before the upgrade. I would greatly appreciate any light shed on this.

Go to the HP site and look for drivers for your scanner. It apparently needs an updated driver to work with Mavericks.

Cannot save changes to files on raid

Background - G5 xServe, xRAID - 6 Folders shared out to mixed environment, OS X, XP Pro and Vista. I am in the Administrators group and have full access to all folders on RAID. Admin group has four members 3 on Vista 1 XP. I can open and change/delete/create new from my Mac Pro without a hitch.
We can all read files, but we cannot open a file on the raid and make a change and save from Vista - X and XP are fine. Have tried everything under the sun for Vista file sharing issues and I hate to say it, it doesn't appear to be Vista.
If I open a Excel file change one cell and then try to save i get the following message " Access Denied. Contact your Administrator" or "Destination Folder Access Denied". On all of the shared folders with the exception of one. That folder I can change whatever I want and save.
The ACL and POSIX look to be good and match for the administrators group.
I have no problem dropping the file on my desktop and then opening and making changes and copying back to the shared folder, but our CIO would prefer to make the simple changes and then save it without the extra steps.
Before anyone bashes Vista, the error message indicates that it coming from the shared folder and is getting it's information/permission from there.

I found the answer in another post - here is what I did. Stop SMB service, opened up my favorite text editor and navigated to the /etc/smb.conf file and added the line *acl check permissions = no*. Restarted SMB service, logged in from my Vista box and saved changes without a hitch.

Cancel cannot save to the file because it is in use

Hi guys,
From a couple of days ago i cannot export ANY pdf file in InDesign withouth the "cannot save to the file because it is in use by one or more background tasks". It seems there is a "temporary files" are saving. So the trick is to delete the file from the Finder and save the PDF again. It is annoying that i cannot replace the pdf directly with the same name.
Can i override this situation?
Any help or ideas?
Thanks

Thanks for the fast reply
Actually i learn before from a forum that could be an issue so i take care so the file is not marked. Nevertheless it keeps telling me the file is in use. What could it be?
Cheers

My biggest 'pain' at the moment is that every time I go to change then save a Photoshop CS3 file it says 'cannot save as the file as it has been left open or is in use by another application'

Rule Number One - NEVER go directly uinto the iPhoto library - there are no user servicable parts in it and making any change no matter how small can corrupt your library and cause data or photo loss
Exactly how were you trying to save a copy of your iPhoto library?
Albumdata.xml does not contain your photos - and again NEVER make any changes to the content of the iPhoto library - no dragging - no changes - never go into the library
We need to know exactly what you did
And probalby the easiest solution is to load your backup from before you messed things up
For reference after you get things working
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

Using PHP files in Dreamweaver?

When I create a new PHP file in Dreamweaver the code is the same as an HTML file, shouldn't be different? with php commands or something?
Thanks

When I create a new PHP file in Dreamweaver the code is the same as an HTML file, shouldn't be different? with php commands or something?
Not unless you add them. PHP is a server-side programming language. PHP web pages are no different than HTML pages except that they can parse data on the server. With the right include statements or commands, PHP or ASP pages can publish information from server-side databases to form a dynamically driven web site.

Cannot save the downloaded files

Hello,
I usually downloaded the scientific paper (pdf file) from many sites. After I use the Adobe acrobat 9, I cannot save these pdf files which is on the window.
I usually downloaded from 'ScienceDirect' site. Download process is good. But when I click the save icon on the acrobat, there is no response.
I use Window Vista x64.
What should I do?

Save As. The save button should be greyed out since it is already saved to your TEMP folder as you are viewing it.

Hello:
I am very much a novice with Final Cut. I am trying to import some video files from my desktop but keep getting an error message that says, "File error 1 file recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown". The file type is .mov, 35MB, 1920 x 1080, Codec MPEG-2 video linear PCM timecode, color profile HD (1+1+1). Can someone help? Thanks, Paul

You can't import MPEG-2 files directly to FCP X.
Can you play this file in Quicktime Player? If so, then you can use the free program MPEG Streamclip to convert this to Quicktime. Use the ProRes codec.

Be careful, FCP is an open system which is great, but it allows you to work with formats that are not completely compatible with fcp and can cause serious problems down the road. You can check the formats of all audio files brought into fcp by selecting them in the browser and hitting command-9, Use compressor to convert all audio files to 48k 16 bit aiffs before importing to fcp. There's a preset for this format in the apple presets. You mention video files. The same thing holds. In particular, avoid bringing in h264 quicktime movies. Convert to an fcp friendly format like prores using compressor.

setting up a php site in dreamweaver.
I am taking a class in PHP. I am following instructions to set up my work environment in Dreamweaver. I am using an Imac, dual core, running snow leopard, and have loaded xampp onto my machine. Dreamweaver version CS3.
Class instructions say to set up my local site with following path: Applications/xampp/htdocs. My DW wants me to use : instead of /, so when I set up the local site, this is what my path looks like. Macintosh HD:Applications:XAMPP:xamppfiles:htdocs:
When I try to save my first page, as a .php, I get the following error message: Access to MacintoshHD:applications:XAMPP:xamppfiles:htdocs:hello.php was denied. I get this error message on both of my macs, so it is a problem in my path, not individual to my machine.
There is something wrong with my path, but I don't know what it is. I cannot create path with / instead of :, DW won't allow it. I tried creating a path exactly as instructed in the lesson, but that did not help. I don't know what I am missing because I am just starting so I don't know what to look for. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance....

You should setup the built-in php instead of xampp on Snow Leopard. Look here for more info

Then when you setup your local site use HD_Name:Users:User_Account_Name:Sites:Website_Folder:

Can't view Wordpress PHP files in Dreamweaver CC.

Mac. MAMP.
I have downloaded my full site hosted on xxxx into MAMP htdocs.
Download directly from root public_html on host.
I keep getting "Dynamically-related files could not be resolved because the site definition is not correct for this server"
Even if I go "live view" and set - Web URL to: www.indochinaexplorers.com (my site) - instead of http://localhost, it comes up with a lot of PHP boxes.
Been through all tutorials for more than a week.
Have been through all possible settings and configurations under "Manage Site"
Did a Test - New PHP page. Same thing, it does not show, design or live view.
So stuck,
Thanks Peter

I have the same issue and none of the alleged Guru's that answered have provided anything useful. Solid Web Design is about workflow, which could lead to innovation if people would stop reverse innovation language...Dreamweaver could be a viable wordpress solution if it worked as it's supposed to. CC is a bust as the focus has shifted to mobile first.
There are no "real pages" for you to edit in DW; just code fragments.
Wordpress is dynamically driven but this is untrue. Every PHP file in a theme has structure and is a "real page". Fragments have to be in a "file" to be called, they are not called out of thin air. If I want to style page.php, it cannot be done without first adding selectors. #mainContent for example. The only thing php does is add dynamic functionality. Page.php can be altered and saved as Page_fullwidth.php, Page_Music.php ,Page_webDesign.php and they can all have a different layout in the same theme. Else there would be no templates to choose from in the static page section of the WP Admin area.
Themes drive the appearance and functionality of your WP site. If you need a new look, find a different Theme and install it from your WP Dashboard.
How does this help?
Unless you are very familiar with PHP code and more specifically the PHP code WP uses, you will not have good results working in DW. You really must use the WP Dashboard to manage your content, Themes, and plugins.
This has nothing to do with the issue. The issue is Dreamweaver simply does not allow propper editing of wordpress sites in a dynamic environment. No one ever said they didn't know anything about php, creating wordpress themes, plugins, and so on...
Dear next genius..Since the question has already been asked, I won't ask it again, but the original inquiry is my issue as well. If you have figured out how to make this work, please respond, if not, please don't.

Cannot 'save' a pdf file in AR 10.0.1

I just upgraded to AR 10.0.1. I'm running W7(64). When I download a PDF file and it is on the screen
there is no option anywhere to 'save' the file. At the bottom of the page, in the center, appears a
'fluttering' oval containing the Save, Print, etc options but it disappears and, after awhile, reappears.
But in no cases will the cursor placed over any of the symbols effect any operation at all. Nothing
happens and the 'options oval' constantly appears and disappears.
Before I upgraded to 10.0.1, I was on AR 9. On that version, when I downloaded the same PDF file
and it was on the screen, there were the standard AR options at the top but, then, when I clicked on the
file save icon, I got an 'access denied' message. Not knowing what that meant, when I saw the option
to upgrade to 10.0.1, I took it to see if that problem would go away. It did, I guess, but now have a new
one.
Any thoughts or help?

This is one of the things which appears to be currently missing from iMovie 10. The easiest workaround would be to take a screenshot of the viewer after setting it to full screen. See also:

Cannot save to this file name

I am working with CS3. My problem is that everytime I hit save on a document I get the following error message:
Cannot save to this filename. Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder.
This message seems to be coming up everytime I go to rewrite a file. I hit ok and then hit the save button one more time and it saves the message.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Are you saving to a network? Is a virus scanner/ protection tool running on your system? The issue most likely is caused by some of these processes locking files and only releasing them when you hit the save a second time (as the previous attempt will already cause a system request to update the timestamp)...
