Configuring Testing Server

Question

I am running Mac OS X 10.5.1 with MAMP installed and running.
Using Safari, I can successfully access dynamic PHP pages located
in my htdocs folder. I am trying to set up a Testing Server in DW
CS3. In the Basic Site Definition dialogs for the Testing Server, I
set the following:
- Selected Edit and test locally (my testing server is on
this computer)"
- For Where on your computer to you want to store your files,
I entered: "MacintoshHD"Applications:MAMP:htdocs". (This is where I
can successfully run pages with Safari.)
- URL to browse to the root of your site: "
http://localhost:8888/"
When I click the Test URL button, I get the following error:
"Dreamweaver cannot use the prefix you entered to display
live data. Please double-check your site configuration or click
Help for more information on how to correct this porblem (HTTP
Error: 0)
Can anyone tell me what is going on here? Thanks in advance.
I am using the following URL in the site definition:
http://localhost:8888/PHPizabiTest/
