Question
MySQL databases and dreamweaver
Please, somebody help me!!
I am on a Mac. I have my site up but can't use it because of the database issues I am having.
1. I don't write code - hence my purchase of Dreamweaver
2. My host will not allow me to connect to MySQL (server-side) and suggested I try an SSH. I got Navicat.
It seems I need to connect to the database through Dreamweaver in order to create my PHP pages. I don't know how to do it or if it is possible using an SSH (Navicat)
Also I don't understand the whole "test server" thing. It was suggested I connect my Mac to a Windows machine to create a testing server. Is this really necessary? I have an external hard drive with tons of space. Can I use that? Are there any other options? I don't know a single Mac user who has a spare windows machine lying around.
My site is ready to go but useless unless I can this database-access problem solved. I need to create PHP pages but cannot do it without some sort of access to my database.
Please HELP!!!
