Live view test server won't execute php scripts
Hello everyone!
I've had a web developer design a site for me based on php.
Rather than bother them for simple image changes and content
updates, I'm trying to learn to do those things myself. I'm very
new to Dreamweaver and I'm having difficulties getting php script
to execute through my test server. I have the latest versions of
Dreamweaver, MySQL, php, and Apache installed on my machine. I've
downloaded the source files off of my hosting server. The problem
is when I try to "Live View" the "index.php" off of the root file
on the test server, Dreamweaver gives me an error that says:
"The testing server did not execute any of the scripts in
your document. Possible explanations include:
1.> The test server is not running
2.> The test server ignores files with .php. in the
extension
3.> The documents did not contain any scripts."
I know my system is working properly because I created a page
"timetest.php" with the following code:
<p>This page was created at <b><?php echo
date("h:i:s a", time()); ?></b> on the computer running
PHP.</p>
...and it works fine in "Live View".
Any ideas what the problem might be? I've been reading books
and searching online and I haven't been able to figure it out.
Here's what the code on "index.php" looks like:
What happens when you view your page on your test server in a
browser?
Are the php scripts executed?
Also, the macromedia.dreamweaver.appdev forum is a more
appropriate
place for this question, so you might get a better response.

Problems setting up testing server CS5 with existing PhP site copied to hard drive
A couple of years ago I dabbled in CS3 & PhP, but haven't touched it since 2009. I still have WAMP loaded on my machines. I'm now in a work situation where I was asked to see if I could make some simple copy updates to sites written in PhP. I copied the entire sites over to my hard drive, and placed them in the WAMP www root folder, and followed instructions to setting up the site in CS5 (which is pretty close to the CS3 setup). I made sure WAMP was running, and I'm still unable to connect. I am using "localhost" as part of the URL for the web server designation. I continue to get an "internal server error" message on these pages. I am able to, from my browser, type in "http:localhost" and it appears that WAMP is running properly. And I do remember to start WAMP before I start a DW session.
So, I kept experimenting. If I define a new PhP site and create a test document with simple PhP code, the connection to the testing server works and renders the code. It's just the existing PhP site I've copied over generates the Internal server message.
Is there something basic I'm not understanding about viewing and manipulating a PhP site created by someone else using DW CS5?The first question: on what platform? Windows - Mac?
I only succeeded in setting up a testing server on my Mac
with PHP and MySQL after reading a book of David Powers. On Leopard
I belief there still are problems connecting PHP to MySQL. -
DW CS5 - PHP in HTML file - no display in DW live view
Have DW CS5, Local IIS 7 (Win 7 64x) testing server (Server Model: PHP MySQL) set up and working. External browsers render .html files with PHP fine (URL=http://localhost/testphp.html), DW Live View will not parse/display the PHP with ".html" extension. No ".htaccess" file, DW PHP Tag Library has all PHP "Used In:" boxes checked. Example:
Example 1
File name: testphp.php
<html>
<body>
<h1>Hello There</h1>
<script language="php">
echo "Hello World";
</script>
</body>
</html>
DW Live View and external browser URL: http://localhost/testphp.php:
Hello There
Hello World
Example 2
File name: testphp.html (same content as above, just filename extension changed)
<html>
<body>
<h1>Hello There</h1>
<script language="php">
echo "Hello World";
</script>
</body>
</html>
DW Live View:
Hello There
external browser URL: http://localhost/testphp.html:
Hello There
Hello World
How to configure DW CS5 to display PHP in DW Live View with file extension= ".html"?
Thanks in advance, have spent 2 days trying to accomplish!
SteveFile name: testphp.php
<html>
<body>
<h1>Hello There</h1>
<script language="php">
echo "Hello World";
</script>
</body>
</html>
This is not PHP code
The red code part should read as to be classified as PHP script
<?php echo "Hello World"; ?>
File name: testphp.html (same content as above, just filename extension changed)
<html>
<body>
<h1>Hello There</h1>
<script language="php">
echo "Hello World";
</script>
</body>
</html>
Apart from the same mistake as above, this file will not be recognised as containing PHP without the PHP extension. You can setup the server to accept HTML and to interpret same as PHP, but I would not recommend this.
DW Live View:
Hello There
external browser URL: http://localhost/testphp.html:
Hello There
This is amazing! With the code above? If you hadn't told me I would not have believed it. I tried it on my humble setup and you are correct. It works using the PHP file but not the HTML file. It doesn't matter, it is still not correct.
How to configure DW CS5 to display PHP in DW Live View with file extension= ".html"?
It is not up to DW to determine, it is the PHP server that determines whether PHP in an HTML file will be shown. Have a look here http://php.about.com/od/advancedphp/p/html_php.htm .Once again, I do not recommend this
I hope this helps.

Trouble viewing php in live view or split screen
I have installed a testing server to render the php in my dreamweaver site. I have php5.3 on mac os x 10.6. The split view only shows a simple "php" logo or icon. Any idea what is going on? Or how to resolve the php rendering so that it provides a "live view" of the page?
Thank you for your reply. Apache is running and php is operational in that a query of http:// localhost replies with a "2" in response to a simple php script to echo 2.

My Live view doesn't work, it can't 'find my server'. But my server is connected and working. Why?
Hi,
I am confused as to why my live view can't connect to my server. However I have successfully connected to my server outside of the live view and uploaded my website.
I am new to dreamweaver, and I trying to learn to build a wordpress site from sractch. This is the error message I get:
The page "http://ftp.stoneinyrshoe.co.uk/index.php" was not loaded because Dreamweaver could not find the server "ftp.stoneinyrshoe.co.uk". Please make sure you are connected to the internet and the server name is correct.
When I direct Live view (testing) to use the same site details as my main connection, it still doesn;t work.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
ThanksThat's an FTP address you are trying to connect do. That's different from the regular HTTP protocol. From the address you posted I'm wondering if you have installed MAMP/WAMP for a local server on your machine or if this testing server is separate from the actual domain serving the pages. Can you explain your setup a little more?

Need Help Setting Up Testing Server
Hi. I have been using Dreamweaver for a while, but am
extremely new at the whole testing server thing, as I have been
building only simple pure-html pages.
I am want to password protect a part of my site using the
Insert > Data Objects > User Authentication > Log In User.
I have already converted my whole site from .html pages to
.php pages, because I thought that .html pages wouldn't work.
Everytime I try to use that Log In User menu command,
Dreamweaver gives me a dialog box that says, "Before inserting this
object, please do the following: 1. Create a site for this file 2.
Choose a document type 3. Set up the site's testing server".
Numbers 1 and 2 have a checkbox which I am assuming means they are
done correctly. But number 3 (set up teh site's testing server) has
no checkbox and the dialog box will not allow me to click OK, which
leads me to assume that I need to accomplish the aforementioned
step number 3.
So I go to the Site Definition for my site and under the
Advanced Tab go to Testing Server. I want PHP MySQL as the server
model, so I chose that. And I am guessing I need to choose
Local/Network for the Access option because
the computer I am building this site on is not connected to the
internet. (I have no intention of hooking this machine up to
the internet becauase all of my work I have ever done is on it!)
Now, here lies my main question: What should the Testing
server folder be? And what should the URL prefix be? And do I need
to change anything else?
If I am not being clear about anything regarding my
questions, please make a point of it, and I will try to be more
clear.
Thank you so much for helping!> Host Directory:/root folder/ (if no root folder
directory use "/"
Or leave it blank.
> FTP Host:yoursite.com
I see that this is a *real* domain, with a real registration.
It's best to
just use 'example.com' for dummy domain names.
> URL Prefix:
http://your-site.com/
Ditto. And by the way, there was no hyphen when you first
used this!

Help downgrade a php script generated by FB back to the old Mysql way
hey all
i am a Flex developer who has written server side stuff with php scripts that were auto-generated by Flash Builder. These scripts use the Mysqli extention, which is not avilable on my shared hosting server. These scripts implement simple CRUD functions to a MySql database. Anyone who has used the data wizard will recognize these scripts.
Just before i pay more bucks and move to a VPS server in order to enable Mysqli, is there anyone out there who can help me translate this script BACK to the old mysql way?
much appriciated, Saar

I've enabled the Apache server on my mac, and when I access my local IP address I can see the web page I've created. However, it appears that the server doesn't process PHP scripts, and just returns the source code of the PHP script when I try to open the script in Safari 4. How do I get the built-in Apache server to process PHP scripts and return the desired result?
PHP is disabled by default. To enable it, you must edit Apache's configuration file. To do this, open up /private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf with a text editor. The file is owned by root, so you'll need appropriate access to modify the file. Text editors like BBEdit or TextWrangler can make this step much easier.
Fairly early on in the configuration file is the section for the Dynamic Shared Object support - these are the modules that Apache loads to enable it to perform various tasks. In this section are a whole bunch of "LoadModule" statements - one for each module that Apache is loading. One of these is for PHP support. In the httpd.conf file on my machine, the built-in PHP module's statement is on line 114, the next to last item in this section. It reads: "#LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache2/libphp5.so" Remove the "#" from the beginning of the line, save the file, and restart Apache.
If you plan on using PHP files as the default page for a directory (index.php, for example), you'll need to add index.php to the Directory Index section (line 225 in my file). Apache looks for them in the order listed, so if you list index.php after the index.html that's already there, Apache will look for index.html when asked for the directory before looking for index.php. If you're going to have index.php for most of your directories, you may want to list it first, before index.html.
With regard to PHP itself, Apple's included PHP isn't any more official that the one I mentioned from Marc Liyanage. They're both compiled from the same source code. And, as far as updating goes, I'd argue that it's easier to update Marc's version, as you simply download an updated version and the installer will overwrite the old version. And, you don't have to wait for Apple to release a new version of OS X or a security update to see if you get a more current version. His versions will almost always be more current than the one Apple provides.
In any event, Marc's version does not remove Apple's version from your system. His installs in /usr/local/ and leaves Apple's version intact. So, you can always go back to Apple's version by changing a few lines in a configuration file. -
Setting up Dreamweaver CS4 with PHP testing server... Live View doesnt work
Hello,
Im trying to setup Dreamweaver CS4 with a php website im
making. Ive setup the site information, and provided a testing site
(XAMPP), and i can see the fully rendered .php pages in the Live
View tab. However, say i change some of the text in the .php file
(say from <p>Hello</p> to <p>Hi</p>) and
then click in the Live View tab - the page does not update. It
seems to do something, bit just returns the same.
How do i set it up so, like with plain .html pages, you can
make a change to the source code and instantly see the change in
Live View?
(At the moment i have to make the change to the source code,
save it, click Live View to cancel it, and then click Live View
again).
Background:
Ive setup XAMPP (G:\XAMPP\)
Ive setup vhosts in apache.
Ive stored my websites in G:\Websites
Ive set the testing server to G:\Websites\site, where "site"
is setup as a vhost and correctly displays when entered into a
browser.
Ive set the url prefix to
http://site/
Ive set local root to G:\Websites\site
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.> How do i set it up so, like with plain .html pages, you

Did you try using F5 to refresh the page? If that doesn't
work for you,
then you'll have to drop and restart Live view. No need to
save and reload
the page.

PHP won't execute on Dream Weaver testing server
I have successfully installed an Apache server and MySQL using Xampp. Using Dream Weaver (CS5.5) I've created .php pages which (after setting up the site and testing server) successfully connect to a database. However, php code on those pages won't execute. The pages only display the text code when IE or Firefox links to http://localhost/filename.php.

Anyone?
If PHP is running in other locations, then it's a configuration issue with the server whereby PHP is not allowed to run in the folder you have specified. I can tell you filenames and areas to look for, but I'm personally have never found the XAMPP installation to be the most intuitive when it comes to editing which is why I pointed you in their direction.
If you look in the httpd.conf file, you should see a DocumentRoot defined. Make sure that the site definition is within that document root. There should also be a Directory declaration ( <Directory "/path/to"> ) that should match the path of your DocumentRoot. It is possible to serve documents from different areas of your computer. Ususally this is done when you have things like phpMyAdmin above the root, so if you see multiple entries in there, some of which XAMPP installs itself, you should leave them alone and ask their support forum for help because they will know which entries the application puts in that you will not want to remove. -
I am using a Macbook Pro with Yosemite and cannot get live view to work in conjunction with my local server or with my php files.
What could be wrong? I have set up/synced everything with my root folder in htdocs.

Testing Server / 'Live View' not working
Hey guys, I'm trying to create my first e-Commerce site in Business Catalyst and having a bit of an issue with setting up testing. I've downloaded multiple basic templates from 'BC' and they all seem to be giving me the same issue.
Issue:
When using Dreamweaver CC's 'Live View' (which seems to be a one stop shop for testing changes without them pusing to the live site) the encompassing template in a page is displayed correctly, but the content area always displays 'Page not Found'. Take a look at the attached image to see exactly what I mean.
I've contacted support and browsed the form, but it seems I am the only one with this issue. Again I've tried it with multiple templates on multiple computers. Am I missing something simple? What does everyone else use for testing? Please help.Hi,
When you press the "Live" button in Dw, it asks you if you want to save the file before putting. If you select No, and there's also NO such file on the server, then you'll have the "Page not found" message displayed.
Hope this helps.
Kind Regards,

Browsers won't open some php testing server files
Running DW 8, OS 10.4.10, Apache virtual testing server with
php local site.
I've Firefox and Safari as primary and secondary browsers.
When working on a
page, if I select 'preview in primary browser', Firefox opens
the page with
my virtual url...no problem. Lately, some php files will not
open. Firefos
give a dialog to open the file in default (DW) or save to
disk. This is very
frustrating since one file it does this to is a login page.
Safari does the
same thing!
I have select the file in question in the finder (extension:
,php) and
through the Get Info and told Mac OS to open this file with
Firefox and all
.php extensions. Rebuilt prebinding so all php files in the
Finder show a
Firefox icon, but still neither Firefox nor Safari will open
them. They
don't recognize the
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=ISO-8859-1" />
Metatag. The really frustrating thing is that only some files
behave this
way. Most of the others work fine and I can't see anything in
the headers
that would cause one to open and not another. Has anyone ever
run across the
behavior before and if so, what was the cause?
Thanks,

True, I'm running Apache 1.3, but I'm leery of trying to
upgrade to a newer
version for fear of messing up everything that already works.
Had a real
headache getting MySQL 5, PHP 5 and phpMyAdmin all up and
running with DW 8.
Fortunately I had David Powers book that gave pretty much
idiot proof
instructions on how to install all this stuff. I'd never been
able to do it
left to my own devices. Another caveat is that my webhost,
like most, is
behind the upgrade curve: they run MySQL 4.1 and phpMyAdmin
2,8 so if I
upgrade too much there may be compatibility issues.
Another oddity, renaming that file from .php to .html
extension causes it
to open fine in Firefox and Safari. I don't think it's kosher
to keep it
that way since it does contain DW8's login php scripts.
Again, there's no
problem with other .php files. -
I need help getting my local testing server to work - PHP/MySQL
Hello,
I am using DW CS5 and have installed XAMPP for my Server/PHP/DB package (which is the same as my live site).
I have gone thru every tuitorial and all information on this subject, and unfortunately I can't get the server set up correct. Other than my page not showing in a browser (or live view) when I try to view it, DW just says: "Dynamically-related files could not be resolved because the site definition is not correct for this server" when I have index.php open and try to find the files.
One major question is I am unsure of what folder to have as the root folder of the site, which has a public_htlm directory and www directory - or do I just use the main folder they are both located in as the root folder?
(Not to get too deep with this first question, but I also looked at the error log file in Apache c:\xampp\apache\logs\error.log and it is not finding the following:
[Tue Oct 09 14:26:38.573504 2012] [:error] [pid 3100:tid 1488] [client ::1:56261] script 'C:/xampp/htdocs/BusinessTube/index_e5pebna8e.php' not found or unable to stat]
I'm guessing that the file "index_e5pebna8e.php" is a cached version of the file generated by index.php - but I'm unsure why it is not being 'found'.)
Second question is about having to set the php.ini file to listen to port 88 as this computer also has IIS installed. I have done this, and it works with a local project directly from NetBeans (which I have to use for a PHP development class). How will this change my DW site definitions? I'm assuming that anywhere I would have localhost I will now need to have localhost:88 but once again I'm not sure.
I am eager to get this site working locally so I can start using the new PHP skills I'm learning - any help will be GREATLY appreciated.
KirkYou're getting mixed up over the meaning of public_html.
Most hosting companies that offer PHP use the Apache web server, which has a single server root folder called htdocs. XAMPP also uses Apache, so c:/xampp/htdocs is the XAMPP server root, and its URL is http://localhost/.
Although Apache has only one server root, virtual hosts make it possible to run multiple websites on the same server. Each virtual host is located in a separate folder that acts as the site root. It's common for this folder to be called public_html. What bregent was describing was the location of the site root on your remote server. The name of the site root in your local testing setup can be whatever you decide to call it.
When learning to use PHP, most people use a subfolder of the Apache server root because it doesn't require further configuration. However, once you're working with real sites, it's normal to set up a virtual host for each one. I create all my virtual hosts in a folder called C:/vhosts. So for example, I might have one in C:/vhosts/site1. In the virtual hosts configuration file, I designate C:/vhosts/site1 as the root folder for a virtual host called site1, which can then be accessed as http://site1/.
The only reason I might have a folder called public_html is if I designated C:/vhosts/site1/public_html as the site root.
I hope that's clear. Once you understand the principle of virtual hosts, the concept of the site (or server) root becomes obvious, but it can be difficult to explain. I remember it took me a while before the concept sank in.
