DreamWeaver CS5, PHP and DB2 Connections

Hi,
I have been playing around with a XAMPP server, a mySQL database and DW CS5. This all works great and DW is a great assistant compiling the necessary PHP code so I dont have to worry about all that.
I do have a number of DB2 database I would like to attach to and there is nothing untuitive in DW allowing me to connect to DB2 databases. Has anyone seen any useful examples here
All my Apache and DB2 server are running on Linux hence Windows samples will not be that useful to me.
ThnX in advance for any hints.

Dreamweaver CS5 PHP and MS SQL

Does Dreamweaver CS5 support using PHP with MS SQL?

Hi
This works with both the SQL Server 2008 Developers edition and the SQL server 2008 Express edition.
The first thing to ensure is that you have the mssql client for the mssql database installed, (also known as the SQL Server management studio), then go here and download the server driver for php - http://sqlsrvphp.codeplex.com/, I would recommend the release candidate as this support php 5.2 and 5.3, (it is named as "SQL server driver for php 2") yes the name is misleading!
Unpack the file into a temp, directory, then copy the files required to your php extensions directory, (the two files required will depend on your version of php, check the documentation) you do not have to use the pdo file if you are happy creating your own standard sql statements, but doing so will mean that the pdo extension must also be installed for php.
For php 5.2 you would then add the following to your php ini file, (in the extensions section) -
[PHP_MSSQL]
extension=php_sqlsrv_52_ts_vc6.dll
[PHP_PDO_MSSQL]
extension=php_pdo_sqlsrv_52_ts_vc6.dll
If using pdo ensure the following is also included -
[PHP_PDO]
extension=php_pdo.dll
Restart your server.
O/k, that's the easy part, now to check the installation. For this I installed the "AdventureWorks" database, which you can get here - http://sqlserversamples.codeplex.com/releases/view/45923.
Use the SQL management studio to check the database installed correctly, (while you are there make a note of your server name, and user name and password if not using your windows authentication).
Now to see if the installation is correct/
Open dreamweaver and create a new, (blank) php page, replace all the code, (all the html code) with the following, (the examples give in the help files by Microsoft are wrong) -
The section I have highlighted in red, change this to match your sql server name.
<?php
try {
   $conn = new PDO( "sqlsrv:Server=PAULAS-PC\SQLEXPRESS;Database=AdventureWorks", NULL, NULL);
   $conn->setAttribute( PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION );}
catch( PDOException $e ) {
   die( "Error connecting to SQL Server" );
echo "Connected to SQL Server\n";
$query = 'select * from Person.ContactType';
$stmt = $conn->query( $query );
while ( $row = $stmt->fetch( PDO::FETCH_ASSOC ) ){
   print_r( $row );
?>
The NULL and NULL in the connection string, ($conn = new PDO...) indicates that you are using the windows authentication, if not replace these with your user name and password respectively.
Save the page and select 'live view', the first four words should say "Connected to SQL server".
As I said, I am currently working on including the MSsql connection as part of my "php/mysql pdo extension", which is very 'rough code' at the moment and the items are not fully compatible with how dreamweaver normally works, which means I am using mysql for some development, (creating the basic recordsets etc.) and then pasting/modifying the code into the mssql pages for testing.
If your interested, the extension can be downloaded here - http://www.pziecina.com/design/dreamweaver/pdo_extension.php, the log-in/out etc are done but not included yet.
Let me know how you get on with this, and if you have any problems.

Dreamweaver CS5.5 and SFTP

Greetings
I am trying to connect to my FTP Server with Dreamweaver using SFTP (port 22). I can connect using FTP (port 21). I can also connect using the same credentials, with SFTP using CuteFTP client.
Any suggestions?

Jive
Sorry, no I am not able to connect to the FTP server. The credentials are
correct. I can connect using a ftp client and Coldfusion Builder but, I
cannot connect through Dreamweaver or Contribute.
I hope that helps.

So based on this last post you are able to connect but you are not able to
transfer files. And based on the error I will assume uploading new files
is ok, it's just the overwriting that is causing an issue or uploading,
even new files, to a specific folder is causing an issue. Can you verify
that the ownership settings are correct on your account (you may need to
contact your host to fix if this is the issue)?

PHP and MySQL Connection problem

I am trying to make a PHP MySQL on a remote server connection in Dreamwesaver CS3.
When I enter the information (host, user, password, etc.) and hit TEST, I get the following error message.
"Access Denied. The file may not exist, or there could be a permission problem. Make sure you have proper authorization on the server and the server is properly configured."
I know the user, password, etc. work, as I can access the MySQL database with other software.
I checked with my host and they say there are no permission problems on their end.
I have checked the settings on the Test Server page in Site Setup and everything looks correct and works there.
I have not seen this particular problem described in other forum postings (although there are a LOT of postings on this topic!).
Any help would be appreciated.

I thought my testing server was the remote server and is always on as far as I know. I don't know how to turn it on or off.
Is there some other testing server that I should be aware of?

Installing Adobe Dreamweaver CS5.5 and PhotoShop 5.5 on windows 2008 R2 SP1 using Terminal services

Hi All,
Is it possible to install Adobe Dreamweaver CS5.5 and PhotoShop 5.5 on windows 2008 R2 SP1 using Terminal services. We are planning to use xenapp to publish these application.
Please let me know if this is a supported environment.
Regards
Radhika

As far as I know you will NOT be able to access OpenGL functionality through Terminal Services. as the OpenGL implementation provided in that environment is software, version 1.1 - not GPU-accelerated.
I seem to recall there was a thread about a year ago here where someone was trying to do what you are asking. I vaguely remember they were able to make it work, but I'm not sure. You might try doing a search of this forum.

I orginally bought Dreamweaver CS5.5, and I later upgraded to CS6.

I orginally bought Dreamweaver CS5.5, and I later upgraded to CS6 by downloading and entering the product code. Recently I had to reinstall Windows so I no longer have CS6. Is there some way of getting it back? I have the product key.
Second, this is the fourth time I have entered this message on pages leading up to this one. Is there any way of just entering the question once?

Hello,
did you find this: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/cs6-product-downloads.html and please note "Important: Download the files from a browser other than Microsoft Internet Explorer."
What concerns your question about "Second": Provided I understand you in the right way, naturally it is. BUT, when you don't get an answer it means nothing more and nothing less than no one had a solution for you. And please don't forget, here the most are users not Adobe's employees.

Dreamweaver cs5 problems and adobe support close the case on you

I emailed Adobe support with the message below and they closed the case on me and told me to go over to the developers connection website and open a case there. Well of course there is no where to open a case there, it brings you back to the normal support pages, so I opened a case again!
This is just one of the flaws in Cs5 I've found from intensive useage yesterday.
1. Hangs for nearly 2 minutes if you use an external link to ny file like jquery in the header of the pages - detailed below
2. Sometimes when selecting a related file it says "not on server" and actually tries to open ANOTHER ftp connection listed. It switches connection and then says"not on server" - well of course not....because it just changed to another server! However many time you change it back, it won't have it.
3. The pop up css is a good idea but not well thought out. I have to right click to get inspect but when I roll over the areas it doesn't show the css in the css panel. If I right click and select to show the code, it shows me the css, I then have to click it to select it in the left column. All very long winded... WHY NOT JUST CLICK AN AEA ON THE LIVE VIEW PAGE AND IT SHOWS THE CSS THERE INSTANTLY TO EDIT?!
4. On first open after a quit and relaunch, or restart, switching from normal view to live view hangs Dreamweaver for over a minute before live view is displayed.
Very very buggy and I feel I have paid for a beta version.
Hello I now have Dreamweaver CS5.
It has MAJOR flaw.
If a webpage contains the code
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></script>#
It takes over 1 minute to open each page after launching
This is caused by the 'related files' facility
THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE in software which is this expensive.
All design companies such as us use jquery.
Please fix this flaw asap or supply me with a fix. Turning of related files
helps but if I was to do that what would be the point in
having that facility? (which I am paying for!)

Hi,
Appreciate your reply and accept what you say, I'll take on board the suggestions.
My answers under yours below
Second, the Bug Report form is here: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform . Technical support is not a bug reporting center, nor are they developers which is why they probably closed your case. And there really are not any questions in your support request it reads like a bug report and an angry one at that, not even starting out calm, shouting almost immediately.
- Frustration, I've been up all night, hours messing with it.
Thanks for the link, I'll post to that. I personally don't agree that bugs this big should be present in software of such high upgrade fee's and which should have been tested but I guess we all know its the way of the world now.
1. Why are you working with remote website files that are not part of your domain and not in your local site? This is a bad practice to get in the habit of. If their website shuts down, so does the functionality of yours. Many here will argue that point.
- This is a valid point I've come across before and reading up on it I found it was said that the site in question was on cloud servers, mirrored etc. The link I posted was from someone elses post who was having a similar problem. I personally use the flowplay/jquery main link which has ALL the jquery plugins/effects so whatever is used on that page works.
http://cdn.jquerytools.org/1.1.2/full/jquery.tools.min.js
We did this as it seemed that was what everyone was doing, it seems I am wrong and I take on board your comments about downloading the file.
2. "Sometimes". That is the key word in your statement. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't. What happens when it says "Sometimes not on server" and what happens in the other times. What's different? It's usually hard to believe it's random luck. But developers in a bug report need to know these things. What's different about the file(s)? Is it with certain file(s), type(s), etc? How would it open another FTP connection, do you have multiple FTP locations defined within one site definition?
I probably used the wrong word in 'sometimes' - A better description would be "some of the related files". When live view is on the right and code on the left, related files across the top. If I hover my mouse over the files, it tells me where they are. This info is incorrect on 'some' of the files, not all of them but about 8 out of 10.
It shows the file as being in the folder of another account in the site defs, but its not in there, it's in the one I'm working on (and which is live in the ftp file window). So if I click on the file to view it, it says its not available, and asks if I want to download it from the server. That doesn't work because it then tries to switch the ftp connection to the other site and download.
I thought it was muddled so I removed all the ftp sites and set up just one, the one I was working on. But that didn't work... it then thinks the related files are in "unnamed site 1" - anywhere but looking in its own folder or on its own ftp server!
4. You seem to be referring to Question #1 here so that is answered.
"Please fix this flaw asap or supply me with a fix." - So you are saying Please fix this flaw with a patch or give me the patch. Again, this sounds like you want to file a bug report and not create a support request.
- Accepted, you are right, its a bug report, just they directed me to the developer website and I kept ending up here, so began to believe this is where I should be posting.
"All design companies such as us use jquery". - While I wouldn't be so quick to say all, but rather most, I would say see my answer to #1. Why make your site dependent on someone else's?
- Accepted, I appreciate your honest comments and critism and fot taking the time to reply :-)

Please help me.

I'm guessing the cause is probably the same as that article: PHP is 32bit but your Oracle libraries are 64bit.
You will need to install 32bit instant client and make sure they are used for Apache. Does Windows 2008 have sym links? Perhaps the note mentioned at the end of OCI8 IN WINDOWS SERVER 2008 x64 will help. Otherwise try creating some batch scripts to set PATH appropriately before starting Apache.

OWB and DB2 connection

I have connected Oracle 9i and DB2 v7 and query DB2 in SQL Plus is fine. However, it doesn't for the connection between OWB and DB2.
Anyone can help?
Thanks!

Try the following and use the database link as the source.
1. Copy inithsodbc.ora to initQA_DB2.ora in $ORACLE_HOME\hs\admin
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO=DNS_NAME_OF_YOUR_CONNECTION
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL=0
2. Add the following lines to listener.ora in Oracle server ($ORACLE_HOME\NETWORK\ADMIN)
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = QA_DB2)
(ORACLE_HOME = $ORACLE_HOME)
(PROGRAM = hsodbc)
3. Add the following lines to tnsnames.ora in Oracle server ($ORACLE_HOME\NETWORK\ADMIN)
DB= (DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)
(HOST=localhost)
(PORT=1521)
(CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME=QA_DB2)
(HS = OK)
4. Execute CATalog script for Heterogeneous Services in Oracle server ($ORACLE_HOME\RDBMS\ADMIN\caths.sql)
5. Create database link
drop public DATABASE LINK dwh_qa_db2;
CREATE public DATABASE LINK dwh_qa_db2 CONNECT TO "carlosmo" IDENTIFIED BY "E1Qual" USING 'DB2';
6. Test the connection
SELECT *
FROM SomeTable@dwh_qa_db2

Developer 6i and DB2 connectivity.

I am using Oracle8i with Developer 6i.
I need to connect to DB2/400 (running under OS/400) from Forms Developer 6i
i have IBM AS400 Client Access (version : 3, release : 2,
modification level : 0 ) installed on this machine, which
is working allright, i have checked it by using datatransfer from
AS/400.
the username on DB2 is ORACLE (password is same as username).
i have created ODBC system data source (named SYSDB2) for OCA connection
while i connect from sqlplus, it connects with some error messages as
shown below, however it works allright for querying.
SQL> CONN ORACLE/ORACLE@ODBC:SYSDB2 ;

You may need to run PUPBLD.SQL as SYSTEM
Server not available or version too low for this feature
ORA-00022: invalid session id; access denied

SQL>
i have run PUPBLD.SQL but had no affect on these messages .
When i try to create data dictionary views for DB2 from this connection
by running script (Db4dmbld.sql) it does not create data dictionary.
its fine till this happens, the real problem is that i am
unable to connect to db2 by using odbc datasource from forms6i.
when i try to connect it shows some special characters in a
message box which can't provide any information.
please let me know if there is any fix to this problem.

aamir.

Hi,
the site where you can find it is http://technet.oracle.com/doc/gateways.htm
The gateway has no database functions. The gateway provides an interface by which the Oracle server can direct SQL operations to a DB2 database.
Using a database link, the gateway is identified to the Oracle server. The database link is the same construct used to identify other Oracle server databases.
Tables on the DB2 server are referenced in SQL as:
table_name@dblink_name
or
owner.table_name@dblink_name
If you create synonyms or views in the Oracle server database, you can refer to tables on the DB2 server using simple names as though the table is local to the Oracle server.
When the Oracle server encounters a reference to a table on the DB2 server, the applicable portion of the SQL statement is sent to the gateway for processing. Any host variables associated with the SQL statement are bound to the gateway and, therefore, to the DB2 server.
The gateway is responsible for sending these SQL statements to the DB2 server for execution and for fielding and returning responses. The responses are data or messages. Any conversions between Oracle datatypes and DB2 datatypes are performed by the gateway. The Oracle server and the application read and process only Oracle datatypes.

Dreamweaver CS5.5 and xcode 4.3 doesn't works?

Hi,
I've a new and clean apple system osx 10.7.3 with Dreamweaver CS5.5, 11.5., Build 5344, and Xcode 4.3. Xcode 4.3 doesn't works.
Dreamweaver doesn't recognise the path anymore under Sites - Mobile Applications - Application Framework Settings.
Any idea?
Steve

I noticed following: Xcode is provided in mac file manager in "Volumes". Is this normal?
And I noticed, if I go to Xcode>Preferences>Download I find updates like iOS 4.3 Simulator.
If I click on install button i get the message:
"The install path </Volumes/Xcode/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer> resides on a read-only volume. If you launched Xcode from a read-only disk image, consider copying Xcode to your Applications folder and unmounting the disk image."
Why Xcode in "Volumes" and read-only???
