Set Up Test Server

The guy who developed our website recently disappeared
leaving me with the responsibility of making the minor changes we
needt to make. I only think this is relevant because I really have
no business doing this and I'm hoping that you all will help me
through my issue and not tell me to hire a professional.
Anyway I installed Dreamweaver and IIS on my XP Pro machine.
I set up the remote server and downloaded (Get) the entire site
onto a network drive. I set the Local root folder to the location
that I downloaded the site. I set the Testing Server folder to the
same location. Given my experience I thought I would change/test in
the local copy of the site and then Put the changes up for the
world to see.
The URL Prefix for my Testing Server is:
http://localhost/.
When I try to preview my changes I get a page can not be
found error. I believe this is because the local copy of my website
is not in the C:\Inetpub folder. Do I have to move it?
Do I have to set up a Virtual Directory in IIS? Is it right
that I can't do this if my website is on a network drive?
My website does not have a wwwroot page, does that matter?
I read IIS and Dreamweaver help files today and still
couldn't figure this out. Thanks for the help.
Po
Also - I tried to copy the installation of the software on
his computer but it doesn't work. I think he changed stuff and IIS
isn't even there.

Is the site using ASP? Or ASP.NET?

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.

Will not set up testing server

I have done this in the past many times. Recently DW 8 will
not set up a testing server when I chose local network.
I am running Windows XP Pro, version 5.1, Service Pack 2.
This is driving me crazy.
Any help.
Also, I can figure out how to call and pay Macromedia for
help with this. Any advice on that.
Thanks.

> Testing server folder points to a folder.
> URL is
http://localhost
Actually, the path to the testing server would usually be
like -
c:\inetpub\wwwroot
And usually, you would want your testing server to point to a
FOLDER within
the webserver's root, e.g.,
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\folder
Use a different folder for each site so that you don't get
all your site's
files jumbled up in the webserver's root folder.
Then you would want to specify a URL prefix for your site of
http://localhost/folder
So -
Server Model: ASP VBScript
Access: Local/Network
Testing server folder: c:\inetpub\wwwroot\folder
URL Prefix:
http://localhost/folder
Is that how you have it?

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!

Errors when trying to set up testing server in CS3

Hi,
Ive tried to find the answer to this by googling, but cant
sort it out.
Ive been setting up php/apache/mysql in windows vista -
dwcs3.
Please bear in mind that I am very wet behind the ears with
all this , at
the moment.
Ive been working out of Davids Essentials - CS3 ver. book.
All was going
well. I tested php with the test.php page that was in the
book download.
Tested Apache - got the "It worked" page.
Ive got the Apache symbol in the bottom tray, with the little
green arrow in
the feather.
So far so - so good.
Then I set up the testing server stuff for dreamweaver. Used
the server
root .
Did everything - so I thought - by the instructions.
Tested a php page, by clicking on "live data view" in DW -
then got the
"Forbidden. You dont have permission to access
/php_testing/datatest_40uvgbduqp.php on this server"
Im lost at this point. I searched google, but cant really get
an answer to
it there, there was some stuff about changing permissions,
but Im not really
sure how to do this with a local site. and php/apache seemed
to be working
before setting up the testing server in DW.
Also, when I go to my browser and browse to
localhost/test.php or whatever,
it tells me it cant display the page, cos Im not logged in.
Any help, would be wonderful.
REgards
Fiona

After one headache, more googling, and hours of scanning the
apache
configuration file, I think I found it.
I had changed the root folder from the standard
C:/programfiles/apache..../etc to D:/htdocs but the
configuration file in
Apache was still showing the original root folder path.
Just for interest sake, if I did have to change the
permissions on files
that were just on my local computer, how do you do that, or
should I ever
need to do that?
Regards
Fiona

Issue with Setting Up Test Server for PHP/MySQL to work

I've got a few newbie issues
which I hope someone can help with!
I'm trying to get Security Assist to work, so I've put MYSQL and workbench on my computer to get it going. I haven't created a test server in PHP, because I'm wondering if it will affect my already running website ftp? Will it take down my company website if I create a test server with the same ftp as my website?
So, I created a model in workbench (table) and I've tried to connect mysql to dreamweaver. I keep getting an error when I try to connect!
Despite the error saying an error has occurred..I have something which looks like a plus (+) sitting in my database area on DW, but it says there's no tables there! And in mysql there is a table!
I'm a bit bloody lost to tell you the truth. Just changing the password on mysql to get going was horrendous.
Anybody have a solution to get me going, so that my tables are sitting nicely in my dW and can be connected to my SA (Security Assist).
Ugh!

The first question: on what platform? Windows - Mac?
I only succeeded in setting up a testing server on my Mac

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 Hello to Hi) 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.

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.

Local Testing server and htdocs

So I have set up apache/php with virtual servers and I'm
using DW8.
I may have terminology errors below. Correct me where I'm
wrong please.
Example site directory C:/apache/htdocs/site.com/
The web directory is: C:/apache/htdocs/site.com/htdocs
however there are other important files hiden below this
rebroot in "site.com/application" for example
My work diretory is C:/somewhere else/site.com. While
developing, I just set the testing server as my webserver and
posted everything to preview, but know I want to include the
production server, and try to use my local testing setup correctly.
I use DW to ftp and edit the site files, including those
below the webroot, so is set my directories to allow access to
those files. My annoyance is that when I preview my site it tries
to pull up the homepage as www.site.dev/htdocs/index.php
(I use dev to distinguish the local testing server)
Can I resolve this problem, or can someone explain how to
effecttively manage your workdirectory, testingserver and
production server from one DW site? At the moment I'm using two DW
sites to manage for now.

Thank you for your answers.

First, this is very possible depending on your theme. Some of the dyanmic effects in themes use javascript files from the JQuery library as well as other javascript libraries. Because of this it may not be possible to edit all files.
How do you think I could check this is true ? I think I need all the files if I wish to edit the theme. Would copying all the remote files locally help clearing this in any way ?
SnakEyez02 wrote:
This sounds like a path issue in the code. I would check there to make sure the path is correct. Otherwise we would need to see the code.
I don't know how to check this. When inspecting the page with Live Code, I don't know which html file Dw is showing me on the left. No filename has that grey background like it's pushed... Plus, I don't understand why the path would have changed, since I didn't mess with the code (yet) ?
SnakEyez02 wrote:
I have found this to appear when you have friendly/pretty-URLs or mod-rewrite turned on. In the WordPress web admin, go to Settings->Permalinks and choose the default with the ?p=123 setting. DW is currently unable to process the rewriting of URLs and it will only recognize the un-SEO-friendly way of reading URLs.
Ok now I don't understand. When I go to http://localhost/mysite/wp-admin, it shows me the WP logo,
No Upgrade Required
Your WordPress database is already up-to-date!
And a big "continue" button, all of which on the original site (the url is http://www.mysite.com/wp-admin/upgrade.php?_wp_http_referer=%2Fwp-admin%2F). Pressing the button gets me to http://www.mysite.com/.
Is that because I imported the database from the live site ? I don't know what I did to get that, I used to get to the local WP installation. Could that be a bad database setup ?
Any idea ?
Again, thank you a lot for helping me out here !

Cannot and have never been able to connect to a testing server

Hello
I am using Dreamweaver and am trying to set up a testing site using IIS. I can’t get it set up. It says I don’t have administrative privileges. I am the administrator. This is a home computer and I am the only user of the computer. I am just a novice.
I posted my problem in an Adobe forum. I was told to enter a command in the administrator command because I am not an administrator (this made me scratch my head???). The following is what I was told to enter:
icacls %systemdrive%\inetpub /grant %userdomain%\%username%:(OI)(CI)(F) /grant %userdomain%\%username%:F
it does not work and says there is no command for” icasis” I am not sure what I need to enter, however. For system drive I put “C”. For user name I put the name of my computer. For user name I put my user name.
This is what I ended up with and this is what I put in the administrators command prompt:
icacls %C%\inetpub /grant %Joe-II%\%jtb%:(OI)(CI)(F) /grant %Joe-II%\%jtb%:F
I am sure this is wrong.
In addition, in properties of inetpub wwwroot it says I have read and write for both administrator and iis_iusrs privilages (I set it up following a DW tutorial).
So why can’t I set up testing server on iis? This problem has gone on for years. I have newer versions of Adobe and operating systems and I have never been able to set up a testing server. By the way, this is windows 8 professional.
Any help would be much appreciated. I would even pay someone to solve my problem but don’t know where I would go to do this.

<< Response was:
Hello,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues.
From the information you have provided, it would appear that your issue is based somewhere in the user account permissions configuration on your PC.
I recommend taking the following steps to ensure your user account has administrative permissions:
Open your "Start" menu and right click on "Computer" (or "My Computer" depending on your version of Windows).
Select "Manage".
In the new window titled "Computer Management", select "Local Users and Groups" under "System Tools".
Select the folder labeled "Users" and find your user account in the right panel.
Right click on your user name and select "properties".
Select the "Member of" tab and verify that you see "Administrators."
If not, you can select "Add" and then type "Administrators" in the field labeled "Enter the object names to select".

Perhaps one of the hits returned on a google search "setting up iis server" will help: https://www.google.com/search?q=setting+up+iis+server&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozil la:en-US:official&client=firefox-a.
I sympathize, as I had a lot of trouble trying to set up a localhost server on a Win8 computer. Experienced many false starts. Finally got it working to the extent I could actually work on a WP site locally, but the set up is still weird in that when I uploaded all the new files to make them live, nothing updated. Ended up making all the changes again to the live site.

Help with Test Server & Binding Recordset ASP-SQL

Using CS 3.3/DW. Behavior is the same on two different
machines. One is Vista Home Premium SP1 IIS 7 with 6 compatability,
other is XP SP 3 IIS 5.1, both have IE 7 and full SQL 2005 with
SP's.
Haven't gotten very far away from static page yet, because I
can't test. Have scoured forums and even talked to Adobe who
recreated the problem then told me that they hadn't done sufficient
testing to SQL 2005 prior to release, were supposed to call me
back, did once, supposed to call back again and haven't (3 days).
So I'm turning to the community for help, please.
Set up test server in folder 'TServer' under
C:\inetpub\wwwroot. Built a 'Hello World' ASP/VB Script page with
no data attached, tests fine, puts in the appropriate folder and
says "Hello World" in browser like a good little box should! Have
built many DSN's, they tested during the building fine, I've tried
various versions of ODBC and OLE DB, including but not limited to
Native SQL Client, which is my preference and have been quite
successful setting up the DSN's...they add to the ASP page/Site
(it's greyed out unless you have an open ASP page) fine. Test at
that point works fine. As soon as I bind a Recordset (whether I
have dropped data on the page or not...same 'Hello World' page with
Recordset info near the top of the code) and test, I error out.
Any thoughts? I'm sure you'll need more info...I've tried to
put as much as I can for starters. Thanks in advance.
Peter

When you say that you error out, what error are you getting?

all 3 instances reside on single server we use netapp snapshot backup what it will do is it will take all db's snapshot in same time (hotbackup).The snapshots are NOT instantaneous!
If they were actually frozen in time, the DB would be consistent & open.
The snapshot must be handled as any other online (hot) backup.
ALTER SYSTEM SWITCH LOGFILE;
alter database begin backup
-- take hot backup
alter database end backup
ALTER SYSTEM SWITCH LOGFILE;
Restore backed up files, then apply all redos inclusive to steps above

Remote and testing server set up

I want to upload to the server some php pages containing a registration form, log in, and membership directory. I am able to get everything working ON MY COMPUTER (not shouting - just for emphasis) using wamp server. I am completely confused about how to get it on the server. I have tried creating a test database at the server but I am confused about how to connect. Do I need to set up both a remote and a testing server in the site setup on DW (CS5.5)? I think the problem is with the database setup form, that is, databases - + - mySLQ connection. What do I put in the form fields?
So far, I have tried, among other things,
Connection name: myusername_testform
mySLQ connection: localhost
Username: the one I set up at the server
Password: the one I set up at the server
Database: myusername_testform
and I get the following error message when I test it:
HTTP error code file not found etc.
possible reasons:
1. There is no testing server running on the server machine.
2. The testing server specified to this site does not map to the the http://ftp.mysite.com/_mmserverscripts/MMHTTPDB.php URL. Verify that the URL prefix maps to the root of the site.
I have contacted the server and have tried to understand their answers but have had no success in getting this done.
Any help would be much appreciated. I am really new to php and forms and databases, so please keep it as simple as possible. Thanks

Thanks very much for responding. Sorry - I'm not quite sure what you mean. I initially did all the set up steps (set up local server, create database in wamp phpMyAdmin, create a members directory, create a registration page, create a log in form) and I got all of that to work on my computer. Now I want to upload the forms and database to the server. Rather than use the database that I had originally set up on my computer, I set up a new test one with with one table and only a few categories using the phpMyAdmin on the control panel for the site. Where is that database? Is it at the server? What I'm confused about is this: How do I connect to the database at the server? Do I need to set up the site the same way as I did when it was only on my computer, i.e., set up a remote server AND a testing server? Or do I just need to set up the remote server? In either case, how do I add the database to the site using mySQL connection? I think the problem is with what I type into the form field "my SQL connection" but I really don't know. I'm so confused lol

How do I set up a local testing server?

Hey again everyone. I am trying to figure out how to set up a local testing server. I've read a couple different tutorials online and i still can't figure it out. I added a new server, named it test server, I'm connecting using local/network, my server folder is C:\Users\Jake\Website\testfolder, and my web URL is http://localhost/. My server model is PHP/MySQL.
My site's root folder is C:\Users\Jake\Website\. I have also downloaded XXAMP. It downloaded and that was it though, I'm not sure if I need to apply it somehow to Dreamweaver. When I try to preview my pages I get a message that asks me if I want to update copy on testing server. If I choose yes, another message comes up and asks me if I want to put dependent files. Whether I choose yes or no it just says IE cannot display the web page.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Site Name: PHP Test Site
Local Site Folder: C:\xampp\htdocs\php_test\
Server Name: Local Testing
Connect Using: Local/Network
Server Folder: C:\xampp\htdocs\php_test
Default Images Folder: C:\xampp\htdocs\php_test\Images\
Web URL: http://localhost/php_test/Server Model: PHP MySQL
Is that everything you need to know? Note that I do not have a remote testing site set up yet.
