Connecting to a LIVE mySQL database via Dreamweaver (ASP)

Hi All,
Have a bit of of an issue with connecting to my live database... I've created several sites in PHP and each time its been really easy to set up a connection to the live database (on a shared server), and work using live data... but I can't figure out how to do it when working on an ASP (vb) site!? Can anyone direct my on how to do it please? ... or direct to some documentation on the subject? Cheers!
Regards,
Dan

Sorry for jumping into the thread with a bit of an off topic question, but how do you find out what kind of a db the asp server is using? I've asked my company's web host a number of times for info/help in getting connected using Dreamweaver so I can redesign our site and I never hear back from them. It's a very specialized web hosting server set up for rubber stamp web sites. Looks like most of their customers use the online website design tool that they provide, but it is very limited in what it can do. Very limited.
They give me ftp access and I've changed what I can on the page, but with out access to the db it's hard to really change the look of the site.

Connecting to database via Dreamweaver

Hi All
I am trying to build a site using asp.net and SQL Server via
Dreamweaver.!!!! To help me on my way I decided to build a tiny
test site just to establish the connections. However, try as I
might I can’t make a connection to a database and am now
rapidly loosing the will to live due to the quite unbelievable time
I have spent trying to sort this out. Now this post is my last best
chance.
I am trying to connect to either of the databases that come
with the freebee SQL Server package (Is it called express or
something?). They are pubs and Northwind.
I am using Dreamweaver 8, XP Professional with the .Net
framework v2.0 and IIS.
However, when testing the connection in Dreamweaver I get a
choice of two different error messages depending on my
computer’s mood (I don’t change ANYTHING) The first is
the beautifully succinct and entirely unhelpful “an
unidentified error has occurred”. The second reads:
1) There is no testing server running on the server machine
2) The testing server specified for this site does not map to
the
ttp://Localhost/RootFolder/_mmServerScripts/MMHTTPDB.asp URL,
Verify that the URL Prefix maps to the root of the site.
After more hours trawling the net for answers, than I care to
admit to I decided in desperation to try out the Dreamweaver
tutorial that deals with these things (Café Townsend) to see
if it offered any clues. However, when attempting to connect to the
database (tutorial.mdb) I get the same two error messages:
“an unidentified error has occurred”.
1) There is no testing server running on the server machine
2) The testing server specified for this site does not map to
the
ttp://Localhost/MySampleApps/_mmServerScripts/MMHTTPDB.asp
URL, Verify that the URL Prefix maps to the root of the site. Again
dependent on my computer’s mood.
I am convinced that I have all the necessary components in
place and my connection strings are correct (I am aware that the
path given in the Dreamweaver tutorial for Café Townsend is
incorrect and have altered the string accordingly).
I now strongly believe the problem is something to do with
the MMHTTPDB.asp file in the _mmServerScripts folder but could
easily be wrong.
Does anyone know of a problem with Dreamweaver of this nature
or one that would result in my error message for either an Access
database or a SQL Server database?
I know Dreamweaver MX had a problem viewing database tables
whilst using .net and Adobe created a patch to fix the problem. Has
Dreamweaver 8 any similar problems?
I’m sorry this post is a bit long but trust me I could
have made it three times as long if I included everything I have
tried to resolve this!
Any help in the right direction would be appreciated more
than you can imagine.
Cheers
Burnsie

Connecting a MYSQL database in Dreamweaver

Hi All,
I'm tryting to connect a mysql database based locally and am getting the error:
HTTP Error Code 404 File Not Found. Here are some possible reasons for the problem:
1) There is no testing server running on the server machine.
2) The testing server specified for this site does not map to the http://localhost/_mmServerScripts/MMHTTPDB.php. Verify that
the URL Prefix maps to the root of the site.
What does this mean?
How do I start the testing server? I'm unable to locate the folder where the database files are stored as the database has been created locally on my machine. Everything hace been created locally so I know that point 2) could well be irrelavant.
Please can somebody help?
Many Thanks
Gordon

The functions for connecting to a database were mostly deprecated. But if you enable them in CS6 Cloud/CC then they will be the same.

MySQL databases and dreamweaver

Please, somebody help me!!
I am on a Mac. I have my site up but can't use it because of
the database issues I am having.
1. I don't write code - hence my purchase of Dreamweaver
2. My host will not allow me to connect to MySQL
(server-side) and suggested I try an SSH. I got Navicat.
It seems I need to connect to the database through
Dreamweaver in order to create my PHP pages. I don't know how to do
it or if it is possible using an SSH (Navicat)
Also I don't understand the whole "test server" thing. It was
suggested I connect my Mac to a Windows machine to create a testing
server. Is this really necessary? I have an external hard drive
with tons of space. Can I use that? Are there any other options? I
don't know a single Mac user who has a spare windows machine lying
around.
My site is ready to go but useless unless I can this
database-access problem solved. I need to create PHP pages but
cannot do it without some sort of access to my database.
Please HELP!!!

See if this helps:

Connecting to an online mysql database

Good morning,
I've been developing a website using Dreamweaver, Coldfusion,
and MySQL on my local computer. On the localhost the website works
well. Now I'm ready to upload my pages and need to update the data
source so my pages can access the MySQL databases hosted by
GoDaddy.com. I've had no luck talking with their customer service
about which driver / which port I should use to make the
connection. I understand that Remote Development Services (RDS) is
disabled on their server. Am I missing any steps? Any ideas?
Thanks,
Tony

Problem connecting my webservice to mysql database

Hi,
I am trying to connect a webservice to a mysql database. I am using sun application server 8.1 and Mysql 4.1.
I have been using the application servers examples to achieve my goals thus far. I have made the following progress.
- I have got a simple jdbc web application on the application server to access my mysql database.
- I have got a web service on the application server to work properly, in regards to performing a simple rpc method such as 'sayHello'.
- I now want my webservice to have similar functionality to the jdbc application. A simple query or update to the database installed on the application server invoked from the webservice deployed on the application server.
I have been having difficulty in achieveing this. I don't understand why I can't get this to work as i can achieve access to the database from the jdbc app. I am getting the following errors on the application server log:

I can't think of what the problem may be other then the following issues:
- the mysql database would allow access from the jdbc application as it is seen as a local process whereas it may not for the webservice as it is seen as a remote process???
- I may need to utilize a different datasource class to give the webservice access rights?
Any help or advice in how this problem might be resolved or even just what it is would help me greatly. Thanks for you time in advance.

Submitting Pdf form fields to a MySQL database via PhP

Hi there,
I have recently created a Pdf in Adobe LiveCycle which looks great, and I have added a submit button which is set up to send all the form data in HTML to a PhP file on the server side. The PhP file then collects the form data and inserts it into my MySQL database.
When I run this form from Adobe reader or Professional it works great and the new record is inserted in the database. However I am trying to embed the form into a HTML page, which again looks fine, and all other buttons i.e. Save As, Print work fine.
The submit button however is not working properly now. It inserts a new record into my database, but the fields are blank as if the form data has not been sent or received?
Can you possibly advise me where i'm going wrong.
Much appreciated
Cane

Hi Cane,
I'm relatively new to creating Adobe Forms but I'm looking to do exactly what you have set up, submitting the results to php which sends the results to a database. I don't like the responses being sent to a pdf response file then every so often you have to export to csv then import the results into a database....too tedious. Can you perhaps provide the code that goes behind the submit button and maybe the code that you use on the php/server side? Again, relatively new to this and don't know where to begin but if I can look at the code behind this it would make things a lot easier.
Thanks,
Ed

It sounds as though you have not defined the testing server
correctly in
your Dreamweaver site definition.

You should not store images inside the database. Or if you
do, you need
to write a proxy script to display them. The normal procedure
is to
store the details of images (such as filename) in the
database, but keep
the images themselves in the normal file system. Use the
filename from
the recordset result to build the <img> tag to display
the image.
> mysql_connect("","","");
Using mysql_connect() with only empty strings as arguments
means you
have a totally unprotected database.

Unable to connect to MySQL database in Dreamweaver CS3

I have been working on this problem for hours and am getting
very frustrated. I hope someone can help me out.
My FTP server and MYSQL server have to use two different
hosts.
I will be using false information in this post but hopefully
someone can help me out.
FTP info
domainname.com
username
password
MySQL info
123.servername.com
dblogin
dbpass
port: 3306
Now im sure the problem lies with the Testing Server.
Server Model: PHP MYSQL
Access: FTP
FTP Host:domainname.com
host directory: web/htdoc (this is the folder which holds ALL
of the files which can be reached by domainname.com)
login: username
password: password
url prefix:
http://www.domainname.com
when i try to use this information and then add a database
using the (+) I get access denied errors.
I have tried using 'localhost' as the server and
'123.servername.com'
I should mention that I am able to connect to the database
remotely using the same information using software such as SQL
Maestro, so I know that it isnt the database.
can someone who has successfully done this kind of connection
please tell me what is supposed to go where, the help documents are
horrible at best.

This may, or may not, help...

Help on working with MySQL databases in Dreamweaver

I am new to the world of dynamic webpages. I have been
following along on the Lynda.com videos Dreamweaver CS3: Beyond the
Basics, and Dreamweaver CS3: Dynamic Development, and have
basically got it figured out for doing stuff on my local computer.
However, I can't quite figure out what steps I have to take so that
I can take my database driven site live. I use hosting with both
ASTHost and GoDaddy. My hosting with each, I believe, is on Linux
servers (GoDaddy for sure Linux, ASTHost may be MS). I am designing
with DW CS3, and using WAMP as the PHP server on my pc. I am also
using MySQL version 5.0. My PHP version is 5.1.2 with ASTHost and
GoDaddy.
Can anyone point me to a good tutorial or site that explains
how to move the site from your own pc at home onto a hosting server
and make it work? I have tried a few things, but keep running into
MySQL errors.

I have seen a good solution at http://webdesignsolutions.co.in/add-phtml-extension-in-dreamweaver , this is very simple.
