Question

Connecting mysql Dreamweaver CS3

I've connected a hundred times on windows servers but I just can't get
connected to a php server.

The error in Dreamweaver is the following.

The testing server specified for this site does not map to the

http://domainName.com/www/_mmServerScripts/MMHTTPDB.php URL.

Verify that the URL Prefix maps to the root of the site.


Is it a setting on the server that needs to be changed? Setting in
Dreamweaver?

I don't know why this is so difficult and I haven't even gotten to the
part of this project that worries me. :(

Thanks. That's what it was.

Go to the 'testing server' page of the site setup and see what it says
in the 'URL Prefix' box. I'm guessing it says
http://domainName.invalid/www/, when it should say
http://domainName.invalid/

BTW, please use either example.[com|net|org], or use [anything].invalid
when you post a 'fake' domain name. There's an actual (domainname
[dot] com), a reseller of domain names. By posting their domain name
in a clickable link, you've potentially increased the load on their
server without helping their business any.
