i dont know. i would contact macromedia techsupport. or else go out and get that book i recommended.

you can get rid of it after it installs. i believe you can install it along side iis as well. i have done that with previous versions of iis. all it does is install an apache service. if you dont want it to run or even exist as far as windows is concerned then go into the services manager and set it to manual. then it will never run unless you specifically start it.

do a search for foxserv. it is a free download install program that will install everything you need. first uninstall everything. then install foxserv. when you install everything separately you have to a lot of tweaking. so get foxserv and install to the default locations. restart - then test each one. mysql needs a admin account so you must read the mysql docs if that still doesn\'t work. my control center from mysql.com (i think). when installing mysql it will ask for a name and password. write that down. you will use that when hooking up through dmx. test dmx with that username and password and the test database. use any name for your connection. about foxserv - these aren\'t the absolute newest versions but so what. i spent 5 days- i\'m not kidding - trying to get this installed reading online manual after manual. read the mysql manual. there is a crappy one out there and there is a good one. if you find two the good one is easy to read. it helps you quickstart and get a move on. the best option after you install everything is to get the book dreamweaver mx php web development by glasshaus ltd. it will guide you step by step through everything and has been a tremendous resource for both install and dmx. later and good luck (praying is better than luck though) judah

the problem was erradicated when i reinstalled apache, mysql, php 4ish using foxserv to do it. foxserv installes them all at once. i know now it wasnt dmx because as soon as it was installed (and tweaked a bit) it worked and connected. to answer your question it doesnt matter if there are tables or not (well yes i suppose) but the default mysql install comes with test and mysql databases. i was connected to test. thanks j[/i]

i dont know if this is mysql or dreamweaver but i get an error everytime i try to connect to mysql. the error is vague, \"an unidentifed error has occured\". i found a tech note on mm site and followed it multiple times but it has not fixed the problem. i am running apache 2.0.47 PHP 5 Beta 1 MySQL 4.1 on the same machine as i\'m using dreamweaver i enter connection name: mb mysql server: localhost username: root password: database: i hit select to select the database and that is when i get the error.
