Database Connection using PHP/MySQL on OS X

I created a database connection originally on my XP machine
using Dreamweaver CS2 and everything worked as it should. I
recently switched to a Mac and CS3 and while I can see the
connection file in the Connections folder, it appears grayed out in
Dreamweaver. I tried to create a new data connection to see if that
would solve this problem, but it won't let me. I typed in all the
information and when I clicked "Test" or to browse for the
appropriate database it pops up an error message saying "An
unidentifiable error has occurred". I'm sure I could work around
this by manually coding everything, but I'm a novice in programming
and need to be able to use this feature. The worst thing about it,
is that anytime I have to make a change to the web page, even if
it's not regarding this section of code, it gets messed up. I have
made backups, but once they are opened on the Mac they are messed
up.
I'm using Dreamweaver CS3, PHP/MySQL on a remote server as I
still can't get my local web server functioning properly under
Leopard. Any help would be appreciated because I haven't been able
to find anything regarding this error online.

That usually means that something is preventing communication
between
Dreamweaver and the testing server. It could be a firewall or
anti-virus
software. In the Testing Server section of the Advanced tab
in Site
definition, Host directory and URL prefix should both point
to the same
place. The first is the physical path to the top level of
your site, the
second is the URL you enter into a browser address bar to get
to the
same location.

CS3 mysql database connection using php

Hi, this is my first time trying to connect to a database. I have created a mysql database with my hosting provider. I am also configured to use php. I have ready numerous threads on this topic, but am still confused.
I am getting the following error message:
When I enter the following information into the connection string, I get the following error Error http error code 404 file not found. The site does not map to ftp.readyhosting.com/_mmserverscripts/mmhttdb.php Is the location of mysql server correct? Connection name ? user defined ?aosprod?
Mysql server = aoswebeditor.readyhostingmysql.com. Also, this is not the same location as the web server.
The hosting company provides the following php code to connect to the database.
<?php
$link = mysql_connect('aoswebeditor.readyhostingmysql.com', 'aosweb', '*password*');
if (!$link) {
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
echo 'Connected successfully';
mysql_select_db(aos);
?>
Because of the connection dialog boxes in CS3, I have not used this php code but only used the mysql server aoswebeditor.readyhostingmysql.com.
My requirements are very simple, I want to use the same remote database for the dreamweaver connection for the remote and testing server.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks. George

First of all, you seem to be mixed up about terminology. ASP stands for Active Server Pages, and is a type of server technology similar to PHP. I think you mean ISP (Internet Service Provider). However, this is not correct, either. An ISP provides your connection to the internet. Although some ISPs also host websites for their customers, your website is normally located at a hosting company. You need to get that mixup out of the way. Otherwise, you might confuse people with future questions about ASP, when you actually mean something completely different.
OK, lecture over...
Your hosting company is following standard procedure by preventing remote access to MySQL databases. However, Dreamweaver does make it possible to use your remote database and website for testing purposes. It does so by uploading a hidden folder called _mmServerScripts to your remote server. This performs a local connection with your database, and then sends the results back to your local computer. When setting up your testing server definition in Dreamweaver, you need to provide the details as I indicated before. When creating a MySQL connection in Dreamweaver, fill in the server name and account details as given to you by your hosting company. If everything is set up correctly, you should be able to use your remote server and database for testing.
Having said that, it is much better to install a local testing environment. You'll find it faster, and it also lets you make mistakes (an essential part of the learning process) in the security of a closed environment. For details of how to set up a local testing environment, see this article in the Adobe Developer Connection.

Best way to update images using PHP / MySQL?

HI
I want to update images using PHP/MySQL, so users can update their images and maybe some other files but mainly images.
thanks

How messed up is this code?!
<?php
//connect to database
$con = mysql_connect("testhost","testuser","pass");
// file properies
$file = $_FILES['image']['tmp_name'];
if (!isset($file))
echo "please select an image";
else {
    $id = $_REQUEST['id_display'];
    $image = ($_FILES['image']['tmp_name']) ? file_get_contents ($_FILES['image']['tmp_name']) : '';
    $image_name = ($_FILES['image']['name']) ? addslashes($_FILES['image']['name']): '';
    $image_size = ($_FILES['image']['tmp_name']) ? getimagesize($_FILES['image']['tmp_name']): '';
    if ($image_size == FALSE)
    echo "You have not selected an image.";
    else {
        mysql_select_db("test_display", $con);
        mysql_query("UPDATE testtable SET image = '$image', imagename = '$image_name' WHERE id_display='$id'");

How to create database connection using DB2Driver in JDeveloper 10.1.2.1.0?

I am trying to create a JDeveloper/Data Connection using com.oracle.ias.jdbc.db2.DB2Driver. The driver is registered from a User Libraries: DataDirect JDBC. I have the following class path for the library:
E:\DataDirect\3.4\lib\YMdb2.jar;E:\DataDirect\3.4\lib\YMbase.jar;E:\DataDirect\3.4\lib\YMutil.jar
I have no trouble configuring the connection but when I test it and I got No suitable driver Vendor code 0. Whats wrong? I have successfully created several database connections using Oracle thin driver. This is first time I am using a third party driver. Has any one successfully create a database connection using the com.oracle.ias.jdbc.db2.DB2Driver?

Hi
Since the error points to the unavailability of the driver class,can you double check your library claspath entries again.
I just tried a DB2 connection using the following properties and the connection went through fine:
Driver class name: com.oracle.ias.jdbc.db2.DB2Driver
URL: jdbc:merant:db2://<host_name>:50000;DatabaseName=SAMPLE

CS6 Dreamweaver using PHP & MySQL - Delete Record Server Behavior?

When I try to insert the Delete Record server behavior. I get an error message about a DeleteRecord.js file, which seems to be missing or defective. I cannot use the server behavior. I have a file that I developed using CS5, and it does indeed delete the record, but does not proceed to the destination I want. I cannot change that except in the server behavior, so I'm stuck. I have noticed that server behaviors seem to disappear without apparent cause, as it seems to have in this case. I will appreciate any suggestions! Is there any way to embed a call to a target page manually? All is working WITHOUT the server behavior appearing, but I want to go to a confirmation display page that shows the record is indeed deleted, and we just return to the (now blank) delete confirmation page. That'll drive a user bonkers!
Thanks!
Delete Record in CS6 Dreamweaver using PHP & MySQL?

Well, your error message is self-explanatory.
DW stores ServerBehaviors in 'Configuration' folder in installation directory. If one of the behavior JS files is missing/ corrupt, you'll see the error message you just did.
I've uploaded a functional, proper version of DeleteRecord.js onto my site for you to download. Here's the link:
http://www.sudarshan.me/adobeforum/dw/app/behavior-js/DeleteRecord.zip
Download this file, extract it and put DeleteRecord.js file in your installation directory as follows. If prompted, 'replace' your local copy:
Mac: Applications > Adobe Dreamweaver CS6 > Configuration > ServerBehaviors > PHP_MySQL
Windows: C:\Users\Your User Name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS6\[language]\Configuration\ServerBehaviors\PHP_MySQL
It should work as expected.
If that still doesn't solve the problem, reset your DW preferences and cache and try doing it. Follow the instructions here to reset cache: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/494811

Using php-mysql module and Apache2.2 provided with FMS4.5

Hi,
we've recently downloaded and upgraded FMS from 3 to 4.5 on a server that has this configuration (before upgrading):
- Centos 5.5
- Apache 2.2.3
- mysql 5.0.77
- php 5.3.3
- perl 5.8.8
Everything was fined before upgrading since 3 years.
We decided to upgrade FMS to provide HLS to our customers.
Once we upgraded FMS and installed Apache that comes with the installer, we encountered lots of errors.
- no more php, all scripts were visible, so we had to reinstall php module; and by the way, how can't we have the logical directories for apache (like /etc/httpd/,...) instead of /opt/adobe/fms/Apache...
- no more perl, cgi script are also visible...
- and now, we are unable to connect to mysql database. Whatever we do, the following message appears:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect()
modules are in the right folders but no way....
If someone can help us,
regards,
Tony

i answer to myself:
I finally managed to do it.
The best way was this:
- backup the Apache folders from fms
- reinstall fms w/o apache
- reinstall properly the standard httpd ( i launched yum remove httpd before)
- copy modules from fms backup to /etc/httpd/modules so i havve specific modules
- update httpd.conf with adobe version (easy with Kompare)
restart httpd and fms
Now everything works well: php, mysql, cgi, ...

Problems connecting using MM.MySQL JDBC driver - Please Help

I have been trying to get the driver to work for the past two days and have hit a brick wall. If someone could offer any ideas on what other steps to try I would so much appreciate it. Here's the situation:
I'm working on Mac OS X.1, jdk 1.3, mysql (database) and using the mm.mysql driver version 2.0.6.1. I'm using a test script which loads the driver, tries to connect to the 'test' database (which doesn't require a username/password) and then prints out the systems date when successful.
//load the driver
Class.forName("org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver");
//Try connecting to db
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(jdbc:mysql:///test", "", "");
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
ResultSet rset = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT now();");
while (rset.next())
System.out.println(rset.getString(1));
// Close result set, statement and DB connection
rset.close();
stmt.close();
conn.close();
The problem is that everytime I run the script I get an error telling me that the driver could not be found:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver
��at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:200)
��at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
��at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:188)
��at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:297)
��at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.j
The mysql database is running in the background, the driver's path location has been added to my classpath and I've also tried modifying the driver name as well as using older versions of the driver itself, but still no luck. This needs to be up and running so I can finalize a project I've been working on. If anyone has any ideas on what I could possibly try next, I welcome the suggestions.
Thanks in advance.

I didn't realize you had to extract the information either.
Ok.. so I downloaded the latest jar file from sourceforge, extracted the data and IT WORKED!! Thank you so much. You saved my head from exploding.
Many thanks.

that you may have gotten fairly recently (found recently in sp2, but not
fixed in time for sp4)...
The exception above is an internal Oracle thin driver bug (it seems), so
the difference between sp2 and sp4 may have to do with the version of Oracle's

the thin driver, and trying the one from sp2, or the latest from oracle etc.
What is the full stacktrace of the exception? Is that it? No message?

Database connection using sqlplus

Hi All,
Can someone please do explain why am getting different result with the following scenarios:
scenario 1
1. I installed a database server and created a user ops$user1 identified externally.
2. I created a unix user user1 (on the same machine) and make it member of oinstall and dba groups, set the environment variables the same as the oracle user.
3. I create a database user user2 identified by password2
4. Login as user1
5. run sqlplus /nolog
6. conn / <----- connection successful
7. conn user2/password2 <---- connection successful
scenario 2
1. I created instantclient group and user (nologin) with home directory at /opt/instantclient (perm 750).
2. I installed instantclient together with sqlplus and put it in /opt/instantclient.
3. I modified the group profile of user1 by removing oinstall and dba, member it to instantclient group.
4. set environment variables PATH, ORACLE_SID, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, CLASSPATH to include /opt/instantclient folder.
5. Login as user1
6. run sqlplus /nolog
7. conn / <----- got an error, it says ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist
8. conn user2/password2 <---- the same error
9. conn user2/password2@oracle_sid <-- successful
How come when using instantclient I need to supply the oracle sid? What we need is to connect using instantclient and need not to specify the oracle sid. Is this possible?
Many thanks for those who will reply.

Jsp and database connection using bean

* I want create a bean to handle database connectivity.The
          <jsp:usebean> tag uses
          no argument constructor ..so I cannot pass the userid and password to
          the constructor.
          So how can I create a database connection when the user_id and password
          will be a part of parameter ?
          * Now I'm opening database connection in the jsp scriplets. Everytime I
          refresh the
          jsp page a new connection is created ? Is it not going to choke the
          database ? I cannot use connection pool because every user logs in with
          different userid.
          Thanks


You can pass your arguments in this way:
          <jsp:usebean id="myBean" scope="page"/>
          <jsp:setProperty name="myBean" property="userId", value=<%= user_id%>/>
          <jsp:setProperty name="myBean" property="password", value=<%=
          user_password%>/>
          of course, in your bean class, you should create two setter methods,
          setUserId and setPassword.
          Hopefully, this will help you.

How many number of database connections used in a transaction

Hi All,
We are using weblogic 8.1 with Oracle 9i both running on windows 2000. We are trying to estimate the potential resource usage in the system we are building. As part of this activity we want to find out how the database connections are used for entity beans -
If a session bean calls more than one entity beans
(each method in the entity bean doing one update) does weblogic use the same database connection for all the entity beans or does it use seperate connections ? Is such behaviour documented somewhere ?
Here the assumption is all the entity beans are linked to the same datasource.
If the (default) behaviour is to use seperate connections is there a way to make it use one connection across multiple entity beans.
Thanks
Kingshuk

Hi Bodapati,
Sorry for the delay in replying to this.
There is optimization, which will use the XA
connections from the pool. Can you tell me what your
observations are? I may be able to see if we can tune it.From our tests the XA driver too appear to make use of one connection only for the life of the transaction. There is a good document here explaining how it is ensured that only one connection is used - http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs81/oracle/trxjdbcx.html#1083132
Quoting from the above URL :
When a thread attempts to use a connection, the XA jDriver calls xa_open (and xa_start) to create the connection and associate it with the thread. After the database connection is created, the connection remains associated with the thread; the driver does not call xa_close. When the thread subsequently needs a database connection, it uses the same database connection associated with it, even though it appears to get and return a connection from the JDBC connection pool
I am not sure why you say the connections will be
blocked. One connection will be blocked only if you are > using non-XA driver to setup the pool, until the
transaction commits. For XA there is no need to reserve
the same connection for the transaction.Probably my understanding on this is incorrect and I need to read up. I was under the impression that - once a transaction begins, each connection used within that transaction, is enlisted as a part of that transaction and can not be used by in another transaction until the transaction commits or rollsback.
Thanks

How to make common database connection using bean, etc.

anyone know how to make a coomon database connection because on my web pages each of them need to connect on the database for their specific objectives... please help
regards
blingbling
Edited by: BlingBling15 on Oct 22, 2007 1:16 PM

Making a 'common' connection and passing it around is a bad idea. And making a new connection on every page, as you seem to have already guessed, also involves an overhead that you can do without.
Like drvijayj2k2 has mentioned, you should use connection pooling.
Take a look at the Apache Commons DBCP [1] and it's examples [2].
