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. Following is the Apache log file entries for those failed attempts. [Tue Jul 17 08:20:03 2012] [notice] Child 2656: Starting thread to listen on port 443.

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.

How to see html code in a php file using CS5.5 without using testing server?

In CS5.5 when I open a page with php extention, DW does not show any html code in design view without me having to set up a testing server. In DW 8 it would open the same files and show me the html in design view. I have no need to test php code, I just need to alter the html. Is there a setting I can change to enable this in CS5.5? Thanks.

Below is the code. I discovered that if I create a new php document not from
a template, then I can see the html elements in design view. If I create a
new page from a template and save it as html, design view still works, but
if I save a new page from template and save it as php, I only see symbols
for php and nothing else in design view.
Thanks for your help on this.

Flashplayer won't execute in IE7 on Terminal Server

Hi folks,
I'm having problems with Flash Player running for users on a Windows 2003 terminal server and it's driving me crazy!
Normal users on this terminal server when trying to view Flash content are prompted to install the latest version of Flash Player or enable Javascript in the browser in order to allow the player to run.
Here's the problem:
We already have Flash Player 10 installed on this server and Active Scripting is enabled for the Internet Zone within the browser.
If I make a normal user a member of the admin group, Flash Player executes as it should.
Clearly this is a security rights issue, but do you think I can work out which setting or restriction in IE7 is causing this problem ... that would be no ... so if anyone can offer any suggestions I'd be very grateful ... if only so that I don't lose my last remaining bit of sanity.
In case this helps:
TS is running on Windows 2003 Server R2 EE SP2
Browser is IE 7
IE security is set via GP
Flash Player installed is 10 on this server
Active Scripting is enabled for the Internet Zone
Flash will work for members of the admin group
Cheers, Innes (NZ)

For anyone coming along later, I managed to solve this based on another post to this forum. It was an issue with permissions in the registry.

Can't define testing server

I want to put dynamic content on my site. I am on the step where you add a testing server but when I do that they checkmark doesn't appear. It's like it's not recognizing it. I've done this a million times and can't figure out why it's not working for this site! I'm very frustrated.
Info I'm using:
Server model: ASP VBscript
Access: Local/Network
Server folder: I selected the folder on our server.
This always works. Today it's not and I'm totally stumped!

Everything is fine with the server. It has been set up to run ASP and PHP. I've used it in the past, recently actually and it worked just fine. But now it won't let me define the testing server for some reason. Or at least it won't recognize that I have so I can connect to the database.

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.

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,
Charles Newbury

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.

Open VI Reference Function won't execute in multi process application

I have a sub vi with Reentrant execution, and it has
recursive call on some cases.
It is very similar to OpenG VI “Read Key
(Variant)__ogtk.vi”, my sub vi works without any problem unit LabVIEW’s Two
Button Dialog is opened in other process loop.
I have attached a Test VI, and would like to understand why
would Loop 1’s Dialog box have any execution impact on Loop 2’s process?
Why Open VI Reference Function won’t execute when Two Button
Dialog is opened in other process?
LabVIEW version 8.6

Broken Arrow thanks for your reply, but not sure if I understand Modal dialog box would cause the problem.
I already had a work around by using Three Button Dialog VI, and it is s Modal VI.
I would still like to understand, why would DataFlow halt at Open VI Reference Function in Loop 2 when I use when Two Button Dialog?

How to save php files w/out testing server?

Don't shoot me, I'm totally not a techie. I know HTML pretty
well, but not php. But I did take over maintenance of a site built
with php. I use DW MX and never installed php. The site doesn't do
anything dynamic, but it does use includes. This is all fine, but
here's the problem:
My client bought DW8 and is now taking over maintenance
himself. He's less techie than I am, by the way, but he has used
DW4 without problems. So he's trying to play around with the site,
creating a new file and saving it with his DW8. But he gets an
error message saying that he's supposed to define a testing server.
I told him to go into the edit sites section and specify "none" for
server model and access (that's how I have it set up with my DW
MX). He said he tried that and it still won't let him save his
files.
So is there some way to tell Dreamweaver that even though
he's using a .php extension, the files don't need to be tested
locally? I'm having a tough time helping him with a product I don't
even have.
Thanks.

Have him IGNORE the error message by clicking NO.

Dream Weaver CS 3 Image Insert

Hello. I'm new here, and probably don't have right forum but here goes. Dream Weaver CS 3. I am trying to set up my first test web page and seem to do okay until I get to images. When I insert image and select what I want, it says "not in root folder, do I want to save image to this folder" I click yes, then try to insert. All I get is some kind of a "form image" I take it to be - looks like a place holder. If I drag the image its name appears at the insert point but no image.   What am I doing wrong, or where do I post this? Thanks.

Hi,
You dont need spry, its a simple nav bar is all. Most likely was created by hand.
This is the CSS code for it.
#navbar {
     width:960px;
     height:1.4em;
     margin:0 auto;
     text-align:center;
     line-height:1.4em;
This is the HTML code for it.
        <div id="navbar">
             <a href="index.html">Home</a>
             <a href="about-artigas-plumbing.html">About Us</a>
             <a href="services.html">Services</a>
             <a href="plumbing-tips.html">Tips & Hints</a>
             <a href="contact.html">Contact Us</a>
        </div>
The div layer is a simple way to contain the links then it uses the CSS to control the layout.
That kind of code is applied to each page or you could create a template then put that code into it and apply the template to a page. Then all pages with that template applied to it can be updated easily.

Dream Weaver CS 3 crashes when FTPING

I have just started to use Dream Weaver again, I used it a
few months back. When I click on remote site and test connection,
it crashes. I am on a IMAC running 10.5.5 and the latest Dream
Weaver CS3. I see resolutions using IP address and it does not
work. I have no fire wall issue since I can ftp files from the
command line. There is no Antivirus running. Any ideas?

Does Dream Weaver allow access to localised web servers?

Does Dream Weaver allow access to localised web servers, to test scrips?
Thanks in advance

Of course. I use WAMP server. Some people prefer XAMPP or MAMP. Whichever local testing server you use, be sure to put your site folder inside the local server's default web directory. On Wamp that is www. XAMPP & MAMP, use htdocs.
C:\wamp\www\yourSiteName
C:\xampp\htdocs\yourSiteName

.load method won't execute in published .swf

Hello
This line of code won't execute in a published .swf. Test movie (ctrl + enter) works fine.
j_session = new URLVariables();
j_send = new URLRequest("https://web.e-fon.ch/portal/j_acegi_security_check");
j_loader.load(j_send);
I'm assuming it's some type of network permission. Ideas?

upload to a server and test or add the file that contains that code to your trusted files.
also, you may need a cross-domain permissions file if that is a cross-domain request (if it's not, use a relative path) and you expect something returned to your flash.
also, you're not defining or sending any variables which may or may not be an issue.

PHP Local Testing Server Not Working!

Hi Guys,
I've just set up my PHP local testing server, although its not working properly! If you could help that would be so wonderful!
Here is my current settings:
Local Site Folder: C:\XAMPP\htdocs\valsoo\
Web URL: http://localhost/valsoo/
Server Folder: C:\XAMPP\htdocs\valsoo\
Local/Network
Server Model: PHP MySQL
I'm testing the 'local testing server' with a file called site_check.php which works in the Local Site Folder root (C:\XAMPP\htdocs\valsoo\site_check.php) but fails to work when the file is within folders (C:\XAMPP\htdocs\valsoo\lesson01). Not all files work in the root either. ANY SUGGESTIONS?
Thanks so much!

If site_check.php works, your local testing server is working.
What do you mean when you say that it fails to work when the file is in a folder, such as lesson01? What actually happens? What sort of files don't work in the root? Without more details, it's impossible to help.
If site_check.php is in C:\XAMPP\htdocs\valsoo\lesson01, you should be able to access the file through http://localhost/valsoo/lesson01/site_check.php.
