MySQL "An unidentified error has occurred"

[Neatgadgets]

I have just purchased Dreamweaver within the bundle of Master Collection CS5.5 Educational.

I have been using Dreamweaver since UltraDev days. However I have come up against this problem after installing Dreamweaver and trying to connect.

"An unidentified error has occurred"

I have used a few programs to identify what messages are being sent out and it appears that nothing is actually being sent from Dreamweaver.

I setup the site fine, so I can transfer files back and forth to the web server. The database is on a different server, and I can use MySQL Query to connect to the database from the same PC.

I can't seem to find what the issue is. I tried multiple mysql databases on different servers and the same issue. It seems Dreamweaver is not doing anything when I hit Test.

Any ideas?

Well, I may be a little late on this answer... but maybe it will help. After a few hours of messing with this; I FINALLY figured it out.

First of all, you have to have your site settings as such:

Step One

Remote Server Settings

Server Name: *Insert Name

Connect using: FTP

FTP Address: yourdomain.com

Username: yourusername

Password: yourpassword

Root:

Web URL: http://yourdomain.com

Step Two

Testing Server Settings

Server Name: *Insert Name

Connect using: FTP

FTP Address: yourdomain.com

Username: yourusername

Password: yourpassword

Root:

Web URL: http://yourdomain.com

Click on the Advanced tab

Testing server

Server Model: PHP MySQL

Step Three (this is the tricky part, lol)

Click on file, then click New.

Create a NEW, I repeat... NEW PHP page.

Let it sit.

Step Four

Now enter your remote SQL settings.

Not sure why... but this worked for me after HOURS of:
