Problems with Site Definition

[Guest]

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???

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

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.

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

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???

[Guest]

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.

To be honest I was hoping David would have popped in by now to take a
look at this problem, he is very good at trouble shooting server
definitions.

It sounds like one of the paths in your site setup is wrong, it might
not be in your testing server, it could be the local info.

Can you post all the fields from your local and testing server tabs?

Sure -- here it is.

Local Info
=============
Local root folder: C:\vhosts\sitename\
Default images folder: C:\vhosts\sitename\new_site\images\
Links relative to: Document
HTTP address: http://

Testing Server
=============
Server model: PHP/MySQL
Access: Local/network
Testing server folder: C:\vhosts\sitename\
URL prefix: http://sitename/

Set the HTTP address to http://sitename/ and see if that makes any
difference.
