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

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.

Cannot connect to database via TNS

Hello!
I installed XE with default settings and have some trouble. I cannot connect to database via TNS. Two symptoms:
1. I can connect with SQLPLUS system/pwd (locally, without tns name input), but CANNOT connect with SQLPLUS system/pwd@EX (WITH TNS NAME input).
2. I cannot start Database Home Page.
How to avoid this problem? Any ideas?

I successfully connect with XE client to another Oracle databases from LAN, including 8i and 9i databases.
But cannot connect from another machines to my XE.

Can not connect the database via query string (C#). The SQL Server Management Studio is showing the full path of a location instead of database name.

I can not connect to the database via C#. The database is showing full path of the database file instead of the database name. See the pic: a database showing only name 'emart' and the other database showing the full path.
: Robby

Hi,
According to your post, I know that the database name is showing file path of the database rather than the database name in SQL Server Management Studio. You were not able to
establish a connection to the database using C#.
As Olaf said, was any error message thrown out when the connection failed? How did you create these databases?
You can use the following T-SQL to attach the database and see if the issue persists.
CREATE DATABASE
databasename
ON (FILENAME = 'filepath _Data.mdf'),
(FILENAME = 'filepath_Log.ldf')
FOR ATTACH;
Thanks.

Cannot connect to database via JApplet

Hi,
I created a Java application which allows me to send information to my mysql database using the jdbc connector via a JFrame. However when i modified the file to be a JApplet the info will not sent and i cannot connect to the database? Any particular reason for this?
I need it to be a JApplet so i can add it to a browser window.
Code: ( java )
private void save ()
Connection conn = null;
try
Statement stmt;
String userName = "root";
String password = "PASSWORD";
String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/DATABASE";
Class.forName ("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance ();
conn = DriverManager.getConnection (url, userName, password);
System.out.println ("Database connection established");
//Get a statement object
stmt = conn.createStatement();
stmt.executeUpdate( "INSERT INTO TABLE(Info i know to put in) VALUES('Values i know to put in')");
catch (Exception e)
System.err.println ("Cannot connect to database server");
finally
{if (conn != null)
{try
{conn.close ();
System.out.println ("Database connection terminated");
catch (Exception e) { /* ignore close errors*/ }
As i said above it works fine as a JFrame but not as a JApplet. Any help would be great.
Thanks G

Your error reporting is not good. You print a meanningless message or ignore the error.
Print the stacktrace in the catch blocks.
Change the code, rerun it and then check the Java Console for output.
I'm guessing you'll see a security error. Unsigned applets can't access the client file system. If so, sign the applet.

Connect to database via another machine

We have a machine that is setup with a VPN connection to a database outside our firewall. Whenever we need to access this database we make a remote desktop connection to this machine.
We would like to be able to connect to the database directly from our workstation using the machine with the VPN connection as a gateway.
Any pointers in the right direction are welcome.

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

Can't "connect to database" from Dreamweaver CS3

This question maybe more appropriate for the PHP or MySQL Forum but since the problem is encountered in Dreamweaver CS3, I am going to first try getting help on this Forum.
I have a LINUX CentOS 5.3 Server with Apache (httpd-2.2.3) & PHP-5.1.6 installed. I also have a text site; httpd://ip.tib.com on it.
I am using a WinXP with DW CS3 to develop & test the above web site. Currently I am trying to setup a test dynamic page and am reading Dreamweaver USER GUIDE page 514 Chapter “Database Connections for PHP Developer”.
FYI, the Remote & Test Servers are setup for the web site under construction and connections to both are tested successfully from DW CS3.
Now when I try to test “Connect to a database” (Dreamweaver USER GUIDE page 514) , I get the following error message:
Your PHP server doesn’t have the MySQL module loaded or you can’t use mysql_(p)connect function.
First of all, I can connect to the MySQL server and create/edit/delete tables from WinXP using Navicat Package. I have looked into “php.ini” on the LINUX server but can’t figure out what changes I need?
Any help is highly appreciated.

I have resolved this problem.
PHP 5.3 no longer bundles the MySQL libraries. I couldnot find the missing libraries anywhere. I switched back toolder versions of both MySQL & PHP, where MySQLlibraries are bundled with PHP package.
Problem solved.

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.

Using mysql_connect() with only empty strings as arguments
means you
have a totally unprotected database.

Badri

If your testing server is XAMPP or MAMP, you should put your site files in the htdocs folder of your local testing server.
C:\xampp\htdocs\YourSiteName
C:\mamp\htdocs\YourSiteName
If you use WAMP server, you should put your site files inside www folder.
C:\wamp\www\YourSiteName\
These are the default directories used by localhost when previewing in browsers.
Then define your local testing server in DW. See screenshots.

If you haven't already, log-in to your local server's phpMyAdmin to create an SQL database and table.

Unable to connect to database via other software.

I have narrowed down all the problems i am having to Oracle XE. I have written a bit of software which uses Crystal Reports. The crystal reports work in the software and attach to the database and get the results when the software is installed on a machine which has Oracle XE installed (full database not just the client) even if the database the crystal report actually attaches to is not on this machine.
If the software is installed on a machine with only the Oracle XE client installed on i get connection errors every time i try and get the Crystal Reports to run in the software.
What files do i need to have on these client machines to get rid of these connection errors?

Please ... don't make us guess.
At the least, give us a hint what the messages are. Cutting and pasting from the actual session would be best.
Right now, I am guessing you use Windows and that you have only tried connecting to an Oracle database that runs on Windows. But that is a guess.
I'm also guessing that you have not set up the Oracle 'tnsnames.ora' file (or used any other naming resolution mechanism) on the machine with crytstal reports and XE.
I have about 93 other guesses I could make as well. Many of which are not useful.
