Hello,

I need some help setting up Dreamweaver CS5 to work with my blog (it runs on wordpress).

I am getting this errror message:

"Dynamically-related files could not be resolved because the site definition is not correct for this server."

What settings do I need to change to manage my blog from withing Dr CS5?

I will appreciate any help.

As Promised a Youtube Tutorial Hopefully I explain everything well and not too quick I am assuming you know creating sites well I don't go I'm selected the root folder kind of thing but then again I want all to benefit so it is slow and like a 6 min video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxxy3NsDspo

Thanks for the video!

Still doesn't work for an existing Wordpress site though (you're setting up a new one, which seems to work fine..*grumble;) *)

I re-opened it today didn't create a new site it works fine just checking do you have your MAMP or WAMP or LAMP or XAMPP or whatever you use open when you do this?

I'm assuming there were beta testors for each of the supported CMS's. In other words, I'm assuming the support for these CMS's is a real, tested feature and not just a bunch of sales bullet items. Could someone please just post an example of a working server setup? I don't need (nor want!) a 7 page tutorial. Just an example of how to correctly setup the sever settings for a typical Drupal install. Wasn't there an example provided for testers?

I'm having the same problem trying to get a Drupal site installed. I'm using Drupal's multisite capability and i'm using Virtual hosts.

Here is my example site structure:

My local folder and the testing server are the same.

local: /Users/name/Sites/sites/local.example.com

url: http://local.example.com

My remote setup is as follows:

Server folder: /var/www/sites/site.example.com

url: http://site.example.com

I've tried accessing the remote server as SFTP and Local/Network and still get the error.

I've tried setting the server folder as /var/www/drupal with no success (drupal multisites point to the same folder and drupal does the negotiation to the correct folder based on the url).

Has anyone created a whitepaper on the setup process for each of the CMS's this is supposed to work on? I've seen the Lynda.com videos a few times and even those don't show the site setup process. They just show a site that has already been setup that magically works.

Amen, if someone can make a video going through this it would help a lot.

I really don't think that it's an issue of setting things up right - I think it's just a bug that Adobe needs to fix. I actually was able to get the discovery working successfully on a couple of sites, but not consistently. I would literally copy the exact specs from a site where discovery was working, and then change only the necessary fields and it would fail. Considering that this is one of the major new features in DW CS5, you'd think they would have beta-tested this better. Or maybe Steve Jobs is right about the quality of their products...

I've already uninstalled my trial of CS5 until Adobe gets their act together.

Testing out the new Dreamweaver CS5 as well and seeing this issue. I was able to get the page to render when I loaded a server on my local machine, but I cannot get this error message to go away no matter which server I am pointed at. This is on Mac OS X 01.6.3. Latest testing is using MAMP 1.9 with Joomla 1.5.17 site.

You need to set up a testing server. Instructions for CS5 are here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/setup_php.html.

Hi David,

Thank you for your help. I looked into your article from the link you provided.

However this describes how to use a testing server on a local machine.Can I use the live server to work online instead of installing XAMP on my machine?

I haven't tested it on a remote server, because it's generally not recommended. However, you can set up the Testing Server definition the same way using FTP. Set the Root directory to your FTP root folder, and Web URL to the URL you would use to access the site.

You can also just paste the URL of the remote site into the Address field of the Browser Navigation Bar in Live View. As I understand it, you can download the files for editing as long as you have set up the FTP details in the Site Setup dialog box. After editing them locally, you upload them again.

I'm having the same issue - even on pages without any php code. And on sites where the discovery actually works (still can't figure out what makes it work on the one site that it is working), it makes weird files that don't even exist. For example with a simple include like:

<?php include('C:\wamp\www\soundrezn\assets\media\test.php') ?>.

on a page named "about.php"

it includes the file successfully, but then also adds a file 'about-n1m5d1qljl.php'

I'm running Windows 7 64 bit.

It sounds as though it's including a temporary file. Without knowing more about your setup, it's impossible to judge.

By the way, this thread should be in the Dreamweaver Application Development forum, so I'm moving it there.

David,

My setup is Windows 7 64 bit with Wamp 2.0. I also have multiple Virtual Hosts setup. Each site has a virtual host associated with it so that, for example, a file in my Sound Rezn site which is located at C:\wamp\www\soundrezn opens in the browser at http://soundrezn.localhost/local/mockups/home.php

The example from my previous post is from the one site where site discovery doesn't completely fail. All the other sites I have setup result in the 'Dynamically-related files could not be resolved'' error even though I've inputted the settings in the same way as with the site that works. I'll have to duplicate the semi-working site and start making changes one-by-one to see where the issue is.
