_mmServerScripts folder are for server model PHP-MySQL

Report · Nov 14, 2008

NOT TRUE!!! The pages are php the database is php 5.0/mysql.

I am about to kill myself. I have created 5 websites and have had no problems connecting to the database and creating recordsets. With this 6th one, if I breathe wrong, the connection or recordset disappears and I get the error: The files from the _mmServerScripts folder are for the server model PHP-MySQL. You try to connect to a database using a different server model.

The only difference is I am using a free hosting at godaddy instead of a paid hosting at godaddy.

I have followed the instructions and deleted the _mmServerScripts file, and the connection file, and went to Site-Advanced and deleted the connections many many times.

Mostly, the connection shows successful, and the recordset gives the error, or shows no tables. Sometimes, the connection is gone too. It is very precarious.

Please....someone.....tell me what is going on before I do something drastic!!!!!

No, the database can't be php 5.0/MySQL. PHP is the server-side language
used to communicate with the database. MySQL is the database.

That difference is probably crucial. The error message is created only
if a $_POST variable is not set correctly. It's quite possible that the
free hosting is using an ancient version of PHP that doesn't recognize
$_POST.

Although Dreamweaver allows you to use a remote server as the testing
server, it's not recommended practice. Also, if you use free hosting,
you get what you pay for.

Thank you for responding to my cries for help.

That's why I included that tidbit about the free hosting vs paid hosting. I had tried everything else to my knowledge (which doesn't go very far) and was hoping you techies had another answer. Sherlock Holmes said that after you have canceled everything else out, what you are left with is probably the answer.

I opened a paid hosting account, and sure enough, no problems with creating recordsets. I HAD TO TRY!

Many thanks!!
