Could port 21 be blocked? If so, how can I open it.
I tried opening it using info from another thread using this command:
+sudo ipfw add allow tcp from 21 to 21+
But no go...

Dreamweaver CS5 using PHP to connect to Postgres

Started learning Dreamweaver using PHP to connect to mySql and dynamically load data into a table on my web page. Dreamweaver worked great as I didn't have to enter any PHP. Now trying to use PHP to connect to a Postgres DB. Does Dreamweaver CS5 support PHP connection to Postgres like it did mySql? Or do I need to enter the PHP commands to connect and access the Postgres myself rather than rely on Dreamweaver (which I did for mySql)?

PHP/Postgres is not a supported server model in DW. You'll need to code by hand, or try to find an extension. Try posting over at the Postgressql forums.

FTP Connection Issues Dreamweaver CS5.5

I can't ftp into the top level directory of any of my hosting accounts with dreamweaver cs5.5
This is becoming a major issue and I'm aware now of other users with the same issue.
First log in to an ftp server works fine - the test case directory is created and deleted - and I think it is this which is causing some odd permissions issue.
Second time you try to log in, the connection is made, but then any directory listing times out. However if I define a directory such as /public_html/images/ then it will connect and display directory listings just fine. Clicking "Test" in the server definition dialog results in an OK message.
If i FTP in using a different FTP Client (in this case Transmit) and upload a single file, the issue goes away, and dreamweaver can again connect - one time only, until I perform this odd "reset".
This happens on all FTP connections across multiple hosting companies (all of the hosting companies my clients sites are stored at).
FTP log is below:
< 257 "/www"
< 220 Welcome to Proweb Server FTP service (JubJub).
> USER winfo
< 331 Please specify the password.
> PASS
< 230 Login successful.
> PWD
< 257 "/"
> CWD /
< 250 Directory successfully changed.
> CWD /www
< 250 Directory successfully changed.
> PWD
< 257 "/www"
Then it waits for a while before giving me the following error message (I've extended timeout to anything up to a couple of minutes, no difference):
Toggling the "USE Passive FTP" checkbox may help you establish a connection. -Select or de-select the checkbox and click Test to tray again.
-if you are connecting using an IPv6 enabled server, please select the "USE IPv6 transfer mode" checkbox in the Advanced site definition dialog.
If the problem persists, check you network settings, including the local firewall settings on your computer, or consult your network administrator.
I have tried PASV checked and unchecked, performance optimisation, and every other combination available to me. I am not connecting through a proxy.
The settings on ALL of my sites worked before the cs5.5 upgrade. The settings on NONE of my sites with a root directory specified work since the upgrade. The only thing that has changed is the move to dreamweaver cs5.5. I can connect with other ftp clients. my ftp server settings are correct. My server and network settings are unchanged. The settings on ALL my sites on other FTP clients continue to work fine.
Am on an i7 2.8GHz Intel iMac running 10.6.7 with 8 gigs of RAM. I have quit all software except dreamweaver and tried running my mac firewall both on and off.
Really running out of ideas, and know of other people with the same issue since the upgrade - what's going on Adobe?!

Same for me, in that I had an unreliable and effectively unusable FTP connection with CS5.5 . I've reverted to CS5, because even though I'll miss a couple of the new features I need to have a working connection to the site when working with PHP - because otherwise I can't see my site at all other than via Firefox. I also suspect that at least a couple of times I've had some sort of corruption occur as a result of the FTP hanging. All was okay before CS5.5, and I may have slagged off a different hosting provider than my present one when it was in fact (at least in part) a DW issue. If it isn't fixed in CS6 then CS6 is unusable for me and I'd definitely be happier with 'unenhanced' CS5 FTP functionality. The theoretical performance gains with the CS5.5 implementation are trivial by comparison with the problems. If all else fails, please revert to CS5 code for the FTP side of things.
UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is now fixed for me. The problem was that I did not have a proper web url entered in my site definition for the remote server. I'm not sure how that was placing any limitation on FTP access - after all, the need for a full site definition was removed a couple of software issues ago - but the fact is that with the correct web address entered I have working FTP on CS6 (and seemingly on CS5.5 too). I had a simple forward slash entered for the web address, probably as a result of some earlier investigation of the local server/remote server relationships for file upload on a PHP site. I was running CS5 with the correct Web Url entered, so that was working and the CS5.5, without the correct Web Url, was not. I vaguely remember reading that the Web Url was connected with DWs management of absolute/relative links and not much else, but it seems that is not the case. The new FTP is MUCH faster and I'm a happy guy. Site menu>>>Manage sites>>>[select your site]>>>Edit>>>Servers>>>[2-click your server]>>>Web URL: Put in the full URL e.g. http://www.somesite.com . Not sure if you need a trailing / after, but I have one.
UPDATING AGAIN: Through all of that I had turned on the 'IPv6 protocol' and 'Passive FTP' options in an attempt to get working. The result of that was FTP that worked well once transferring files but often took a while to hook up. Deselecting those, and using CS6, I'm happy with my FTP.

Can Dreamweaver CS5 connect to MySQL via ODBC?

I am unable to make a direct connection to an external MySQL database because most hosting provider does not allow this type of connection due to security reasons. I am however able to make an ODBC connection to the database (which I am currently using to connect filemaker to our MySQL database).
How can I tell Dreamweaver CS5 to connect via the ODBC driver so I can see the MySQL content in my Dreamweaver project?
I am on a Mac running OS X 10.6.4.

You can't - at least not if you want to use Dreamweaver's server behaviors. Dreamweaver uses the original PHP MySQL extension. If you want to connect in any other way, you need to hand code everything yourself.
On the other hand, if you want to see the contents of your remote database in Dreamweaver, define your remote server as the testing server. Dreamweaver uploads a hidden folder to the remote server to connect to the database. Because the script is on your remote server, it's local to the MySQL database, so gets round the security issue. It then sends the details to your local computer.
A better solution, though, is to establish a local testing environment. It's more responsive and much more secure. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/setup_php.html.
By the way, the failure to get a reply is due, in part, to posting your question in the wrong forum. The forum for issues related to PHP/MySQL and other server-side technologies is http://forums.adobe.com/community/dreamweaver/dreamweaver_development.

Styles being dropped on network shared folder files in Dreamweaver CS5.5

Hello, apoligies if this has already been solved but I could not find anything similar. Recently we have upgraded our staff from Dreamweaver CS4 to CS5.5 and are having some issues with pages dropping the stylesheets which are linked relatively. The relative files are located on a shared network drive which is mapped in Windows 7 as a drive (e.g. My Computer shows the drive as R:).
In Dreamweaver design view up the top it reads:
Address: file:///R|/acrrm/tinnitus/course_content/001.html
and there is a yellow bar up the top which reads:
'common_styles.css' is a remote file and cannot be edited.
We never had this issue before so I was wondering if it was a new limitation of CS5.5 or if there was something I should look out for in the site definition.
Interestingly enough I was able to fix this on one machine by randomly toggling the live code/view buttons, havent had any luck doing that to other machines though.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Here are the specs:
O.S: Windows 7
Version: Dreamweaver CS5.5
Site Definition: Network shared drive

Interestingly enough I was able to fix this on one machine by randomly toggling the live code/view buttons, havent had any luck doing that to other machines though.
I would have to say that this operation could not possibly fix anything. I suspect that simply waiting the same amount of time as this operation required would have returned the same result, and it sounds like there is some latency in your network.
Your site is entirely contained on a network shared drive, right? Or is it that only SOME files are on the network shared drive (R:)? Also, where is it you are seeing this?
Address: file:///R|/acrrm/tinnitus/course_content/001.html

OK. Did you really mean to ask this question on a ColdFusion forum, if it's DreamWeaver you're having problems with? You're probably better off raising this on a DreamWeaver forum. "Using the correct tool for the job" 'n'all.

I have Dreamweaver CS5 with Windows 8 and it won't stay connected to the server and it says I need flash plug in, please help

I have a Gateway computer with Windows 8 installed. I have installed Dreamweaver CS5 to manage my website and it won't stay connected to the server. It also won't play flash and says I need a flash plug in. Please help

#1 Try toggling Passive FTP on/off in your remote server's site definition.
#2 Except for a handful of gaming sites, Flash is a dead web technology. It's not supported by iPhone, iPad, iTouch, Android, etc... I don't recommend using Flash for anything these days. Better to use HTML5, CSS level 3 and JavaScript.

Dreamweaver CS5 constantly quits if FTP is left connected

I've searched everywhere and have found lots of references to this but no answers.
Dreamweaver CS5 just quits all the time. I couldn't figure it out for ages and found one discussion that said it had something to do with the the FTP. So if I disconnect FTP, it seams mostly stable. If I forget to disconnect after each upload and leave it for 5 minutes and then try do something / anything... bam!, it just quits out.
It is so freaking annoying and got to the point where I just can't work like this. Even resorted to not setting up FTP at all and using Filezilla for uploads but doesn't help when you're doing app development.
Any solutions out there ??

Running Dreamweaver CS5.5 on Windows 2008 R2

I am trying to install Dreamweaver CS5.5 on a Windows 2008 R2 server for use within Citrix environment. The installation seems to work properly and I can open the application the first time with no errors, however, every subsequent opening of the application displays only a splash screen for Dreamweaver, then either does not open at all or gives me a Windows error (0x00005). I have seen the forum comments about removing profile data and security - am running under the local admin account (full rights) and I have cleared the profile data with no change in behavior.
As a side note - I called Adobe support, and after being bounced around multiple times (and hung up on twice), they finally referred me to this forum - ????????

They sent you here because Windows 2008 Server is not supported by Dreamweaver, no server OS ever has been. If you are using the Citrix apps to push installed applications to a networked computer the clients should be virtualizing a client OS to run them in such as Windows XP, 7 or 8. They should not be running virtualized apps in a server OS. If they need access to the server for maintenance or pushing files live, you should set up SFTP/FTPS or network access, including a network drive or remote desktop connection. If they need a testing server and they are unable to run one on the client, then a second virtual machine should be setup for them to test in.

Dreamweaver CS5 WebDave often times out. Can I increase the timeout?

I am using WebDave to interact with my server. This has worked well for the last year, but for some reason my server load has increased and I am now getting timeouts often, which means pages fail to upload. Dreamweaver is not particularly good at letting you know the page did not upload, so I have a major headache trying to keep the server up-to-date. I have been working with the server people, but they have not found the load on this server to be particularly high and it is not swapping or anything. A good solution is to make WebDave inside of Dreamweaver a little bit more patient by increasing the timeout. FTP does not work for me, since my work firewall blocks FTP on the guest network.
Question: Is there a way of increasing the default timeout for WedDave connections?
Dreamweaver: CS5 Version 11, Build 4993
Computer: MacBook Pro 17" Mid 2010, OS X 10.9.3, 8GB

Ken you ask good questions. I actually don't know it is timeout, since Dreamweaver only includes in the FTP log successful messages. The failure is almost instantaneous. There is nothing on the Console Log on my Mac and nothing in the site log, but the site log is limited. I get the failure at home and work on two different WiFi. If I connect using a third party WebDav-namely the Mac built-in, then it works. If I use DW WebDav I get hit with failures about 1 out of 4. It sort of warms up after a few successful transfers and will work 3 out of 4 times. I suspect that the problem is related to the apache server is loaded and things are getting cached, and that DW is sensitive to this. That is the reason I wanted to desensitize DW. I don't have DW on a PC nor have access to a PC, but the Mac WebDav test was quite interesting.
I will try ethernet from home tonight. I was thinking of making sure I have the latest WebDAV running on the apache server, and in DW, but I really can't change either of these, even if I figure out that they are out of date. And if DW is updated, I can't afford the update since Adobe went subscription. I am volunteer and do my Web stuff for free for Academic and Non-Profits.

Get File/Put File Kills Home Network Connection

Recently encountered a problem with Dreamweaver CS5 where when I try and put or get multiple files to my server, I lose internet connection. I don't just mean wireless connection, but my entire home network fails. I have to reset my router to regain connection only to have it happen again. I have tried hardwiring the laptop to the router, same thing. I have tried hardwiring the laptop to the cable modem, same thing. When the network fails, my PC that is hardwired to the router also loses connection. I am currently using the newest generation 17" MacBook Pro, 2.66GHz, 8 GB, with Mac OS X 10.6.4, running Adobe Creative Suite Design Premium CS5. My home network setup includes a Comcast cable modem, hardwired to a Linksys router that provides my wireless network as well as a hardwired connection to my PC. I can connect to my server fine and upload and download multiple files with other FTP programs such as Filezilla, but whenever I use Dreamweaver it kills my internet connection every time. I have tried to find other information on this and have only come across a few others who are experiencing this issue and can not find a solution. Please see the following links:
Seems it was a CS4 problem too: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2448960#2448960
Another person thinking it was a Windows issue: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7programs/thread/88a38e07-f050-4800-a1f7 -7b0570f88eaa
Between these threads and my problem I have narrowed it down to a Dreamweaver issue but can not find any solutions besides using another FTP program which greatly hinders my workflow. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Brian

the problem for me was my network cards driver. I dont know how mac handles drivers but when i changed back to the previous version
of the driver it started working fine. Before that i had to restart my network when i tried to put a big file with DW.

Subversion and Dreamweaver CS5

my team and i are very confused with understanding how this architecture and integration works. from reading various websites it seems we need to setup subversion and create a repository. my immediate question is where do we install and create the repository? on all our local machines or on the DEV server that hosts our website running on Apache 2.2?
Also... today we all work in Dreamweaver CS5. each one of us created a site in Dreamweaver on all our local machines pointing to a mapped network directory we each setup on all our machines... and the mapped network drive (lets say Z:\) is our DEV machine with all our coldfusion files that we edit through DreamWeaver remotely.
i'm trying to understand the architecture we need to setup and if we need to make changes to the way we currently have our sites defined. there is a good link on Adobe TV showing how to compare and check in/out files with subversion and what the icons mean here http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-dreamweaver-cs5/working-with-subversion-and-dreamweaver/
thats great but i see the presenter is working off a local C:\ drive. where does our mapped network Z:\ drive as mentioned above come into play?

How do you connect to SVN? could you show a better description on that, not just your icons? I'm getting an error when trying to commit files. This video didn't really go over anything to help anyone out...

Dreamweaver CS5 - extremely slow performance over VPN

I work for a company in Ohio but live in Virginia, and I have to use VPN to access our company's network drives. I am running Dreamweaver CS5 on Windows 7, 2GB of RAM, reasonably fast residential internet connection. Dreamweaver is so slow over VPN! It takes forever to cache a site, to open, save or close a file, or even just to refresh the document if I leave the window and then come back to it later. Sometimes it's upwards of 3 to 5 minutes (or more!) of the program hanging while I wait for it to wake up.
I realize that some of this is affected by the connection speed at the office in Ohio, but is there anything I can do to make DW run faster over VPN? Copying the files locally is not really an option because a) it would take too long to copy the sites we work on to my computer, b) I don't want to mess with multiple copies of files and c) I'm not savvy enough to run a .NET site locally on my computer.

b) I don't want to mess with multiple copies of files and c) I'm not savvy enough to run a .NET site locally on my computer.
Not really sure about these points. Personally if I were in your situation I would have a copy of the files locally for editing and then set up a testing server in DW that connects to the VPN for testing and then one remote one to push to the live server. And are you using subversion with multiple copies of files? Is that what you are trying to say? Are there other developers besides yourself?
And 2GB of ram is not a lot on a Windows 7 machine. Windows 7 requires 1GB (32-bit) or 2GB (64-bit) out of the box and that's not including your VPN program, Outlook, Anti-Virus, Firewall and any other software you have. With the price of memory right now and I would personally recommend asking the company to double the memory up to 4GB for smoother DW operation. I don't believe that will help the internet connection, but it will make editing in DW a little bit easier.

Having trouble previewing my website on Safari and Firefox from Dreamweaver CS5

Hi,
I previously built a website using Dreamweaver version CS3 and it ran well. Now that I I have upgraded to Dreamweaver CS5, I'm having trouble previewing the menu text on my website and flash picture text. I'm using an Apple operating sytem (10.6.8). While previewing the web page On Safari and Firefox within Dreamweaver, my menus and the flash picture text have not shown up and the main page contained an error that says:
"Adobe Flash Player has stopped a potentially unsafe operation.
The following local application on your computer or network:

is trying to communicate with this Internet-enabled location:
s.ytimg.com
To let this application communicate with the Internet, click Settings.
You must restart this application after changing your settings."
Can you tell me what I do to correct this?

This is often related to embedded YouTube videos in your webpage.

"This warning is talking about the Flash Global Security Settings Manager. This is not a virus but rather a very common security step related to allowing Flash to connect to the Internet while testing on your local machine. This only occurs during testing on your local machine and does not come into play when that same Flash object is on the Web page on the server.
The Settings Manger allows you to "approve" connecting to the Internet for a particular Flash object.

So go to the Settings Manager, Click "Edit Locations" or "Add Location" and browse on you computer for the Flash file that you are giving permisssion to connect to the Internet. Each Flash object that attempts to access the Internet will need to be given permission separately.
Kind of a pain... or just upload your Flash to the server and test from there, then it's not an issue."

Adobe Browserlab - Tells me network connection settings won't allow connection

I can use the Dreamweaver --> File --> Preview In Browser menu to test from so maybe it's no big deal but was just wondering if I was missing something by not having Browser Lab and if I am how do I modify my Mac Network connection settings to get Browserlab to work?
me again -- Dave V.

In this one http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/846/cpsid_84665.html
On Mac OS X
Do the following:
Quit all CS5 applications.
Open the Apple Property List Editor (supplied with the Apple SKD) or other property list editor application..
Open the file [Startup Disk]/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.AdobeOnlineHelp.plist.
Select Root to see the subentries.
Locate the string object AdobeOnlineDefault. if the key does not exist, you'll need to create it.
Double-click this string value and set it's Value Data to "0" to disable CS Live access.
Save the com.adobe.AdobeOnlineHelp.plist file.
Quit the plist editor.
I put that value to 1 instead of 0 and it made everything work. The CS Live button in the Tool bar in all Adobe applications is for access to various online Adobe services, BrowserLab among them. I don't have Property List Editor but used Prefsetter and it worked. I've for a long time had my Adobe applications saying that they are not connected to the internet. But doing this setting today solved it for me. CS Live is not only for groups. I am a one-person operation but the CS Live button is the easiest way to reach those services you want. Provided the application don't says that it is not connected to the internet... The Adobe technote describes how top turn it off, not how to turn it on. And it is only the AdobeOnline Default that needs changing. Nothing else.
