Getting 'unidentified error occured' while database connecting on local computer

Question

I have downloaded CS5 Dreamweaver trial version on my c
omputer, with windows 7.
I have also downloaded easy php as php-mysql-apache server on the same computer.
While creating a databse connection, I get following message
'Undefined error ocurred'.
and the connection does not take place.
If I close the connection wizard, with giving database name, connection is shown on the applications pane, but when tables icon is clicked, no tables are show.
Also when I try to create a recordset, it shows that there are no tables in the databse.
I have insertd screen shots of the connection wizard.
Kindly help.

Answer 1

I'm not familiar with EasyPHP, but it should work the same as any other local testing environment.
In the Servers panel, deselect the Remote checkbox. Leave only the Testing checkbox selected.
Something unusual about the Local Info panel is that the Web URL, although grayed out, is accessing http://127.0.0.1:8888. Localhost is an alias for 127.0.0.1, so that's not a problem, but the colon followed by 8888 is a non-standard port. Does EasyPHP run Apache on port 8888? If so, you need to change the Web URL in the Server Basic panel to http://localhost:8888/InventaEnqFrm/.
Also, if Apache is running on port 8888, it's very likely that MySQL is running on port 8889, so you would need to use localhost:8889 in the MySQL Connection dialog box.
The other obvious thing to check is that both Apache and MySQL are running.
By the way, it's normal practice to put the local files in the same location as the testing server.
