Defining Site and Test Server IIS PFP MySQL

I have IIS, PHP and MySQL all running OK, have my DB loaded.
I did all the tutorials and had things working.
I'm now trying to add to my "real" site and real DB and I'm
not sure exacty what goes where in the site definition.
I was able to get the connection document created, but can't
get the bindings panel to ungrey the + to add recordset.
Tried moving the whole site from MyDocuments to the
InetPub/wwwroot folder, but now dreamweaver's really confused.
Help please.

I think you just need to open a .php document.

Remote and Testing Server Site Definitions

I am confused about what information I should put in my
remote site definition info and testing server FTC Host directory
text boxes. My host placed 3 directories: database, log, and www on
my server and Dreamweaver placed two directories, Connections and
_mmServerScripts in the same directory as the above 3. I have
placed all of my site files, including my home page and folders in
the www directory and my Access database in the database directory.
Dreamweaver placed the connection info in the Connections folder an
d _mmServerScripts in the same directory.
In order to construct my local site to match the remote site,
I created a www folder on my local site and placed all of my HTML
files and supporting folders in it.
From various Adobe Tech Notes I have read, I was led to
believe my FTP host directory
Should be www/. However, when I do this and create a new web
page on my local site and upload it to my remote site, Dreamweaver
creates a new www directory inside of the one my host created on
the remote site and uploads the file to it instead of placing it in
the www directory my host created. Also, when I use F12 to test my
page in my browser I get a 404 page not found because Dreamweaver
placed a www in the page URL that shouldn’t be there and
after I remove it I’m able to see my page in my browser. My
URL prefix on my testing server site definition is:
http://I.P.number.html.
What am I not doing right?
Should I use www/ as my FTP host directory or leave it blank?
Also, what should my URL prefix be?
Thanks for your help.

What you need to do is set up so that in the remote server
you point to the
www level on the server, and don't replicate this locally.

Set up the Site's Testing Server

Hello All!
SIMPLY CANNOT "Set up the Site's Testing Server"!!
I had a Database set up working great. Then I got a message,
"Set up
the Site's Testing Server". Never could get it to work again.
So I said forget it...toooo hard....I'll just continue making
this
stupid page in PHP. Well now the page is made in PHP but I
still can't
test it locally. Isn't that the purpose of having a Server on
your machine?
What is the problem: the Php, the Apache,...it seems to me
it's DW?
Are there any companies in Los Angeles CA that will help
developers just
troubleshoot the configuration and set up of a developing
computer?
Just feel so mad and totally STUCK!!

Create a PHP page that contains this -
<?php php_info(); ?>
in the body. Preview it. What do you see?

Remote and Testing Server FTP Problems

I have a Dreamweaver site defined. I have an 2 domains and 2
FTP accounts. I am using one for my remote server and one for my
testing server. When I go to preview, it uploads the file to the
remote server instead of the testing server. Then it goes and tries
to view the file on the testing server and there is a file not
found error. If I try the same thing but use 2 network drives or 1
network drive and 1 FTP account (remote or testing), everything
works as expected. Any ideas why this happens?

Sounds like you are properly configured. I don't have a good
idea why this
is not working....

Remote and testing server don't see root relative links the same

My site works fine on my testing server (Apache, MYSQL,
PHP). I use root relative links in a library
file (include file) so that it will work with all pages. For the testing server these links look like this:
/my_sites_root_folder/aaa/bbb/ccc etc.
If I use these same links on the remote server they won't work. To get hem to work I have to change all these links to the form
/aaa/bbb/ccc etc.
When dreamweaver uploads files to the remote server, the site name folder (my_sites_root_folder) doesn't go along for the ride--just the files in it. So on the remote all the site files are stored in htdocs. On my testing server, the files are stored in htdocs/my_site_root_folder.
I think it must have something to do with the way I'm setting up the remote and testing servers, but I'm read a hundred pages of instructions without being able to figure it out. I think I'm just seeing something wrong, but I've already spent days on this. Can someone please point me in the right direction?
I'm using DWCS5. Internet explorer 8, Windows 7.

Thank you for your prompt response. I'm afraid I'm still totally puzzled here. It sounds like you're very knowledeable about your comments, but I would like to know more. I accept that using the local site root in links would be bad, but I'm not clear WHY. Structuring the links as I have doesn't cause any links to break. I've structured them this way because it's the only way I can find that everything works. But I still do not understand WHY I have to do it. Using different libary include files doesn't seem like a good way to go, though
You suggest that if I use any root relative links at all, I need to use vitual hosts. I'm not finding any good coverage of what these are, and especially why they are necessary. If this is the case, does that imply that templates (which use root relative links) also will not work on the test server (at least without vitual hosts)? The conclusion I'm coming up with, given your remarks, is "Dreamweaver doesn't work with root relevant links when you're trying to test a site with a test server." Is this right?

Remote and testing server set up

I want to upload to the server some php pages containing a registration form, log in, and membership directory. I am able to get everything working ON MY COMPUTER (not shouting - just for emphasis) using wamp server. I am completely confused about how to get it on the server. I have tried creating a test database at the server but I am confused about how to connect. Do I need to set up both a remote and a testing server in the site setup on DW (CS5.5)? I think the problem is with the database setup form, that is, databases - + - mySLQ connection. What do I put in the form fields?
So far, I have tried, among other things,
Connection name: myusername_testform
mySLQ connection: localhost
Username: the one I set up at the server
Password: the one I set up at the server
Database: myusername_testform
and I get the following error message when I test it:
HTTP error code file not found etc.
possible reasons:
1. There is no testing server running on the server machine.
2. The testing server specified to this site does not map to the the http://ftp.mysite.com/_mmserverscripts/MMHTTPDB.php URL. Verify that the URL prefix maps to the root of the site.
I have contacted the server and have tried to understand their answers but have had no success in getting this done.
Any help would be much appreciated. I am really new to php and forms and databases, so please keep it as simple as possible. Thanks

Thanks very much for responding. Sorry - I'm not quite sure what you mean. I initially did all the set up steps (set up local server, create database in wamp phpMyAdmin, create a members directory, create a registration page, create a log in form) and I got all of that to work on my computer. Now I want to upload the forms and database to the server. Rather than use the database that I had originally set up on my computer, I set up a new test one with with one table and only a few categories using the phpMyAdmin on the control panel for the site. Where is that database? Is it at the server? What I'm confused about is this: How do I connect to the database at the server? Do I need to set up the site the same way as I did when it was only on my computer, i.e., set up a remote server AND a testing server? Or do I just need to set up the remote server? In either case, how do I add the database to the site using mySQL connection? I think the problem is with what I type into the form field "my SQL connection" but I really don't know. I'm so confused lol

Issue with Setting Up Test Server for PHP/MySQL to work

I've got a few newbie issues
which I hope someone can help with!
I'm trying to get Security Assist to work, so I've put MYSQL and workbench on my computer to get it going. I haven't created a test server in PHP, because I'm wondering if it will affect my already running website ftp? Will it take down my company website if I create a test server with the same ftp as my website?
So, I created a model in workbench (table) and I've tried to connect mysql to dreamweaver. I keep getting an error when I try to connect!
Despite the error saying an error has occurred..I have something which looks like a plus (+) sitting in my database area on DW, but it says there's no tables there! And in mysql there is a table!
I'm a bit bloody lost to tell you the truth. Just changing the password on mysql to get going was horrendous.
Anybody have a solution to get me going, so that my tables are sitting nicely in my dW and can be connected to my SA (Security Assist).
Ugh!

The first question: on what platform? Windows - Mac?
I only succeeded in setting up a testing server on my Mac
with PHP and MySQL after reading a book of David Powers. On Leopard
I belief there still are problems connecting PHP to MySQL.

Letmewatchthis.ch won't load "Problem loading page" but other sites are fine. Regular visitor to that site and tests show it is up

Just suddenly 3 hours ago, letmewatchthis.ch stopped working for me "Unable to connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.letmewatchthis.ch.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web."
All other sites are fine and I have used letmewatchthis over 1,000 times. I ha it tested on a few on the test sites and apparently it is just me :/

this is still happening -- getting a bad gateway error or even the link to I guess their host:
https://www.mediasecure.org/
have noticed another site that has disappeared also called moviestvlinks.com is going to server not found.
http://www.letmewatchthis.name/
after much waiting finally loaded hope it works.

PHP won't execute on Dream Weaver testing server

I have successfully installed an Apache server and MySQL using Xampp. Using Dream Weaver (CS5.5) I've created .php pages which (after setting up the site and testing server) successfully connect to a database. However, php code on those pages won't execute. The pages only display the text code when IE or Firefox links to http://localhost/filename.php. Following is the Apache log file entries for those failed attempts. [Tue Jul 17 08:20:03 2012] [notice] Child 2656: Starting thread to listen on port 443. [Tue Jul 17 08:20:03 2012] [notice] Child 2656: Starting thread to listen on port 443. [Tue Jul 17 08:20:03 2012] [notice] Child 2656: Starting thread to listen on port 80.

Anyone?

If PHP is running in other locations, then it's a configuration issue with the server whereby PHP is not allowed to run in the folder you have specified. I can tell you filenames and areas to look for, but I'm personally have never found the XAMPP installation to be the most intuitive when it comes to editing which is why I pointed you in their direction.
If you look in the httpd.conf file, you should see a DocumentRoot defined. Make sure that the site definition is within that document root. There should also be a Directory declaration ( <Directory "/path/to"> ) that should match the path of your DocumentRoot. It is possible to serve documents from different areas of your computer. Ususally this is done when you have things like phpMyAdmin above the root, so if you see multiple entries in there, some of which XAMPP installs itself, you should leave them alone and ask their support forum for help because they will know which entries the application puts in that you will not want to remove.

PHP/MySQL connection / testing server maybe?

Problem - I'm unable to connect to a PHP database. I'm
working right now with tutorials from the DW CS3 Bible by Lowery,
but haven't been able to connect at all. And I wasted weeks trying
the same thing with an ASP connection.
The error message I'm getting now is '405 Method not Allowed'
when working through the connection dialog. I thought PHP/MySQL was
supposed to be easier & better than ASP/Access?
In going through the site setup, instructions for setting up
the site's testing server say 'click test to verify the connection'
but there's no button to click. What am I missing?
Is there some kind of easy test script I can attempt, as with
asp? Problem there was that I could do the 'timetest' sample, but
nothing else.
I have gone through setting permissions and creating IUSR_my
computer name as a user - they seemd to work fine, but I still
can't connect.
Thanks anyone, and everyone - my first post regarding
connection problems was on 8/22 and I feel like I have gotten
nowhere.

Have you looked at this tutorial?

Cannot enter URL or use advanced tab when creating a (local) testing server

Hi,
I have created a site in Dreamweaver and I have tried creating a testing server. However everytime I try to create a test server Dreamweaver does not allow me to enter the Web URL in the server window. I knnow its local (localhost) but it seems it should still need a URL - http://localhost/...
It allows me put in the name of the server the connection type - Local/Network and allows me to browse to the server folder and select it but does not allow me to put any data in to Web URL: field.
Additionally, it does not allow me to select the Advanced tab to specify my Server Model - PHP MySQL.
When I click save with these settings I can see all the necessary files and folders in the Dreameaver Testing Server window but when I go to create a database connection I get an error saying "The URL prefix http:// for this site's testing server could not be resolved" - on hitting the Select button to select the database.
I am running WAMP (in Windows 7) and I can see the database in phpMyAdmin. I know the username and password are correct.
Any help would be appreciated - Thanks

Does this help?

DW CS5.5 Testing server setup - Help!!

Hi everyone,
Sorry if this is in the incorrect place for this error but I an having difficulties running a test server for php testing.
I am running MacBook Pro, Lion and have Xampp installed. DW CS5.5 Databases access via phpmyadmin works fine.
Ok so this is what I do:
1. Create a new site in DW CS5.5
     Under Site Tab:
          Site Name: test
          Local folder: desktop/test
2. Unser server tab:
          Basic tab
               Sever name: whatever.
               Connect with: local/network
               Server folder: placed in the htdocs/mysite
                    (Note: When creating the new folder in htdocs a pop up states that the folder is read only, so I am hoping its something to do with that)
               Web URL to http://127.0.0.1/xampp
          Advance tab
               maintain sync info: Checked

               Testing Server Model: PHP MySQL
          Save
               Remote: unchecked
                Testing: checked
          Save
3. Create new php file and open it, save it, making sure that the cursor is still flashing within the document.
4. Open the Databases tab
     Click the + and select MySQL Connection
          name: MyConnection
          mySQL server: localhost
          username: root
          password:
     Pressing select gives the following errors:
          HTTP 404 error MMHTTPDB.php does not exist
          Unidentified error
     Attempts:
          renaming Web URL to http://127.0.0.1/xampp/xamppfiles/htdocs/mysite/_mmServerScripts as thats where I found the MMHTPDB.php file. No avail
          changing local folder from desktop/test to htdocs/mysite. No Avail
Please could someone show me why DW is teasing me
thanks in advance

Mac testing server URL prefix problem

Greetings,
I've searched through a bunch of forum and support topics
with no success so here's a post.
I'm building a site on a Mac using some basic PHP (not
database driven) and would like to be able to preview the files in
a browser. I'm setting up a testing server with PHP/MySQL as the
Server Model, Access as Local/Network, and the location of the site
folder pointed to. My problem is the URL prefix...
I have tried the following URL prefixes and keep getting the
same error message in DW ("Dreamweaver cannot use the prefix you
entered to display live data....HTTP error:0") and a connection
failure in the browser. The following attempts include the name of
my hard drive, my Mac User name, and the name of the folder my site
rests in.
http://myHDname/
http://myHDname/~myUserName/
http://myHDname/~myUserName/siteFolderName/
http://localhost/
http://localhost/~myUserName/
http://localhost/~myUserName/siteFolderName/
Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!

My guess is: you are not actually using a web server to serve
your
documents.
see if reading the documentation helps....

Need Help Setting Up Testing Server

Hi. I have been using Dreamweaver for a while, but am
extremely new at the whole testing server thing, as I have been
building only simple pure-html pages.
I am want to password protect a part of my site using the
Insert > Data Objects > User Authentication > Log In User.
I have already converted my whole site from .html pages to
.php pages, because I thought that .html pages wouldn't work.
Everytime I try to use that Log In User menu command,
Dreamweaver gives me a dialog box that says, "Before inserting this
object, please do the following: 1. Create a site for this file 2.
Choose a document type 3. Set up the site's testing server".
Numbers 1 and 2 have a checkbox which I am assuming means they are
done correctly. But number 3 (set up teh site's testing server) has
no checkbox and the dialog box will not allow me to click OK, which
leads me to assume that I need to accomplish the aforementioned
step number 3.
So I go to the Site Definition for my site and under the
Advanced Tab go to Testing Server. I want PHP MySQL as the server
model, so I chose that. And I am guessing I need to choose
Local/Network for the Access option because
the computer I am building this site on is not connected to the
internet. (I have no intention of hooking this machine up to
the internet becauase all of my work I have ever done is on it!)
Now, here lies my main question: What should the Testing
server folder be? And what should the URL prefix be? And do I need
to change anything else?
If I am not being clear about anything regarding my
questions, please make a point of it, and I will try to be more
clear.
Thank you so much for helping!

> Host Directory:/root folder/ (if no root folder
directory use "/"
Or leave it blank.
> FTP Host:yoursite.com
I see that this is a *real* domain, with a real registration.
It's best to
just use 'example.com' for dummy domain names.
> URL Prefix:
http://your-site.com/
Ditto. And by the way, there was no hyphen when you first
used this!

URL prefix for testing server?

My site is hosted by Pair Networks, which uses MySQL and PHP
for dynamic content. The site has separate root URLs for the SSL
and non-SSL portions of the site, and I have two separate "sites"
in Dreamweaver to manage the content. But when I set up a database
connection on the SSL side, the connection only works if the SSL
site's testing server has the URL for the non-SSL site. How do
other Pair customers set up their Dreamweaver sites? Any
suggestions would be great.

Do you have the "User Secure FTP (SFTP) option" checked in
the Remote Site
Definition of the Secure site?
