Mapping to the database

[wmabear54]

Hello Everybody,

What I am doing is building a new site that will be using mysql and phpadmin to generate dynamically. I have downloaded apache, mysql and phpadmin to my local machine created a test database and table. In DWMX VER. 6 I have created an insert form to load the info into the database.
In the Mysql Connection Box- I named the connection (insertdata), Mysql server: (http://localhost/), username, password, then when I get to database I called it products hit select and it came back error 404 possible errors are: 1. testing server doesn't map to http://localhost/_mmServerScripts/MMHTTPDB.php URL. Verify that prefix maps to the root of the site or 2. There is no testing server running on the server machine.
My question i do I have to go into the Apache Server and map from that to the root of the site or is there something else that I am missing.

Thanks Mike

Any help would be appreciated just a little nudge.

I dont use dreamweaver so I can't help you there, but are you sure you have apache, PHP, and mySQL installed correctly?

If you're sure you have it installed right, then hopefully someone with more knowlege than me will find this and help you out.

If you think someting might not be installed correctly, try http://www.firepages.com.au . And get the latest version of phpdev. It installs Apache, PHP, and mySQL very easily. It is the simplist way I have found to get them running on a Windows box.

Hi Flood6

Thanks for the reply

I am in the process of double checking the install now, every thing seems to be ok but I did find one spot that said something about on the previous uninstall there may have been a problem with the overwrite. If there are otherthings that I must do to tweak the install I am looking for it now. Do I have to maybe go in and change things to work right correctly I have had a good mornings sleep now and over the weekend hopfully will come to a better understanding of the whole process.
