I am working with PHP documents but both Live View and Design View are grey and unavailable with PHP documants open. I am using MAMP and have set up local info and testing server in the site set up dialog several times myself and with the help of some web search with no difference. Any thoughts on what may be some things to check would be greatly appreciated.

Correct answer David_Powers

yes the ports are changed to 80 and 3306. if i do a preview in browser it comes up fine, just can't get the design and live view buttins working.


Have you changed your preferences to open PHP pages in Code view?

In the File Types/Editors category of Preferences, if you add .php to the list of file name extensions in "Open in code view", it disables Design view and Live View for that type of file.

Check that you have your site definition set up correctly. See http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/setting_up_php_05.html.

yes that is actually one of the resources that i had foundand had gone through, a couple of times. it seems pretty basic, could there be some sort of setting elsewhere that may be affecting it?

Is Apache running? Did you change the ports in MAMP to use the Apache and MySQL defaults? http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/setting_up_php_03.html#test_mamp.
