DW CS5 Dynamically related files could not be resolved

I have used David Powers books over the years and always managed to get my php  working properly locally even though I had no idea really about all of the changes to the settings etc that he detailed in his books.  The thing is it all worked.
So, now I have DW CS5 and the Xampp download to do everything for me and it sort of worked for a while but then it stopped with the "Dynamically-related files could not be resolved message" now always appearing for every site.
I tried uninstalling Xampp and reinstalling it but that didn't work.  Xampp seems to be installed correctly when I go to localhost/xampp.
When I go to localhost I get the 'Index of' / page listing all of my website folders.
I'm using Win 7 64bit.

DO NOT TAMPER with core word press files.  These pages get all their info from multiple server-side include files and content stored in the MySql database.  In short, there is no static content to edit in the core files.  WordPress is all dynamically populated by the server.
The ONLY files you should be working with are inside the wp-content/themes folder.

Once your WP site is deployed on the server, you must use the WP Admin Panel to edit content & invoke changes to your Theme, Plugins, Widgets, etc...

  • CS6: Dynamically-related files could not be resolved... in my WordPress theme subfolder

    I am receiving the message "Dynamically-related files could not be resolved because of an internal server error. Retry."
    This is only happening to my files that are in the "Theme" subfolder.  The WordPress files in the main folder can be discovered.
    I am on a Mac, using MAMP. 
    When I first created the files in the teme folder, everything worked, I shut down for the night and when I came back to the project, I started receiving the message.  I never change the "default" settings in WP.  I have scoured the interent and Adobe forums, to little avail.  I did reconfigure my local testing server following some else's instructions, which enabled upper documents in the primary folder to be Discoverable.
    I can view the site with no problems in my browser.
    I called Adobe support and they couldn't help me, pretty sure the guy wasn't too familiar with the product.
    I am learning here and would really like to resolve this issue so I can create a custom WordPress theme for myself.  Thank you in advance for your help.  Please let me know what other information is needed to help resolve this issue.

    The only WP files you should be looking at are in your WP Themes folder.  Everything else is off limits. See links below:
    WordPress theme - The Anatomy, an Infographic - Yoast
    Theme Development « WordPress Codex
    DW is only useful for customizing your Theme.  Once WP is deployed on your web server, you must use WP's online Dashboard to maintain it.

  • Dynamically-related files could not be resolved error

    I have MAMP running on my Macbook Pro. I have the root for Apache in MAMP set to volumes/WP3 on a network drive with the standard (80) port. WP3 is a shared folder on my network drive that is acting as the root. localhost in my browser shows the Wordpress website working. Live View works although cmd and clicking the link does not follow the link in Live View. I have the site setup in Dreamweaver with the testing server as volumes/WP3 and localhost.
    Hopefully that is sufficient information - any ideas why this would not be working? I did have this working when I had sites set up as sub-folders but this did not allow certain site functionality to work.

    DW needs to connect to your wordpress server to resolve the dynamic related files, so your it sounds like your Testing Server may not be setup correctly. Once you have the site set up correctly you can open index.php from the Files panel and you should be able to discover dynamically related files and links should work in live view.
    Another user has created a video that may help with the setup but you may have to adjust some of the options to match your exact setup.

  • How do I find dynamically related files where Wordpress is not involved

    There are lots of posts about "Dynamically-related files could not be resolved because the site definition is not correct for this server" but they all seem to relate to Wordpress or other blogging software.
    I have recently had to upgrade from DW8 to DW CS5.5 running on Windows 7 64bit. and get this error on lots of pages but there is no help about fixing it.  The local testing server is localhost set up to run PHP with iis7 on virtual folders.
    What do I have to do to get the dynamically related files to be found?
    Thanks

    I think I've  cracked it - nothing to do with databases, that was a red
    herring.
    I had a hundred or so sites on an XP machine running Dreamweaver 8 and used
    the export facility to save their settings when I moved to a Windows 7
    system.  Win7's directory structure is different but the testing server
    location stored in the export file doesn't take account of this and part of
    the path may now include directories that are viewed as shortcuts.  Once the
    locations are reset in Win7 terms, the errors go away.

  • Dynamic-related files

    Hi since I've set Dreamweaver up on my new computer I have not been able to get my XAMPP Control Panel to work properly. because I'm still using the old computer I know I have to use a different Port, which I'm doing the XAMPP is on and running example below, but when I go to live view I keep getting this error: Dynamic-related files could not be resolved because the site definition is not correct for this server.

  • DW CC: Cannot discover dynamically-related files for WordPress

    Hello,
    I've been stuck on this for a week now. I have WordPress running locally through MAMP.
    In the WordPress root (http://localhost/sitename/wordpress/), the file index.php is able to discover the dynamically-related files as expected.
    In my wp-content folder (http://localhost/sitename/wordpress/wp-content/), the index.php is also successful in discovering the dynamically-related files.
    But in my theme folder (http://localhost/sitename/wordpress/wp-content/themes/themename/), none of the dynamically-related files are able to be discovered.
    I get the error message "Dynamically-related files could not be resolved because of an internal server error. Retry"
    Obviously this is problematic because I need the theme files specifically to create my custom layouts and preview my PHP files, otherwise I'd just run WP from the web.
    I've scoured so many forums, many on Adobe Forums and Stackflow as well as other sources and including video tutorials. The most common solution is to set permalinks to default. I have never actually touched this setting. It has always been on default so that's not the issue. In fact, last night I scrapped all my work and re-installed WordPress. Even the pre-installed themes aren't working. Needless to say, my issue isn't with the permalinks. I am still stuck and am quite frustrated.
    Here are some of the most common solutions.
    The site folder directory is: /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/sitename/wordpress
    Server info:
    Server Name: Test
    Connect Using: Local/Network
    Server Folder: /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/sitename/wordpress
    Web URL: http://localhost/sitename/wordpress
    Server Model: PHP/MySQL
    Remote: Unchecked, Testing: Checked
    If anyone can offer any alternative solutions please help me!

    The error message "Dynamically-related files could not be resolved because of an internal server error. Retry" usually comes about when Dreamweaver cannot converse with the server. This can come about  because
    the server is not running
    the site has not been setup as a PHP MySQL Server Model - Site Setup -> Advanced tab.

  • Can't Disable "Discover Dynamically-Related Files"! DW CS5

    Hello,
    In "Preferences -> General" there is an option for "Discover Dynamically-Related Files" for which the choices are Automatically, Manually, Disabled. Is anyone else having a problem setting the option to "Disabled"?? Everytime I set it to disabled, click OK, restart Dreamweaver, open preferences... it's set back to "Manually" again and I get the bar at the top of the code view window telling me "This page may have dynamically-related files....".
    I am however able to uncheck "Enable Related Files" entirely which will get saved after dreamweaver restarts.
    Any clues?
    DW CS5, Windows Vista
    Thanks!
    Peter

    Hi, I was also experiencing the same problem. I'm using DW CS5 on a Windows environment. The fact is that the software itself isn't modifiying the configuration in the registry. Obviously Adobe has to release an update to resolve this bug but, in the meantime, you can solve it by yourself modifying this key in the registry:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS5\General Preferences
    Change the KEY : Discover Dynamic Related Docs Method -> disabled
    Note: I've just done this and works for me, but I cannot assure you if tomorrow will behave as today... you know, AI , Adobe Intelligence ;-)

  • Not all dynamically related files being discovered (Wordpress)

    When I click "Discover" to find dynamically related files associated with my index.php page in the root of my wordpress site, I would expect either an error or the some 70+ files the wordpress page depends on, but instead I only get four files in the related files bar: wp-blog-header.php, style.css, xmlrpc.php, and wlwmanifest.xml.
    Here's where it gets weirder:
    Live View works perfectly fine, including being able to browse different pages/posts on the site. Live Code comes up with the full code document created from processing the different php files on the site, yet those php files don't accumulate in the related files bar. Perhaps the most absurd thing is that code hints works fine in the code view, when I type $wp I get the list of global variables created in those related files I'm not seeing in the related files bar.
    Is this a bug in Dreamweaver? What could be blocking Dreamweaver from populating those files, despite it evidently recognizing them?
    Thanks for the help in advance!
    Note: I am using iis express 7.5, but I don't think the issue is iis-specific, because the only other person I found having this problem was someone a couple years ago posting in a different sub-forum who was claiming to use MAMP server

    I think I figured out the problem.
    After installing services, languages, and uninstalling others, and a bunch of other nonsense, I think I found the problem.
    When there are spaces in the path directory for your site, Dreamweaver will not populate all the related files, even if Live View and everything else works.
    I removed the spaces from the path, and it worked.
    I hope this helps others out there, because I figure this problem would happen fairly often.

  • Cs5 camera raw: "this file could not be created" problem

    When I'm attempting to save raw files in any format (jpeg, dng, tiff, etc) to a different directory from where they're intially opened from I get "this file could not be created" error.  It saves fine if goes to the same directory where the file has been opened from.
    The problem started happening for no apparent reason.  There have been no changes to the system (no new installs, etc), except for recent adobe updates, but I can't find any other users complaining about this problem.  This happens on admin and all other accounts.  Any suggestions on how to fix it would be much appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

    Hm, perhaps a folder closer to the root than the folder you have selected has a permissions issue.
    Is the folder you're trying to use rooted on the hard drive (i.e., does the path begin with a drive letter)?
    Keep in mind that whether you are an Administrator or not, with Windows UAC enabled the app is normally not running as an Administrator.  That can affect permissions.  You might want to either try running the app via Run As Administrator or temporarily disable Windows UAC to see if this is an issue.
    How are you starting Camera Raw?  From within Photoshop or Bridge?
    Also, do you have the latest Camera Raw update?

  • Unknown error has occurred while discovering dynamically-related files

    Hi all.
    Having trouble running Joomla files in Dreamweaver CS5.
    "unknown error has occurred while discovering dynamically-related files"
    Setup testing server and have checked settings again and again. Localserver is XAMPP and everythig running as it should there. Am I missing a DW extention?
    Would be very greatful for any pointers!
    Regards,  Dominic

    Success!
    I have made so many changes to settings meanwhile and become so fustrated that i´m not sure what triggered it to work anymore.
    In anycase I enjoyed my day here in Adobe Forums. I did alot of reading (alot!) and would like to say thanks to SnakEyez again aswell as thanks to all the other users I have taken notes from.
    here are the settings I have ended up with:
    - Joomla1.6 installed in c:xampp/htdocs/ (no subfolders)
    - local site folder and testing server folder are C:\xampp\htdocs\. (settings phpmysql and testing server applied)
    - site specific code hints: joomla
    - windows firewall disabled / zonealarm shutdown (creating program rule and opening port did not work)
    - unchecked "use alternative port 80" in skype (dnt forget to restart)
    I could install and run Joomla in localhost before, but couldn´t open in DW until making these changes.
    Dreamweaver CS5 and xampp-win32-1.7.4
    Hope this helps the next guy.

  • Keep getting error message about Dynamically-related files when trying to view in "Live" mode

    I'm very new to all of this, but I have been following Adobe tutorials to try and get everything working (Setting up a PHP development environment for Dreamweaver | Adobe Developer Connection) . The database connection test in this section goes through fine, but then when I go to view the final step, viewing comments.php in "Live View," I get an error across the top. I have played with it a bit, so the error message changes somewhat, but basically it tells me that I have dynamically-related files that can't be loaded. Currently, it is because they can't be resolved, previously, it was because they could not be discovered. (I tried the "Discover" option which failed, after which I resorted to the "Setup" option, in which I changed my root folder from htcdocs to htcsdocs/kitchengallery — where I had all my PHP and site files — and tried again to no avail. So then I changed the settings in MAMP to correspond with the change from htcdocs to htcdocs/kitchengallery. Still no luck).
    I am using Dreamweaver CS6.
    I'm not sure what information someone might need to help me dig deeper into this issue, but I'm all ears!

    Usually this is caused when antivirus "Grabs" the drive to scan it in the background, and/or windows itself "Grabs" the drive for indexing and things. It also happens if you play a song off the ipod thru iTUnes, then stop it.
    Usually rebooting will force it to let go
