Dreamweaver MX 2004 Loading Trouble
I have dreamweaver MX 2004 that does not load on my powerbook
g4. I have re-installed with negative results. It appears to load;
however, a small window error window appears without any error
message and the only option is "ok" which upon click exits the
program.
Thanks for the reply.
I downloaded and installed the update.
I still get the exact same problem, and error report.
I have the exact same problem with Fireworks MX 2004 as well.
After a fresh download and install of the software, clicking on the
application icon just causes it to bounce momentarily in the dock,
and then it crashes and the error log comes up.
I have been able to install Flash CS4 without incident,
though. It works fine, with no problems.
I shouldn't have to do this on a brand new mini right out of
the box, but I'm going to run a restore on it, and then try a fresh
install once again.

Dreamweaver MX 2004 - "An Unidentifed Error has occorred." - Please help!!
Hi folks. I have scoured the internet for a fix to this problem. Most of the posts I read are unanswered or the solution does not work. I am hoping a guru reads mine and has the magic answer - I am ready to chuck the project altogether if I can't find a solution. Although I am not a newbie to simple page design, I have never really tackled data access (dynamic content) before, like I am about to. I am ready and willing to learn but this obstacle may hinder my interest if it is going to be this big a pain in the keester.
Let's start with my system config:
Windows XP Pro w/ SP3
Dreamweaver MX 2004
IIS 5.1 - configured with FTP support
PHP 5.2.11
MySQL 5.0 - For now I am using the Test DB that comes with MySQL. Using "root" account.
I have verified that all is running properly to the best of my knowledge. Certainly Dreamweaver up until this issue has worked for years. I have not used DW for data access before on this machine but have successfully on others.
IIS > Loads web content from http://localhost just fine. Including PHP test page. And IIS help stuff that comes pre-installed.
MySQL > I can build DB's and Schemas just fine. I can even import data from external sources so I have to assume it's running fine.
Dreamweaver > The site I am building has the following config:
Local Info
Site Name: medimj
Local Root: C:\medimj *set to refresh
Images: C:\medimj\images
HTTP: blank
Remote Info
Access: Local/Network
Remote Folder: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\medimj\ *set to refresh auto
Testing Server
Server Model: PHP MySQL
This site contains: Dreamweaver MX Pages Only (default)
Access: Local/Network
Testing Server Folder: C:\indetpub\wwwroot\medimj\ *set to refresh auto
URL Prefix: http://localhost/medimj
<<<Everything else I believe is irrelevant to the topic and left to defaults>>>
SO HERE IS WHAT IS HAPPENING:
When I go to make a data connection (Step 4 under the Database tab of Applications section in DW), I click the "+" button and select "MySQL Connection". The dialogue window appears and I input:
Connection Name: medimj
MySql Server: localhost
User Name: root
Password: <password>
I click "Select" button and get an error window that says "An Unidentified error has occurred." and I am taken back to the MySQL Connection dialogue box. I have tried adding http:, slashes, \medimj, IP address, and pipe name to the Server name to make the connection and none of it works. If I put a DB name and click "ok" the binding will appear but no table ever come into view. If I click on "Test" I get the same error.
Here is the mysql area of the test.php. From what I see, I should be able to make a connection; but I'm not expert. Should I be seeing more information?:

I just don't see what's wrong at this point. I really hope somebody here can help.
I've been at this for 4 days and uninstalled and reinstalled everything to no avail. I hope I have given enough information for someone to make a suggestion that will help. I thank anyone for their time in advance.
prdreamweaverI would like to share with everyone a fix for this problem. I wish I could say I found it here but I did not. After continuing to search the Internet, while eagerly awaiting an answer here, I stumbled upon the answer deep in a thread in the MySQL website forums.
If someone should find this topic before the supposed Adobe fix, please do not waste your time with what Adobe suggests. It has been know cause more problems than help - as was the case with me. Applying their "fix" forced me to reinstall MySQL and a fresh version of PHP. I am also providing OS information and versions of all components I am using as well as settings within Dreamweaver. I cannot speak as to whether this fix transitions across other versions of Dreamweaver but it's worth looking at if yours does not match mine.
NOTE: ALWAYS MAKE A RECORD OF WHAT YOU CHANGE. THIS IS BASIC TROUBLESHOOTING AND WILL MINIMIZE THE NEED TO REINSTALL IF THINGS GET WORSE. BEING ABLE TO REVERSE WHAT YOU'VE CHANGED IS IMPORTANT.
System Info
OS: Windows XP Pro w/ SP3 (patched to the hilt)
IIS: 5.1 (installed from XP Pro CD - additional windows components)
PHP: v5.2.11 (installer version)
MySQL: v5.0.87 (installer version)
Dreamweaver: MX 2004
Install IIS, PHP, and MySQL per their individual instructions.
IIS Tweaks
Note: This tweak assumes you haven't already created your website virtual directory under IIS. If you have, you can delete it and follow these steps. You don't have to but I like this recommendation I found on another site as it tricks DW into thinking its attaching to an "outside" server. You'll see what I mean when you see the DW confg options later in this topic.
1. Create a folder under c:\inetpub\wwwroot that matches the local folder in DW for the site you are designing. Make sure they are spelled the same. If you have pages and images already in your local folder for DW, you don't have to re-create them here. You can sync them to the "server" much like you would when you FTP your pages up to a live server. Just make sure the root folders are named the same.
2. Right click your localhost site select "properties". Click the "Home Directory" tab. Click on the "Configuration" button. Under "Application Mappings", click the "Add" button. A new dialogue box appears > In the "Executable" area, browse to the root PHP folder and select file "php5isapi.dll" and click ok to return to the dialogue box. In the "Extension" box type ".php" without the quotes. Make sure "Script Engine" and "Check that file exists" are checked. Click ok.
NOTE: A DIALOGUE BOX MAY APPEAR ASKING IF YOU WANT TO PROPOGATE THE CHANGES ACROSS ALL OTHER SITES. YOU CAN SAY YES BUT IT DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK. (IT'S AN IIS THING) TO SEE IF IT DID, CHECK THE PROPERTIES OF YOUR VIRTUAL DIRECTORY AND FOLLOW STEP TWO IF YOU DON'T SEE THE PHP MAPPING THERE.
PHP Tweaks
1. extension_dir = c:\php\ext ~ change folder to match your install
2. cgi.force_redirect = 0 ~ required for IIS
3. register_globals = On
4. register_long_arrays = On
5. extension=php_mysql.dll ~ removed the ;
6. extension=php_mysqli.dll ~ removed the ;
7. include_path = "."
8. mysql.default_host = localhost
9. mysql.default_port = 3306
**NOTE: IF I DIDN'T PUT QUOTES - NEITHER SHOULD YOU.
10. Save and Close
copy the file libmysql.dll
to c:\windows & c:\windows\system32 ~ this file is in the root of PHP 5 folder
XP Environment Variables: Add the following at the end of Paths> c:\<php folder>;c:\<php folder>\ext ~ change php folder for your install
NOTE: ANY CHANGES TO ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE SYSTEM PROBLEMS IF NOT DONE CORRECTLY. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A ";" AT THE END OF THE PATH BEFORE YOU ADD THE CHANGES.
REBOOT!!!! THESE CHANGES WILL NOT TAKE EFFECT UNTIL YOU DO SO.
DW - edit current site or create it new
Local Info:
Should be left however you have it now OR if creating new, just do it like you always have.
Remote Info:
Access : Local/Network
Remote Folder: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\<your virtual directory>
* Check Refresh Automatically
Testing Server:
Server Model: PHP MySQL
Access: Local/ Network
Testing Server Folder: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\<your virtual directory>
URL Prefix: http://localhost/<your site name>
* Check Refresh Automatically
** I don't make changes to anything else under site editing so I stop there. Click OK and you're done.
At this point, you should see under the "Application" section on the "Database" tab, steps 1,2,3 checked. Now create a connection by clicking the "+" button. Enter the following:
Connection Name: <whatever you want>
MySQL Server: localhost
User Name: root (or another account you have created with sufficient privileges)
Password:
Database: enter a DB name you wish to connect to or click select if you wish to browse for it.
You shouldn't get the "Unidentified Error..." message anymore. I know I don't.
I hope this helps the next poor sap this happens to. I'm sorry for the long post but I hate, hate, hate, when people post half assed instructions because they are too lazy to type.
Good luck everyone and happy designing!!!

Hi all,
I was searching for Dreamweaver MX 2004 (i went for
Dreamweaver MX 2004 because I am not a pro. designer and i didn't
need Dreamweaver 8, was too expensive), but i could not find it.
I am sure there are those who are out there looking like i
was so i found an extra one to post on here.
I am selling it for $150 negotiable.(that is saving ove $200)
and it comes with a licience key that has never ben used, still
unseen in sealed box.
Contact me if you are interested.
I was once looking but i found, now those that are looking
have found.
Cheers

What I think doesn't matter; I build web sites commercially
(albeit on a
small scale) so could not use the education version. I think
if you
want to sell it to someone who qualifies (see restrictions on
Adobe
website), you'd be advised to discount it significantly,
since if you
are paying full retail it's less trouble to buy directly from
Adobe (or
from the college bookstore).

Anyone managed to get Dreamweaver MX 2004 (Academic edition, if it matters) running on the new MBPs under Rosetta? I've read of other people seemingly getting it to run, but for me it just bounces in the dock a few times and dies:

I can't afford to upgrade to a newer version of DW, so at the moment I'm resorting to running it under XP in Parallels-- except that there it won't accept my registration for some reason (I did de-authorise it on my old PowerBook first), so after 30 days I'm in trouble :/Unfortunately it's true. If you read the fine print somewhere, it says you can only install under one platform. If you choose mac, you can then only install on macs from here on out. If you choose windows, then you can only install on windows from then on.
It's a real bummer, I had this issue and was very upset about it because it wasn't made clear until you look for the tiny fine print.
Anyhow, I'm running Dreamweaver MX 2004 on my MBP under Rosetta and it runs fine (except obviously a little slow for being emulated). Have you tried installing the latest updates for it? I think the last update (an old one) was 7.2. -
Yahoo Merchant Solutions Extension for Dreamweaver MX 2004 Trial Version
I have a licensed version of Dreamweaver MX 2004 at home, as
well as the downloaded extension for Yahoo Merchant Solutions that
enables me to add the shopping cart. However, I am currently
working offsite and needed to download a trial version of
Dreamweaver to work on my pages while I was not in my office. After
installing the trial version, I tried downloading the Merchant
Solutions extension. This extension downloads and installs
simultaneously and requires Dreamweaver to be closed when
performing this action. However, when trying to install, it kept
coming up with a runtime error whenever attempting to start
Dreamweaver. This is due to the pop-up trial box that appears every
time Dreamweaver is launched, thus preventing the installation of
the extension. Since the full version is available for the 30-day
trial, isn't there some way of bypassing the stupid box that keeps
popping up everytime so extensions can be installed?
Also, is there a reliable extension for autosave? I stepped
away from my desk for about five minutes and found a Windows update
had occurred before I had a chance to save everything I did in
Dreamweaver.
Thanks.Phil,
I believe that the Yahoo Merchant Solutions Extension for
Dreamweaver
does not work on DW8, but maybe it has been updated recently.
Take a look at this TechNote regarding installing the 8.0.2
updater:

Dreamweaver MX 2004 / flash MX 2004
Dear all,
I am working on a project that is using a flash file with a
load() inserted into an html file done in dreamweaver MX and
everything was just fine; everything was loading.
I switched to Dreamweaver MX 2004 and all of a sudden, the
exact same file does not load anything at all. Is there some
preference I should put into dreamweaver MX 2004 or in my Flash
file so they communicate somehow like they used to do.
Note; my .swf file when read outside of the html works fine
and loads everthing normal.
Thanks.Show us a link to web page you are working with that is
dealing with a swf file. I think it has a lot to do with wrong
coding in html to work with swf file. Just post a URL (web address)
link, please. Thanks, DWD -
Dreamweaver MX 2004 won't import Jpg
Im having a weird issue bringing jpeg files into dreamweaver
mx 2004...it won't let me do it.
Anyone seen this problem and how to fix it?
thanks in advanceWhat do you mean by "bringing" them into Dreamweaver? Are you
trying to load
this with the <img> tag, like so:
<img src="file.jpg" width="X" height="X" alt="File 1"
title="">
If so, what errors are you getting? You need to be more
specific on your
problem to get an answer.

Reinstall and Dreamweaver won't load
Hi, I have been having trouble with my Draemweaver package
whereby it sometimes loaded up the first screen and then simply
shut down again. I have removed all the Marcomedia products from my

fine but now when I click on the Dreamweaver icon, nothing loads?
Is there something I have forgotton to do?I think this problem can be fixed with the update available

Find and replace Dreamweaver mx 2004 problem: not opening saved queries
Dreamweaver mx 2004 is not opening saved queries! I use find and replace often and uses to save code replacements to reuse
it. But now when I open the saved query I have 2 situations:
1) comes completely blank
2) or only shows truncated text or code in fields.
I opened the dwr file in text editor and seems to be fine, I mean information saved is there.
Tried recreating cache, or deleting caché, tried saving new or overwritting existant ones, tried saving into a completely different location,
tried in other site definition. Nothing seems to work...Which FTP app did your predecessor use to upload files? If it's still on your work station, it should contain the log-in credentials.
You'll find a few utilities online for revealing passwords

Installed Dreamweaver MX 2004 update for Windows and now Dreamweaver won't open. Help?
I was having some glitches uploading to a host I ftp to often so I decided to check for a Dreamweaver update for MX 2004. When I found the Windows update and tried to install - it told me to uninstall Extensions. I uninstalled extensions and continued with the installation of the update. Now Dreamwever will not open at all - it says Dreamweaver MX 2004 has stopped working. I can see the update is installed since the version is 7.0.1. Any ideas on how to undo the update? I have no idea where this program disk is right now for reinstallation plus all my servers are already setup....
You might try Windows System Restore to a point before you installed the update.
Good luck.

Does anybody in here know how to activate Dreamweaver MX 2004 on a Windows 7 64 bit pc?
I keep getting the message that there is an internet connection problem.
I have deactivated my firewall etc., but it doesn't help me.
Anybody got an idea? Adobe Chat does not have the answer for me!
Regards Anders FjWow! Thank you. It Works! Clever!
This is really helpful for those
of us who are nore professionals. I only use Dreamweaver MX 2004 to
maintain and repair my own small homepage with photos. And I know how to
use Dreamweaver MX 2004 and I am not interested in learning new tools -
not now
ONE MORE QUESTION THOUGH: Where and how do I update my

Creating a Photo Album In Dreamweaver MX 2004
I followed the steps to create a web photo album using
Dreamweaver MX 2004 and Fireworks and it creates it. However, I
can't get it to display on the web when I upload it. It displays
the message "Page can not be found". Please help!I think the fact that you have spaces in your files/folder
names is bound to
have created problems. I suggest you do some renaming and
re-upload.
BTW it is incredibly difficult to access pages on the site.
If Alan hadn't

Help building an e-commerce site using DreamWeaver MX 2004 and Oracle 10G
I'm new to using Oracle 10G. After reviewing several rdms's I've picked Oracle 10G as my rdms. I'm trying to build an ecommerce site using DreamWeaver MX 2004 and Oracle 10G. The website will be selling hardware and software products. I have a choice in DreamWeaver to go for a .asp or .jsp setup. I have several questions, here goes:
1. Is there any book/tutorial/whitepaper out there that describes building an ecommerce site using Oracle 10G/9I/8I? Just some examples as how to make the datamodel regarding the shopping basket etc.
2. I prefer DreamWeaver as it let's me make nice looking css style based pages without throttling too much through the code. Are there Oracle tools which allow me to make an advanced nice looking ecommerce site?
I hope some of you can help me get started. Any effort is appreciated.

How do you create a gapless album?
