Database Connection - Wamp Server

[yydelilah]

Hi - just wondered if anyone can help.
I have Dreamweaver MX (6.1) and Wamp Server (V2) installed on my PC ( Apache 2.2.6, PHP 5.2.5, mySQL 5.0.45).
For some reason I can't get a database connection to work between Dreamweaver and the database I have created on the local server. The server works fine with apps outside of dreamweaver so I'm pretty confident about the server setup. I thinks the problem lies with DW!
Has anyone managed to get this working? If so, what the hell am I doing wrong?
thanks

What do you see when you browse to http://localhost?

How are you interacting with the local database? Are you using the MySQL
client?

Hi - the website application I'm trying to get working is the DW tutorial and it's only half finished and doesn't have a "index.php" file. It's in the http://localhost/tutorial folder and just comes up with an "Index of /tutorial" showing a list of files/folders.
Yep - when I defined the (local) test server for the site I chose Server Model: PHP mySQL; Access : local network;
Testing Server Folder: C:\Program Files\wamp\www\Tutorial\; URL Prefix: http://localhost/tutorial/

Oh! I forgot - when I try and define a DB connection in Dreamweaver, I get an DW error message back saying "an undefined error has occurred" - really helpful!
There is a file in the local site "Connections" folder called "connGlobal.php" that seems to have all the right parameters defined, and there is a folder in the Wamp server root directory ("C:\Program Files\wamp\www\Tutorial") called "mmServerScripts" which has 2 PHP files called (mysql & MMHTTPDB).

Hi yydelilah:
If you are working on Windows:
Can you check that you haven't either IE or Outlook Express set to work in
offline mode?

I've finally fixed the problem. It looks like my version of DW MX (6.1) is NOT compatible with the latest versions of APACHE/PHP releases. Installed V4 PHP and V2.0 of Apache and now works OK. I think the problem is linked to a lot of deprecated PHP code in V5.0
