I am trying to preview my site which contains server-side code (PHP). Dreamweaver says that for dynamic sites I need to specify a server. When I try to specify my apache server, one of two scenarios arises: 1. The local server won't save, or 2. Dreamweaver asks if I want to preview using a local connection and the program crashes. Please help.

This thread has been moved to the "Developing server-side applications in Dreamweaver" forum.

Have you followed the instructions in Setting up a PHP development environment for Dreamweaver?

Where have you set up the Apache server root? It needs to be in a place where your have read and write permissions. If it's in Program Files (on Windows), Dreamweaver won't be able to read and write there.

Without more information about your setup, it's impossible to troubleshoot the problem.
