Many web based membership systems run in PHP/MySQL on Linux servers (rather than MS Access which usually ties you to a Windows server).
You can develop this locally using WAMP http://www.wampserver.com/en/ then upload your site to a PHP-enabled server.

Macromedia Dreamweaver "Unidentified Error" PHP MySQL, help please

Ok,
I've been developing web applications with with PHP/MySQL for some time now, but had been unable to afford dreamweaver to help me out. Thus every website I made came from strait "notepad" style typeing. Everything always worked just fine. Recently though I got my hands on Macromedia Studio MX, but have been having troubles ever since then.
I wrote my own PHP script to connect to my MySQL database on my computer (localhost), and it worked like a charm. Then I went over to dreamweaver, followed all the steps, entered the information, clicked the "test" button and I get the an error "an unidentified error occured".
At this point I checked everything tried again, and then that rendered the same result, I went online and found the same problem at Macromedia's webstie: http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_16515
I've tried everything mentioned there to no avail. I was hopeing someone out there would know what is wrong with my connection. Quick summary:
Trying to connect with Dreamweaver to localhost MySQL database, with PHP MySQL settings. I get "an unidentified error occured". But the informaiton has been verified as correct with my own PHP script.

Sorry, but it doesn't help JTANNA.
What is your definition of "more efficiently"? If it's limitation of search results, branded search, and limitation of styling your results then google search is more efficient. Real developers rely on their own developments. For example: how can google search display results from a password-protected site? They can't.

"An unidentified error has ocurred" when connecting to mySQL in Dreamweaver MX

Hi All,
I've been trying & failing to figure this out for 2 days. I hope someone can help! I installed xampp on my local machine, got the Apache server, phpMyAdmin, and SQL up and running. My next step is to connect to my MySQL database in Dreamweaver MX. This where I'm running into trouble.
I've given super access rights to several db users in my MySQL database just to be sure that it wasn't a matter of not-enough-permissions. Here is a screenshot of the privileges: http://www.skyebrannon.com/db_privs.jpg
I am sure my connection information is correct, as I've used it to create a php page that lists my database tables.Those are working just fine Here is my info:
        $dbhost = "localhost";
        $dbuser = "root";
        $dbpass = "dbpassword";
        $dbname = "camin0_music";
When I put the same information in my MySQL Connection, I get "An unidentified error has occured".
Here is a screenshot of the error and my (working) connection info:
http://www.skyebrannon.com/db_error.jpg
My apologies if this has been asked & solved. If I missed a thread that answes this, could you please let me know?
Thanks so much!

Connect to mysql DB (An unidentified error has occurred.) plz need help...

I have been unable to create a database connection in dreamweaver to my MySql
server. Each time I receive the message "an unidentified error has occurred".
I can use pure php code to create a connection successfully:
<?php
$username = "root";
$password = "password";
$hostname = "localhost";
$dbh = mysql_connect($hostname, $username, $password)
or die("Unable to connect to mysql");
print "connected to mysql<br>";
$selected = mysql_select_db("test",$dbh)
or die("Could not select first_test");
if (mysql_query("insert into test_table values('5')")) {
print "successfully inserted record";
else {
print "Failed to insert record";
mysql_close($dbh);
?>
This works, I can successfully insert a record. However, if I try and create
a connection in Dreamweaver with these same variables, I receive the message
"an unidentified error has occurred". I have tried, deleting the _mm
connection scripts folder and recreating them. I have used the mx2004 updater,
I have tried all document types... nothing seems to work...
i am using local server (phptraid)
PHPTriad 2.2 contains the following changes:
Updated packages for Apache(1.3.23), MySQL(3.23.48) and PHP(4.1.1).
also using remote host at (www.0fees.net)
last thing i would to say in my computer i success only one time to make connection in window 7 - dreamweaver cs4
and i create this site mwlobby.0fees.net
but now i downloaded dreamweaver cs5 and i need to install new windows
so i need help
any suggestions?

Trouble Getting Dreamweaver 8 to work with MySQL: The "Unidentified Error"

I set up MySQL on my Macintosh yesterday, along with PHP --
all went fine yesterday, until I tried to connect Dreamweaver to it
(today I went back and uninstalled and tried to reinstall, and all goes less well -- can anyone tell me what
robert:/usr/local/mysql robert$ bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'himmel'
bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)'
signifies?)
In any case -- back to the story:
I go to connect to the DB in Dreamweaver 8, and when I try to set up the DB in the "databases" tab and click on the "database" field I get
"An unidentified error has occurred"
and then
"HTTP Error Code 404 File Not Found....
[Possible Reasons]: 1) No testing server running on this machine.
2) The Testing Server specified for this site does not map to the http://127.0.0.1/~robert/Sites/_mmServerScripts/MMHTTPDB.php?Type=MySQL&Connecti onString=host=localhost;uid=dwmx;pwd=mm&Host=localhost&&UserName=dmwx&Password=m m&Timeout=30 URL. Verifiy that the URL prefixs points to the root of the site."
Any clue? I know little about PHP or Unix, but am trying to learn.

There's a 64-bit version of Power Query which you should be able to get from the same site you downloaded the 32-bit version.
It sounds like you used "From SQL Server" to try to connect from Excel to MySQL. This will not work. You would likely need to acquire and install a MySQL ODBC driver and then use "From Microsoft Query". Similarly, to use MySQL from inside
Power Query, you will need to acquire and install a MySQL ADO.NET driver.

Unidentified error occurred when trying to connect to database (was: Dreamweaver issue )

I am unable to connect to a database. I get the following error
"An unidentified error occurred".
This is a test server that I am setting up. My directory structure looks as follows:

I am sure that something is not configured correctly, but I am not sure what?
Thanks

If your testing server is XAMPP or MAMP, you should put your site files in the htdocs folder of your local testing server.
C:\xampp\htdocs\YourSiteName
C:\mamp\htdocs\YourSiteName
If you use WAMP server, you should put your site files inside www folder.
C:\wamp\www\YourSiteName\
These are the default directories used by localhost when previewing in browsers.
Then define your local testing server in DW. See screenshots.
Advanced tab: Testing Server model.
If you haven't already, log-in to your local server's phpMyAdmin to create an SQL database and table.

Unidentified error when testing recordset, help please!

Hi,
I have created a dsn and a connection string that test fine on my web host (crystaltech), but I get an unidentified error when I test them on DW CS4. Any thoughts?
This is my connection string:
"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source=D:\inetpub\bnicrossroadsconnections\dbs\members.mdb;"
which generates this code:
<%
' FileName="Connection_ado_conn_string.htm"
' Type="ADO"
' DesigntimeType="ADO"
' HTTP="true"
' Catalog=""
' Schema=""
Dim MM_testConn_STRING
MM_testConn_STRING = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source=D:\inetpub\bnicrossroadsconnections\dbs\members.mdb;"
%>
My dsn code is:
<%
' FileName="Connection_odbc_conn_dsn.htm"
' Type="ADO"
' DesigntimeType="ADO"
' HTTP="true"
' Catalog=""
' Schema=""
Dim MM_memberconn_STRING
MM_memberconn_STRING = "dsn=memberdsn;uid=bnixroads;pwd=pass;"
%>
What am I doing wrong?
Many thanks!!!

You have to install Integration tool first and then the DB. Try this , via sql take all the companies offline and refresh your SAP B1 login. The companies will not be visible. Restart integration services. Make the companies Online.
In the SAP DB change the B1i password. It should be same as the B1i admin password.
Go to SLD, change B1user password.
Logout
Refresh Integration service.
Check the SLD connection.

Need help connecting database in Dreamweaver MX

I'm using Dreamweaver MX, XP Pro and IIS. I installed the
latest version of PHP (5.2) and have mySQL and the ODBC driver
installed.
I set up the testing site in Dreamweaver. Yet, Dreamweaver
cannot locate my database(s).
I followed steps to edit the PHP.INI file to work with
Dreamweaver correctly, yet it's not working. However, now instead
of getting "An unidentified error has occured", I'm getting the
vague "HTTP Error Code 500 Internal Server Error" error.
PHP was installed manually at first but that didn't work
right so I reinstalled it using the auto install. It should be
accurate, only I can't see where I would enter the path to the
database files; there is no line for that in the SQL section. But
it's in the default directory so it should know where it is
automatically ... ?
Help???!!! Can someone walk me through the steps to see why
it isn't pointing to the databases?

Bump.

An unidentified error has occured? trying to connect with database for forms

I am new to website development and have been using dreamweaver for my website.
I am using WAMP server and have all my files on the host.
In dreamweaver when i add the database details:
connection name : connlogin
mySQLserver: localhost
username: root
password:
select database:
when i go to choose a database i get the error "an unidentified error has occurred"???
i try typing the database name and click test and still get the same error messages. all the tutorials i have been following say it should show the databases...
Just for clarity i have created my database and tables. I need to link my forms to the database.
I have searched online on various forums and cant seem to find a solution that works.
if anyone can help it will be much appreciated.
Thanks

Log into phpMyAdmin. Right hand frame, look for Privileges at the top. Can you verify that either % (wildcard) or "localhost" is listed for the user under the "host" field? And that the user has either all privileges or the necessary privileges on the database.

Unidentified error when connecting to Mysql server

Hello,
I have two computers. Both computer 1 is configured with dreamweaver cs5 and is successfully connected to the ftp server and its database.
Computer 2 on the other hand with the same version of Dreamweaver and the same settings gives me an unidentified error when I try connecting to the database. I spoke to help chat for my server and confirmed all of the fields are entered in correctly and that I have allowed access to my server from any IP!
I have tried re-installing !
Localhost with Xampp works also!
No success !

Are you using any firewall/antivirus on computer 2?
If so, try to disable and then try,
Also make sure you have the Admin rights on Comp2.
Thanks

I did orriginally have MySql set up on my pc and had done some test databases but i have deleted everything now even MySql but i still get this error so i am missing something. Does anyone know why or how can i stop it defaulting locally. Thanks

An unidentified error has occurred - solved

Dreamweaver has always had this particularly unhelpful error message ('An unidentified error has occurred') when failing to connect to a data source. I've been beating my head against a wall for a week now trying to discover why just one of my sites was failing to connect to a MySQL database (and only on the testing server) in design view. It turns out that I had inadvertently caused a problem with a custom .htaccess written for friendly urls.
If you are using mod_rewrite you must not affect the _mmServerScripts folder, created by DW in your web root. I have now added this before my main rewrite rules:
#end rewriting process for special folders
RewriteRule ^(admin|_mmServerScripts)($|/) - [L]
Hope it helps someone else.

You don't say which server model or database you're using. If
it's
PHP/MySQL, see this detailed answer that I gave a couple of
days ago:

MySQL "An unidentified error has occurred"

I have just purchased Dreamweaver within the bundle of Master Collection CS5.5 Educational.
I have been using Dreamweaver since UltraDev days. However I have come up against this problem after installing Dreamweaver and trying to connect.
"An unidentified error has occurred"
I have used a few programs to identify what messages are being sent out and it appears that nothing is actually being sent from Dreamweaver.
I setup the site fine, so I can transfer files back and forth to the web server. The database is on a different server, and I can use MySQL Query to connect to the database from the same PC.
I can't seem to find what the issue is. I tried multiple mysql databases on different servers and the same issue. It seems Dreamweaver is not doing anything when I hit Test.
Any ideas?
Andrew

Well, I may be a little late on this answer... but maybe it will help. After a few hours of messing with this; I FINALLY figured it out.
First of all, you have to have your site settings as such:
Step One
Remote Server Settings
Server Name: *Insert Name
Connect using: FTP
FTP Address: yourdomain.com
Username: yourusername
Password: yourpassword
Root:
Web URL: http://yourdomain.com
Step Two
Testing Server Settings
Server Name: *Insert Name
Connect using: FTP
FTP Address: yourdomain.com
Username: yourusername
Password: yourpassword
Root:
Web URL: http://yourdomain.com
Click on the Advanced tab
Testing server
Server Model: PHP MySQL
Step Three (this is the tricky part, lol)
Click on file, then click New.
Create a NEW, I repeat... NEW PHP page.
Let it sit.
Step Four
Now enter your remote SQL settings.
Not sure why... but this worked for me after HOURS of:
"An unidentified error has occurred"

There are two common reasons for that happening:
1. An incorrect testing server definition, or
2. A software firewall is blocking access between MySQL and
Dreamweaver.
