Setting up a test server for PHP using WAMP

Hello

I was wondering if someone could help understand me how to connect dreamweaver to WAMP Server. According to this article:-http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/10.0_Using/WSc78c5058ca073340dcda9110b1f693f21-79e 0a.html and the video attached to it, my Web site should be saved in a folder in the XAMPP htdocs. I would rather not switch to XAMPP, as I've tried it before, he gave my system problems, so I found the htdocs folder in my WAMP Server files and saved my site in there, and I followed the procedure described in the video that explains how to connect dreamweaver to the server, but when I go to test my files , I just receive a 404 error code saying could not connect to http://localhost/(site_name)/index.php/.) Basically, I'm quite confused and have desperately need help to put this in place I need that she is running for a project of A-Level, as I do. Any help that anyone can provide is greatly appreciated. Thank you

Hello

The fact that you get the 404 message says that the server is running properly.

You have configured your site definition in dreamweaver?

  • Test server for PHP

    Hello.

    I use MAMP and have successfully Setup a test server.

    When I make changes to a PHP file I am working in code view and press the Live View button to see the changes, I am presented with a dialog asking me to save the file.

    This can sometimes annoying me if I constantly small changes and they need to see the result. I was wondering if there is an option somewhere to remove the dialog box

    Thank you.

    Only way to turn off that would be to use temporary files.  Dreamweaver-->--> Preview in browser preferences--> box to preview using temporary files.  That should force DW to write to temporary files when previewing of pages.

  • Setting up a test server

    Hi - I'm going to set up a test server for the first time in cc DW.

    First, I installed MAMP (I'm on a mac) - I tested the servers and they work. I chose the default ports 80/3306. I pointed my browser to localhost and it says it works.

    Then, I spent in DW and defined the site - everything seems fine. In the "files" window, I can see the local section of the files on the right and on the test server on the left (the records are in red - is it good?). My problem comes when you try to view the live files. I get the following error message

    Not found

    The requested URL /ticDevNew/index.php was not found on this server.

    Apache/2.2.22 (Unix) DAV/2 Server at localhost Port 80


    I have placed the files here on my mac:


    /Users/martinrtroberts/localhost/ticDevNew

    Here are the settings of the server in DW

    FOLDER on the SERVER: / Users/martinrtroberts/localhost/ticDevNew

    WEB URL http://localhost/ticDevNew/

    My hunch is that I have one of these incorrect paths (despite the fact the DW appears to able to see!)

    Any ideas?

  • Setting up a test server. Getting the error "Could not connect to MySQL". Help!

    First of all, I am a rookie at this, so please excuse me for leaving out some details.  In any case, I followed David Powers "establishing an environment of PHP for Dreamweaver development" set up my test server.  I tested the timetest.php file and everything works great.  I saved my website in its entirety and extracted its contents in my folder xampp/htdocs/php_test/CIM.  'CIM' is a file that I created to hold the content of my entire site.  I get an error message when I try to access my index.php file.  When I click on 'Live View', I get 'database error: unable to connect to the database: could not connect to MySQL'.»»  My index., is a php file in xampp/htdocs/php_test/CIM/public_html/store.  I too, started with Apache and MySql running XAMPP.  What I am doing wrong?

    If your timetest.php is like this:

    This page was created at on the computer running PHP.

    So which proves that you have PHP work.  I want to talk in DW when you try to establish a database connection.  Based on your error page there is no connection to the database.  The screen I'm talking about is:

    What information do I need to set up a test server

    After you have installed a local test server, go to the Site > manage sites & set your server to test local, as shown below.  In this example, I use WAMP server and my local site folder resides in the wamp\www folder.  On XAMPP or MAMP, the site folder is htdocs.

  • Test server tries to use the old IDs after reboot etc.

    I have just formatted my drive and installed fresh xampp, pulled my web files on the net and got the testing running server.  I can access the pages that use my vidiscript DB, but for some reason when I try to access pages that use the same PB it gives me an error of:

    Access denied for user 'deafboyz_admin'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

    deafboyz_admin is the OLD username for DB, that my remote DB uses, which is painfully different than the testing server.  I updated the DB file and saved and made sure it's correct on the test server.  Restart xampp and even my computer, deleted history of cookies etc and still get this same error.  It makes me crazy b/c my main homepage must use the db file for data and it works perfectly, but video pages it attempts to use the old credentials, which are not loaded in my test server.

    as a solution, I even added the user deafboyz_admin in the db and gave full privileges, reboot, etc and still no luck.

    all my passwords are loaded into the local Database as they are in the file db.  restarted the computer and clear the history, what else could be possibly originally xampp try using the old db details?

    Thank you for your understanding!

    There is always something that connects your video to a file that is trying to connect to the DB by using the credentials of the old. You can share your PHP code with us login script? Also, check that the connection on the video page setting is correctly set in the correct file that contains the new credentials.

  • Test server for Site Dynamics w/Leopard

    I'm trying to set up a PHP / site Spry using a Mac running OS X Leopard operating system. I'm using a PHP book that is very useful, but it has been written using Tiger and Leopard eliminated the Netinfo Manager. I had to change many 'hidden files' and use the Terminal & BBEdit to edit files and create any virtualhosts.

    I have the latest version of PHP installed (10.5 x has integrated Apache, but it needs to be changed). I am in communication with my ISP, but I can't get past the error messages (I had to modify "php.ini" to report all errors) telling me that my definition of site for the local test server is incorrectly set up. I tried to use the root of the server computer, the folder from the site in the folder of the user and virtual hosting.

    I am told that two files in my folder of the virtual server, which resides in my folder user with the extension ".php" are not executed by the testing server OR this folder is not mapped with the URL on the testing server. He asks me to verify that the URL prefix corresponds to the root of my site.

    That's what he said when I use virtualhost; I get a similar message when I use the other two test local server configuration mentioned above. I followed the instructions in the book with a lot of attention, and I'm afraid that I made a mistake in some of the editing I've done for hidden files.

    Does anyone know do this with a Mac running the latest version of Leopard?

    Configuration of local test for Leopard servers is something that a lot of people talk on the web. I have read of many methods of creating and deleting accounts and virtual hosts. Perhaps my problem is that I tried the advice of many people who have experienced this problem with how Apple withdrew the Netinfo Manager when leopard is released. The need to modify the httpd.conf file is in most of these suugestions.

    The thing that scares me is, is that I was told to type http://localhost/ and see if he showed me a screen showing that the Apache web server is running. This works.

    I was advised to do the following:
    Create a page called test.php, and type the following code:
    <? PHP phpinfo();? > save to HD:Library:WebServer:Documents Macintosh.
    Load the following URL in your browser: http://localhost/test.php
    If you see PHP configuration screen, you are operational! Well, I get a message to report
    Safari can't open the page "" http://localhost/test.php " because it does not connect to the server 'localhost'."

    I'm stuck. What should I do? Check the various changes I made? I'm looking for help to set up the local test server. Perhaps the book I use (which was written for Tiger) does not go in what is what seems to indicate I have implemented in the Site definition. Or I messed up an important file. I'm new to the terminal and BBEdits to these Linux files using my computer.

    I remember one of them/private/etc/hosts said, "Do not change this entry."

    Told me to create a host and copy the existing settings of the local host (127.0.0.1)

    But it helps when they show examples. As you can see I am confused.

    The book is outstanding - it is written by David Powers. The only confusion is this leopard / test server problem.

    Help!

    I use 10.5.2 and the latest version of PHP / Apache and Dreamweaver CS3.

    The space in the name of the folder of two words was not only a problem; the fact that I do not name the folder 'egdwcs3' the biggest problem. As soon as I renamed the folder 'egdwcs3' it became a match for what I had called in the file/private/etc/hosts as localhost (127.0.0.1 egdwcs3).

    When you told me told to rename the egdwcs3 folder I have (at the beginning) renamed Essential_Guide and, of course, always gave me error messages. Then it struck me that I did follow your advice 'to a T!

    I wasn't getting what has been defined as the host should be identical to the name of the folder in the root of the server. Somewhere along the line, I saved a file in this folder wrongly named "egdwcs3.php" and I was looking at the files in Chapter 4 of the examples for the book uploaded folder files and I noticed there was no classified named 'egdwcs3.php' - one mentioned "datetest.php" that was when I had my Epiphany!

    Now when I look at the file datetest.php with the button data direct I see today!

    Consider this "Case_Closed.php!" and thank you, David!

    Once again - great book!

  • Setting up a test server with WAMP

    Hi, I did not any development within months, but I'm getting back into it. I used to have my server set up correctly test, but now when I try, there is something wrong. I set my site to the C:\wamp\wwwroot\ and also set it as my test server, but I just get an error Manager. How can I solve this problem?

    Hello

    Other programs will depend on the program, but is always a good recommendation anyway.

    My only suggestion is to ensure the wamp and xamp are completely uninstalled and that you are not running IIS. Disable windows 'user account control', restart your computer, and then install xamp.

  • I looked through the video tutorials for CS6 and can't find any help for PHP using SQL.

    Where is a good place I can go to learn more about the use of different languages as html and dreamweaver.  Is there a service that adobe offers that I could buy that would take me from recruit all the way to professional with a good structure, easy to use, such as adobe tv but more advanced and deeper?  I am building a Web site with a log in page and check.  I have the HTML part down pretty well, but need help to write php scripts and the use of SQL for storing user information

    I moved this to the main Dreamweaver support forum.

    In response to your question, you should be aware that PHP in CS6 Dreamweaver server behaviors use original MySQL functions that are should be removed from a future release of PHP. Server behaviors have been deleted from the CC of Dreamweaver. If you plan to create a website using PHP and MySQL, do not rely on Dreamweaver server behaviors. You must instead use MySQLi (improved MySQL) or PDO (PHP Data Objects) .

    If you are looking for video tutorials, you might be interested in the class I created for lynda.com. As a beginner, a good starting point would be Introducing PHP or PHP for Web designers (there are several videos of the sample that you can watch for free on my site). Both courses have been recorded on Dreamweaver (PHP for Dreamweaver CS6 Web designers), presenting the PHP on Dreamweaver CS5.5. PHP for Web designers shows how to connect to MySQL with MySQLi. You need a subscription to lynda.com to watch full courses, but you can get a free seven day trial by following the links on my site.

    If you don't want to commit to a subscription service, I also wrote a book called PHP Solutions, which covers MySQLi and PDO in depth. It also shows how to build a login system. At the moment, the second edition is available, but a third revised edition is due to the on sale in December.

    There are also a lot of free resources on the web you can find. The important thing to beware of is that a lot of old documents is based on the original functions of MySQL. Regardless of the resource you use, make sure it shows how to use MySQLi or PDO.

  • How to set up and test the Profibus network, using the number of piece OR interface master/slave 780161-01

    I bought this card of NEITHER. I've been in contact with Comsoft which apparently is the developer of this Council. I used the Configurator II to try to build the network. The GSD file for my slave is entered. I can also see the GSD file for the master. There seems to be no obvious way to test the bus of the configuration tool. I tried the Express VI provided by Comsoft. Nothing happens. I have a purchased with endings installed profibus cable. I know that the works of cable as a another division has an another Profibus master that works with this cable how to configure correctly for you? How to test?

    Thank you

    Rick

    The problem has been resolved. In the configuration tool, after the slave device is connected to the network, all of the attributes listed under it must also be dragged over and placed in the list that appears. Never seen this step in the documentation. Once this has been done the configuration tool could initialize and find the slave.

  • How can I set a default save file for scans using the Solution Center?

    Using Windows 7-64 bit.   All-in-one printer HP Photosmart C-309 Premuim has.

    Due to a crash of Windows, I had to install a new drive and reload Windows. I also rebooted other software like the HP Solution Center & drivers. My problem is that I can't find how to set a default folder for my scans.  This is NOT mentioned in the user manual, but it has been initially implemented by the HP Technical Support when the printer was new.  Can anyone relate how to set the default folders for my scans?

    Thank you.

    When you go to the analysis, there should be a window that appears to select the format and the DPI of the analysis. There is also an option for the options of '/CSA/ '. Here you can change the default location to save on selecting another file of having sent them to analysis.

    I would like to know if this information helps, and have a great day!

    I have not use ASP or ASP.NET for many years, so I'm not sure it is always up to date. However, to answer your question on IIS, you certainly need to install it. You will also need the .NET framework for ASP.NET pages.
