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

In your case I am not certain where the following folder would be created by dreamweaver, the folder name is _mmServerScripts and contains 2 files - 'MMHTTPDB.php' and 'mysql.php'. It is an hidden folder but both the files are required by dreamweaver for it to connect to the database.

Check your 'old' machine for the files in the 'testing server' as defined in the site definition and/or look on your remote server, although I would not think it would be on the remote server due to the security implications.

I checked those two files and they are fine. I retested the MySQL connections using an outside Web connection and they test fine, and I"m also able to get to secure websites in IE using this connection. It's only when I use the network's proxy connection that both of these fail.
