Problems with Site Definition

I'm new to dreamweaver but have worked with WAMP architecture a lot. I have a pre-packaged wamp architecture installed (WAMPServer by Romain Bourdon). I have set up a virtual host for my site and the site displays fine when php includes are used for displaying headers etc. I can't use any of the dreamweaver database functions though. When I try I get prompted to set up my testing server. I'm certain I have my paths correct -- set to the virtual host as follows (where sitename is the name of my site as defined in the host config file):
Server Model: PHP MySQL
Access: Local/Network
Testing server folder: C:\vhosts\sitename\
URL prefix: http://nxa/

Any suggestions? I'm totally stumped here -- thinking it may have something to do with how the wamp server is configured???

Is there anything in the _mmServerScripts folder that was autocreated that may give a clue as to what is going on here????

I'm really stuck here -- anyone???

Thanks for looking at this for me Dooza. However, I 'should' be fine but I am not -- I'm quite sure the paths are all correct but I still get the error. Is there any other way to troubleshoot why a site server definition is not working??? I've looked through david powers documentation and can't find anything.

You should be fine using http://sitename/ as your testing url server if
that is what is working.

yes -- php includes work fine here. Just when I try to add database functions (i.e. insert record) I get the 'set up the site testing server' prompt.

Whats the url that works at the moment? Is it http://nxa/sitename/ or
just http://nxa ?
