Server Behaviors option is disabled

Report · Oct 17, 2006

In Dreamweaver MX 2004, I created (via Site Manager) a site using "None" as the server technology with FTP as the connection. During setup, I have no problems testing the connections for the remote server. I have also had no problems FTPing the files to my remote site via Site Manger.

Here's the problem: When I am in the process of creating a new PHP or HTML file (without saving), checkmarks are next to steps 1-3 for using dynamic data in the Server Behaviors panel--with the (+) button enabled...so far, so good. However, once I save the file--making sure it is saved in the local root folder for that site--the (+) button becomes disabled and the checkmarks disappear. I'm not doing anything fancy...just a form with a File field and a Submit button.

Am I doing something fundamentally wrong? I appreciate any insight on this!

Yes. You must select a Server Model for the site to use any server
behaviors. Dreamweaver supports ASP, ASP.NET, ColdFusion, JSP, and PHP.
Without a server model, it has no way of knowing which type of server
behavior to use.
