Site setup help...

Hi -
I am new to using CS5 and I am having a few different problems. I am not sure but I think they all stem from improper setup. I had used dreamweaver mx 2004 to set up a few sites back in 2004-5 so I am am somehwat familiar with setup, however, besides trying out CS5 on a new computer, I also now have a QNAP 459+ NAS which I am using as the remote server (as opposed to a site through go daddy or other).
I have PHP and mysql running on my NAS, and I have also installed Xampp on my computer. (first off I was not sure that I needed this because I have a server (NAS), but I decided to install so because I was pretty sure that my local machine needed apache running in order to parse php scripts before they run on the server) In XAMPP control panel, I get the following:
Where it says apache is started but up above it does not say that it is running. When I try to view PHP code in dreamweaver from the local site, it just shows the little PHP emblem and does not process the code. It does process php if I access the page from the server by typing the address in a browser. It does not process at all in dreamweaver.
I also get the following errors in dreamweaver which I am not sure but I think are related:
"dynamically-related files could not be resolved because your credentials don't allow file activity on the server"
and
"An unknown error occurredwhile discovering dynamically related files. Retry."
I am not sure if I have multiple problems or just one which is causing all these symptoms, but any advice/help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

Need Help Entering the Correct Data on Site Setup Window

[DW CS5 on a Mac OS 10.7.5]
I get an "FTP Error Message" after entering data on the Site Setup window after pressing Test.
I want to upload to my host/server's cPanel one of a number of subdirectories that I have on my root directory. My first attempt at uploading the first subdirectory failed. Can someone help me determine which of my Site Setup entries is incorrect and what the correct entry ought to be?
Perhaps I'm entering incorrect data in the "Root Directory" or Web URL" fields. My host server has given me the correct data, which I've carefully entered. Unfortunately, my testing on the Site Setup window continues to get this message: "An FTP error occurred â cannot open server folder /public_html/alaska/. Access denied. The file may not exist, or there could be a permission problem." Support staff at my host/server cannot determine why the uplaod attempts fail.
I'll appreciate your guidance. Thanks, very much.

Brett, thanks for your prompt e-reply.
Unfortunately, removing the entry from DW's Root Directory field enabled a successful test, however, it caused all uploaded files to wind up in my very large root directory. ( :-( I had to do a lot of file management and deletions to clean up the root directory.
My numerous approaches, after receiving your suggestion, appear to have found a successful workaround. Here's what worked:
-- While in cPanel's File Management window, I selected the "/public_html" folder in the left column and clicked "New Folder" from the top toolbar. Once the new subdirectory folder was created, I went directly to the DW app where I then clicked the icon (atop and to the far right of the Files panel) subtitled "Expand to show local and remote sites".
-- With DW's expanded window open, I selected the new folder name in the left half of the window. I then dragged and dropped all the files that were in the right-column's subdirectory's folder to the new folder in the left column.
-- After completing the drag and drop effort, I checked cPanel's File Management window and verified that all files went to the appropriate subdirectory folder.
-- Finally, I opened the site's pages online to see that all worked as intended.
Over all, I wish DW were more reliable, such that when testing setups for *subdirectories* that have "/public_html" in the "Root Directory" field, they will *all* test successfully.
Sadly, Adobe no longer supports CS5. ( :-(
Nevertheless, thanks for your assistance, Brett.

CS5 site setup not working

I recently installed the CS5 version of Dreamweaver. When the program starts, I click on "dreamweaver site..." and the site setup dialog box pops up. "Unnamed site 2" is high lighted in blue. The only thing I can click is the folder Icon, help, save, and cancel icons. Nothing else works. I cannot click on Advanced Settings, Servers or Version Control. Does anybody know whats going on and how to fix this?

I am also having the same problem. If I persist on clicking 'Advanced Settings' it will sometimes open but then I am unable to click on the 'Default Images folder' option and the 'Browse Folders' icon does not work. I can also not get to the other options with the mouse, such as 'Local Info', Cloaking' etc.As the previous person said, using the Tab and Cursor keys does work, but the mouse does not.It is only in Dreamweaver CS5 that I am having this problem.
I too have a new Wacom Intuos 4 Tablet, just in case that could have anything to do with it.
Running Windows 7 64bit with CS5 and all updates completed for everything including the Logitech mouse.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Spry won't let me start a new site? Help

SO I have read ever tutorial and forum with simalar problems and none of them seem to help me. I haven't worked with Dreamweaver since 2001. I am on CS5. Ever time I try to start my new site I get " WARNING: The Spryassets folder is not inside the site. Please select a valid folder in your local site root." I have watched a read all of the tutorials and none of them address this issue. I have even tried creating a Srpy assets folder within my site folder.
Also I'm on a Mac and everything seems to give instruction for PC.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

In the Site Setup for yoursite dialog box, go to Advanced Settings -> Spry and enter similar information as below in the Asset Folder

Site setup bugs

hello , into dreamweaver cs6 , on startup site setup menu dreamweaver bugs each call plz help

I have no idea what you are talking about - can you please try again. Be explicit, please.

Site setup menu corrupted

Manage Sites>Edit> Site Setup. The upper left menu Site/Services/VersionControl/Adv Settings does not respond. Thus i cannot change any settings. I can however use the lower buttons Help/Save/Cancel. I may have deleted something from the registry, trying to do a clean uninstall.

The upper left menu Site/Services/VersionControl/Adv Settings does not respond.
So, when you click on "Servers", nothing happens?
You can try DELETING the local Configuration file and restarting DW. You will find that file in a location that depends on your operating platform:
MAC --> USER : Library : Application Support : Adobe : Dreamweaver CS5.5 : en_US : Configuration
PC --> Users/<name>/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Dreamweaver CS5.5/en_US/Configuration
(Note - on PC, the AppData folder is normally hidden, so you will have to configure your options not to hide folders.)

Dreamweaver losing site setups

A couple of months ago after an update Dreamweaver lost all my site setups. I have them all backed up and saved to STE files. I now have to open Dreamweaver, no sites listed in the Site Manager, and import the site I plan to work on. The next time I open DW the site setup is gone. I haven't been able to find any information related to problem via Google or Adobe.
Help...

Before proceeding, please check out this link about the latest release of DWCC update: The 2014 release Of Dreamweaver CC Is Now Live!
Are you seeing Dreamweaver not quitting properly? The site preferences might be getting lost since DW is crashing on quit, and hence they are not getting saved.
Can you try changing any default preference settings, and quit DW to see if it gets remembered the next time you launch the product?
You can launch preferences dialog using Ctrl+U shortcut key.

Setup & Help buttons stopped working

I recently upgraded wireless network from WEP to WPA. Lost wireless connectivity to 3310 All-in-One, and now Setup & Help buttons don't work so I can't connect to new network. What happened? Is there a way to setup new network without accessing Setup menu on device?

Get the latest software for your printer from the "Support & Drivers" link at the top of this page. Run the software, making sure there is no USB cable attached. Choose "Network" or "Wireless" connection type when it asks. Plug in a USB cable (temporarily) when it asks.
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

Entering mapped drive letter in site setup

I'm having problems with library items not updating and in
reading earlier posts on the same subject someone suggested that
the problem could be resolved by mapping the shared drive to a
drive letter and putting the drive letter into the site setup. They
say that after doing that, the updates of library items will work
again.
I assume the mapped drive is put into the Remote Info/Remote
folder section of the site definition. Will this affect my
Contribute settings? And is a Recreate Site Cache recommended?

> Will this affect my Contribute settings?
is contribute used on this machine or on someone else's
machine??
And is a
> Recreate Site Cache recommended?
when you change the location of the Local Site Folder, the
site cache will
be rebuilt when you close the manage sites dialog box.

Dreamweaver CS6 Site setup and Site specific Code hints

I have just started using Dreamweaver CS6 and when I navigate to the server page in the site setup only the intro text is shown.... clicking my mouse around the window reveals the server table and buttons and I can proceed to set up a server.
I have several sites in there now but when I try to set up site specific code hints it shows and error saying that I need to add at least one site before I can continue.
Help

Easiest way to solve this is to have you post a screenshot of your site definition where you define the testing/remote server. Please be sure to blur or remove any sensitive information from your screenshot before posting (ie: username, password, etc). We will assume you are able to connect to the remote and/or testing server. If not you should talk with your host about the remote server or you would need to post more information about your testing environment.

My wifi diagnostic says I am connected, but I cannot connect to the internet (safari), iCloud Mail, or any other sites. Help?

Power cycle (turn off and on) the router. In System Preferences -> Network, under WiFi does it say Self-Assigned IP Address? Click where it says location in the network's pane of WiFi, click edit location, click the plus icon and type 'test' and press done, then press apply on the next window. Click advanced then in the preferred networks tab, make sure your wifi network is at the top of the list, if it's not then drag it to the top, on the TCP/IP tab, click renew DHCP lease, on the DNS tab, click the plus icon at the bottom left, add two new dns servers: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4, press OK, then press APPLY on the next window. restart the mac and see if it's fixed.
