ATTN: Snow Leopard php, MySQL, phpMyAdmin

Heya,
I got Snow Leopard installed and first thing I did was setup a testing server. It's a little bit different process from Leopard 10.5 so I wrote up a little info on how to set it all up. Check out http://DwFAQ.info/home.php?id=18 for info on how to setup php, MySQL, phpMyAdmin on Snow Leopard.

Hmmmm... I did a clean drive install of Snow Leopard because I used to do it once a year with Windows and hadn't done it in 3 with my MBP.
First, my httpd.conf file had the line enabling PHP commented out, so when I went to see my simple file with phpinfo(), I saw the source. Saw your post, thought it was the timezone, fixed that (which will probably make wordpress happy when I get it running), and it still didn't work. Looked at the httpd.conf file, found that PHP was disabled by default, fixed that line, restarted the server, and my phpinfo() worked like a charm.
Also if you want to edit config files, I use TextWrangler's "open hidden files" option.
But... I have no /usr/local directory at all. Doesn't exist on my machine. Checked the options in the base install and MySQL isn't offered as an option. Checked the optional installs and MySQL isn't there. Even letting spotlight search for hidden files, the only files with MySQL in their name were from php scripts in my web folders.
There's some stuff about installing/compiling from source.
http://hivelogic.com/articles/compiling-mysql-on-snow-leopard/
Dunno if I want to go down that road quite yet.

Apache, PHP, MySQL, phpMyAdmin

Hi, I'm upgrading to snow leopard and I want to setup my local webserver but I had some problem with phpmyadmin and mysql.
I've activated the pre-installed apache server from the system preferences panel and I've uncommented the load module of the php5 from the httpd.conf.
Which version of MySQL I have to use? And how can I configure the phpMyAdmin?
I've done this on my macbook with leopard, but I'm not beb able to do it on my iMac with snow leopard.

Umm.. well I know where the log files are for apache, but they're unlikely to help me fix mpd I found the .error and .log files for mpd, they're in $HOME/.mpd/ , but they're both empty! This is really frustrating.. what the hell can it be? mpd was fine yesterday.. it connects on the default port, 6600, is it possible that one of the LAMP pieces of software is interfering with this? Yet if that were the case, surely me stopping all the LAMP-related daemons would allow me to start mpd...
The only other thing I've change since yesterday is my /etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost kaminoitte
That's fine though, isn't it?
Gaargh, this is doing my head in :evil:
EDIT: Aah.. it might be a groups problem.. maybe. I've got it in my mpd.conf to run under user 'dave', but I accidentally used 'useradd' instead of 'usermod' yesterday when adding myself to the mysql group I made, so I may be missing from one of the necessary groups. I added myself back to optical and video yesterday.. would someone using mpd be good enough to post 'grep [mpd_username] /etc/groups' for me?
EDIT2 (1 minute later): Hehe, I just noticed I didn't add myself back to 'audio'... what a muppet. Problem solved! XD

Lighttpd + php + mysql not working after upgrade

Hello!
I have been using Arch for a couple of years now and I love it. However, recently I made an upgrade (pacman -Syu) on one web server and I can't get the lighttpd server back to working state. If I start it with "/etc/rc.d/lighttpd start" it looks like everything is ok. Even "/etc/rc.d/lighttpd status" returns that it is [STARTED] , but when I try to stop it, it returns FAIL. I assume that something is preventing the lighttpd to start, but there is nothing in the lighttpd log, neither in error.log. I have also tried to reinstall all the packages, but with no difference.I have to fix it, but I don't know where to start. Thank you for any hints you may provide.
Best regards!

If DW 2014.1 cc does not support database, binding, server behavior, and PHP/MySQL require it, but using Adobe Extensions Mngr IS NOT recommended, then WHAT TOOLS do we use to develop a database with DW?

I'm using windows DW 2014.1 cc. I'm following lynda.com tutorials to build a website database with PHP and MySQL. I learned I have to download Adobe Extension Mngr to active DATABASE, BINDING, SERVER BEHAVIOR panels, which I've done. BUT NOW I'VE BEEN ADVISED NOT TO USE THESE TOOLS for new development. If this is the truly the case, then WHAT TOOLS DO I USE to develop a website that has a database?

then WHAT TOOLS DO I USE to develop a website that has a database?
Besides the tools you would already need for a system using server behaviors (web server, PHP, MySQL, phpMyAdmin) the only extra tool you need is your own brain.
A lot of people are disappointed by the lack of database tools in DW now, but really it's much better this way. You can never achieve better than a rinky-dink dynamic website using server behaviors. The code Dreamweaver dynamic behaviors create is really terrible. (I'm not insulting the fine folks who wrote the feature. It's just a consequence of automated code.) You can write better, simpler, more maintainable code yourself, and over time you will improve. With server behaviors you cannot improve. you get stuck in database kindergarten.

Can't connect PHP/MySQL 404 error

Wow, the learning curve is killing me. Yet another challenge. I'm using Dreamweaver CC and this tutorial http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/setup_php.html
I'm at this step:
Open comments.php. You must have a PHP page open in the Document window to create a MySQL connection.
In the Databases panel (choose Window > Databases), click the Plus button on the panel and select MySQL Connection.The MySQL Connection dialog box appears.
Type connTest as the connection name.
For the MySQL Server, type localhost.If you are using the MAMP default ports on a Mac, use localhost:8889.
For the User Name, type phptestuser.
Type the password you chose for the phptestuser account in the Password field.
For the Database, type php_test.Note: You don't need to precede the underscore with a backslash here. It was inserted by phpMyAdmin in the previous section (see Figure 20) only because phpMyAdmin uses a query that permits wildcard characters.
Click Test.Dreamweaver attempts to connect to the database. If the connection fails, do the following:
Double-check the server name, user name, and password.
Check the settings for the folder Dreamweaver uses to process dynamic pages (see Specifying a Testing Server for Dreamweaver).
Verify that the web and MySQL servers are both running.
Temporarily disable any firewall or security program. If the connection works, you need to configure the security program to permit communication between Dreamweaver and MySQL.
Click OK. The new connection appears in the Databases panel.
Expand the connTest connection, and then expand the Tables branch. You'll see the comments table in the database, which you can expand to reveal the details of the table columns (see Figure 23).
As far as I can tell I have followed this tutorial to the letter.
As far as I can tell, XAMPP/php mySQL are all running fine, the files are in the correct place and everything should be working. However when I hit test I get a 404 error. (Same error when I hit the select button.)
The suggested problems on the 404 message are:
1. There is no testing server running on the server machine.
Pretty sure the testing server is running. Is there any way to test this, other than to note that xampp is definitely running right now and that I can log into phpMYadmin no problem?
2. The testing server specified for this site does not map to the http://localhost/php_test/_MMServerScripts/MMHTTPDB.php URL Verify that the URL Prefix maps to the root of the site.
Ummm...I'm pretty sure I put things where I was told to put them in the tutorial, but I'm lost at this point where I should verify what. A clue here? The files are where they are supposed to be, but maybe I entered something wrong? Except...I'm not sure what that could be or where to find it. Whatever IT is.
Everything in local files is looking good.
Thanks for your help!
PS: Extra points to anyone who figures out how to make copy/pasteable error messages! These buggers are the bane of my life!

Bgupta, you rock!
I hope you have copied the "mysql.php" and "MMHTTPDB.php" files from "C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CC\locale\Configuration\Connections\Scripts\PHP_MySQL\_mmDBScripts" to "C:\xampp\htdocs\phptest\_mmServerScripts"
This was EXACTLY the problem. I checked the tutorial and I couldn't even find where the tutorial said to do this. (If I missed it, let me know where in the tutorial it was, please.)
Fixed!

Apache2, PHP, MySQL Help

Hi,
Sorry if this is a bit of a newbie thing todo but I am not too good with solaris configuration yet.
Can anyone supply a decent step by step and easy tutorial/how-to on how to set up Apache, PHP, MySQL and PHPmyadmin on a SPARC solaris 10 box please...
Thanks Rob

Can anyone supply a decent step by step and easy
tutorial/how-to on how to set up Apache, PHP, MySQL
and PHPmyadmin on a SPARC solaris 10 box please...Setting up Apache is very easy since all it takes is setting it up. Its installed by default, you can check /etc/apache for an example configuration file. Next to that www.apache.org/docs/ is also a very valuable read.
<blunt SPAM>
You could also consider looking into the Java webserver (formely SunONE). Its currently being made available for free with the Java Enterprise System and compares very well to Apache. If you'll also be doing some Java it would be a better choice (IMO its a better choice than Tomcat) and it can also do PHP.
http://www.sun.com/software/products/web_srvr/home_web_srvr.xml
http://www.zend.com/sun/?article=/sun/index.php&kind=&id=6179&open=1&anc=0&view=1
http://www.php.net/
</SPAM>
As you'll note I included the PHP website because with the above setup you'd also need to manually setup PHP. If you have the companion CD present you can install the PHP module which will end up on /opt/sfw/apache. This directory will also present you a php.ini example which will need to be placed in /etc/apache as well. Setting it up is basicly following the documentation in the ini file, and the Apache documentation on adding an extra module (/opt/sfw/apache/libexec/libphp4.so).
MySQL. Also very easy since its shipped with Solaris as well. Look into /etc/sfw/mysql for a README which covers the most essential steps to set it up. In short you'll need to setup a few directories for MySQL to work and optionally (but recommended) copy the default config file to /etc (/etc/my.cnf) which will define certain basic settings. The readme explains. Next you're likely to need the MySQL guide (if you're new with MySQL) which can be located at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/index.html.
This applies to the version (close enough anyway) which is shipped with Solaris. From personal experience I can say that MySQL 5 will also run very well on Solaris 10.
Finally the PHPMyadmin... That really is an RTFM issue, once you have your environment setup (Apache and the likes) its likely you only need to copy it to your document root and point your browser to it.
Hopes this helps somewhat.

(PHP/MySql) Create Recordset but no column

Thanks for reading this, I am new to PHP/MySql
I have created a website www.ritchiecraft.co.uk which uses
PHP/MySql with Dreamweaver 8. I have created recordsets on most
items pages and filtered data as neccessary. After the site was up
and running I was required to insert a new topic and when I went to
create a new page and insert the recordset no data was placed in
the columns area and the filter/sort options were greyed out. I
checked the existing pages and found that this was happening to all
pages with recordsets. The connection, table data was there.
The site still works fine but I cannot introduce new pages or
edit existing because of the recordset problem. I was advised
previously to delete the Dreamweaver cache file but this did not
help.
The site is hosted commercially and the database was created
with phpMyAdmin and dont seem to have any connection problems.
Thanks for your time and any suggestions are welcome.

You can't do it through the Recordset dialog box. The simple
way to do
it is to create this query in the Recordset dialog box:
SELECT * FROM myTable
ORDER BY myOrder ASC
Then go into Code view and locate the following line:
$query_recordsetName = "SELECT * FROM myTable ORDER BY
myOrder ASC";
Change it to this:
if (isset($_GET['id'])) {
$col = get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($_GET['id']) :
$_GET['id'];
$col = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['id']);
else {
$col = '*';
$query_recordsetName = "SELECT $col FROM myTable ORDER BY
myOrder ASC";

PHP/MySQL Help Needed

I'm a beginner with this PHP/MySQL language, but I'm using
Dreamweaver CS3 to help things along. I've set up my database with
my host (using PHPmyAdmin) and put in a table with some fields.
Then I went into Dreamweaver and set up everything and it saw the
database name perfectly. Then I made a recordset and it saw the
fields just fine. I then made an input page to put the data into
the database and that went off without a hitch. I then made a basic
webpage with nothing but the call to display 2 of the fields in my
database (I did the test in dreamweaver and it saw all the data I
populated my database with perfectly). I then told it to preview in
Firefox and got a blank page... Ok I must have done something
wrong, so I put in some basic text just so I could see if even that
would show up correctly. Then I previewed in Firefox again and not
only did it show up, but the 2 fields showed up as well! Yea! So I
made some changes to the fields I wanted to show and again did a
Preview in Firefox. I was again treated to a blank page. Not even
my basic text was showing up. I went back to Dreamweaver and added
some more text... preview... works perfectly showing everything. I
refresh the page and it's blank. I close Firefox and preview again.
It's a blank page, but for the heck of it I decide to View Source
and lo and behold all the data is there. I close the source and try
reloading the page... blank. I'm at a loss. Any idea why this might
be happening?

Sorry, I haven't tested anything on an Intel Mac yet. Testing
everything
on Vista for my new Dreamweaver book has given me enough of a
headache.
However, I'm pretty sure that my editor has an Intel Mac, and
he
followed the instructions in "PHP Solutions" without any
major hiccups.
(They're pretty much the same as in the Flash book.)
Isn't there a MySQL.prefPane icon in the MySQL installation
package? I
have found that MySQL won't start automatically on 10.4 (it
did on
10.3), but as long as you install the prefPane, you should be
able to go
in and start it manually.

Dreamweaver PHP/mySQL poll problem?

Hi,
I'm a PHP/mySQL noob who's using some of Dreamweaver's 8
(8.2) out-of-box Update server behaviors to update a database of
results for a poll. I know there's a lot of free polling apps out
there but I need to have the poll show up in another page as
opposed to being refreshed/displayed in the same page/content area.
I've successfully built the backend in phpMyAdmin and I'm
able to list the database contents and do basic updates to the poll
questions and answers. However, I've been unable to pass an
incremented result value via a Dreamweaver radio button group
(which is the normal poll format) without previous unselected
results being overwritten.
When an answer is selected the result is indeed incremented
and is displayed in the Result Listing but unfortunately it also
overwrites any preexisting data for that poll and replaces it with
zero. For example:
Question:
Answer a) 0
Answer b) 0
Answer c) 1 (this would be the value that was selected)
Answer d) 0
If c is selected again the value is stored and incremented
and the value is now 2. However, if that value is not selected,
then another value is incremented and c would be wiped. I've even
resorted to trying to use javascript to maintain the original state
but to no avail I was just previously incrementing the inline php
radio button value and/or assigning different names to each of the
radio buttons. This, of course, allows people to select multiple
values which runs contrary to the whole idea behind radio buttons,
but I thought I'd see if that worked . Anyway, when the radio group
is assigned the same value it merely increments everything.
example:
http://www.dailydatum.com/funFacts/funFactsListingSingleUpdate15.php
As you can see, i'm up to version 15 and gritting me teeth,
lol. Any help would be mighty appreciated.
Mario

hi ,
you can always try the macromedia devnet sites , they have
ongoing tutorials and discussions on all areas, including php with
dreamweaver8.
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/topics/php.html
be aware though that some of the tutorials require the use of
third party php extensions, like interakt products, which is a
shame because most of them are expensive to buy. But they are still
worth a read.
hope this is some help.

Host recomendation - linux - php/mysql

Hi gangsters and molls :)
I'm looking again for some advice from the knowledgable
contributors of
this forum, of which there are many, many, many!
I'm in need of a host, that provides php/mysql linux and some
good
online instructions (preferably the hosts own instructions)
about
tranfering/connecting the database up. I'm as thick as two
planks when
it comes to moving the the dynamic technical stuff over to a
remote
host, so bear that in mind. I try but I'm getting old and
past my
sell-by date :(
I've done this on a couple of occasions (some time ago
though), spent a
good few hours resolving connection issues but finally
everything
worked. However if anyone knows of a good host and some good
walk ya
through instructions to save me some hassle I'd be grateful.
I'm not really that bothered where the host is (preferably uk
but I'm
open minded)........EASE OF USE & SET-UP is paramount on
this ocassion.
Cheers!

Humm....why does a connection to a remote database seem so
imposing.
Should be a simple drag and drop solution.
I don't even know where the database file is created on my
Mac but
apparently you have to create a 'dump' file to transfer it to
a remote
location. I can do that in phpMyAdmin but wouldn't it be
simple if there
was an identifiable file which you could just grab hold of
and drag
across.......bummer all seem complicated to me.

Humm I have some instruction docs from a host that I have
previously
used but thaey might as well be written in chinese.
Do you know if I can set up a website on one server and have
it pull
information from a database which is hosted on another
server?

Where can I download the latest PHP MySQL libraries?

my phpMyAdmin panel says "Your PHP MySQL library version 5.0.82 differs from your MySQL server version 5.1.45. This may cause unpredictable behavior."
I should update Leopard's PHP MySQL library to 5.1.45 or downgrade MySQL to 5.82… but I can't find any.
In the while I find MySQL 5.0.82 or an alternative fix…
Do you know where I can find those libraries?
Thanks.

I found that newest php works with its own mysql (5.0.9, or so) and it's not using mine. I'd rather install back the one shipped with Leopard if I had to go versions back.
Also, I couldn't get it to work (#2002 error, sockets were there but still not working) and once I uninstalled it, it was supposed to leave the OS untouched, but Leopard's didn't come back to life. I had to add the following lines to httpd.conf, otherwise the php code was shown, instead of executed.
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
I'd think I saw the previous mysql folders somewhere and Leopard making an alias to the right one somewhere. Do you remember where?

Taking my PHP/MySQL site online - how?

Hi,
Once I have developed a site on my local PC in DW, utilizing
PHP and MySQL Administrator, how do I make it work online?
Obviously I need to use the built-in FPT function in DW - but
how do I transfer the database files to the server?
I have searched for an anser to this question for a long time
- but all the tutorials I find (and I have found a number!) help me
develop my site locally - and then say nothing about taking it
online.
I have developed a number of sites using ASP/Access. When I
take such a site online, I need to change the connection-string. Is
the process the same for PHP/MySQL sites? If yes, what change do I
need to make? And what database-file do I upload to the server, and
where do I put it?
Here is where I want to get: I want to have my site locally,
so that I can make any changes to it when necessary - and then
upload it so that it now uses the online database. ASP/Access
allowed me to have both locally, so that I could make any changes.
Downside is of course you have two versions of the database, one
local, one remote.
My host uses PHPMyAdmin. I see I can download a version of
this and use it locally. Should I do that and use that? Does it do
the same as PHP Administrator?
As you can see I have many questions. I think I am missing a
few key-thoughts that will help me understand PHP and MySQL and
make go "oh, now I get it!'
Please feel free to point me to tutorials that you believe I
will find helpful.
Thanks for your help in advance!

Sounds like you need to export your database and then import
it into
your production server. Then upload the website, adjust the
connection
string so that its pointing to the correct server with the
correct
credentials and away you go.

Ruby | Php | Mysql on iMac Apache

Hello,
I am a developer who is trying to get my iMac to run local versions of all the languages I use.
I have been successful in the following:
Establishing Ruby and mysql on the built in apache server
Installing MAMP to serve as the php, mysql machine
This has left me with a problem.
I have two versions of mysql on my machine, and they are independent. What I would like is to consolidate, preferably by getting php to run on the built in apache. I have been unsuccessful in my attempts to compile and make php.
A worst case scenario would be telling phpMyAdmin on MAMP to read from the mysql database on the built in server.
The Goal: access my Ruby on Rails databases through phpMyAdmin.
Any suggestions, links or points in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

PHP isn't enabled. You have to go into /etc/httpd.conf and uncomment a couple of lines.
10.4.11 has PHP 4 I think. It does not have GD. I see many posts here with people trying to build their own PHP with gd and failing miserably. I've tried to explain to people how to do it, but they want a 3 minute fix. A 30 minute fix just isn't good enough and they will spend weeks trying to get the 3 minute fix to work.
Here is what you do:
1) Enable PHP by uncommenting
# LoadModule php4_module libexec/httpd/libphp4.so
and
# AddModule mod_php4.c
2) Restart Apache via "sudo apachectl restart" or turning Web Sharing off and back on.
3) Create the standard phptest.php file containing only "<? phpinfo() ?>" and open it in a browser.
hopefully you'll see everything you need. If you need to add additional modules:
4) Go to Apple's open source page, select the appropriate directory for your OS and processor.
5) Download the "apachemodphp-18.8" project (note this is PHP4, if you want 5, download it from the 10.5 directory - it should work).
6) Collect the additional, non-default packages you want to use. Build and install them via regular configure, make, make install.
7) Inspect the Makefile that comes with the Apple PHP. I don't know if the Makefile will work or not. It may need other parts of the darwin open-source environment. It does have the configure options used to build PHP. Go into the PHP directory, and configure using Apple's options and any additional options of your own, make, and make install.
There are many other threads dealing with PHP and GD but almost everyone is trying to hack up something they got from Fink. If you need to hack around with things, it would be better to start with Apple's default settings and the default settings of any 3rd party libraries.
