Question

CS4 can't connect to any MySQL databases

The MySQL connections stopped working recently from Dreamweaver CS4, even though they still work for the assocated PHP pages when accessed from a web browser. I get this message: "Dreamweaver could not securely connect to your server. It's possible that your SSL certificates are not installed correctly." I should mention that I'm working from a new machine with a fresh installation of CS4, importing the sites from my old machine.

Hi

"Dreamweaver could not securely connect to your server. It's possible that your SSL certificates are not installed correctly."

Check if your pages require ssl, if so you will need to install a 'new' ssl certificate on the new machines local testing server, (for testing locally, a self signed will suffice).

I'm using the remote server as the testing server. Do you know if Dreamweaver uses the same protocol for connecting to the Web as Internet Explorer? On this computer, IE has problems connecting to some secure sites, but only when I'm directly connected to the company network. If I'm working at a remote location, IE has no such problems.

Hi

Are you getting the connections folder showing in the databases panel, and is the connection string file opening?

Yes, I can see the list of Connections, and when I open one I get the MySQL Connection window with the connection name, server name and so forth. The error message comes up when I click Test in the window. And if I try to create a page that inserts data or fetches it, Dreamweaver cannot find any of the tables in any of the databases.
