Please help setting up Mysql ASP connection on a Mac DW8

Report · May 11, 2007

Dear All

I have posted previously but I still have not solved this problem, and really need anybody with a mac DW setup to give some advice. I have spoken to Adobe and trawled the net looking for a solution to getting ASP and DW working on a mac. I know I need a windows machine and a local network which I have. I have a real issue making a database connection from within dreamweaver.

Please help anybody with experience.

Many thanks in advance
Graham

I don't know how you can define the MySQL database connection string in DW,
because I only use DW for layout purposes (HTML + CSS). But I have an
ASP/VBscript site running against a MySQL database, and it successfully uses
the following connection string:

"DRIVER={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver};SERVER=" & myDBhost & ";DATABASE=" &
myDBname & ";USER=" & myDBuserid & ";PASSWORD=" & myDBpassword &
";OPTION=3;"

Hope this helps.

Regards, Marja
