The error is very common "Unable to Connect" I have been sorting out in my head why I should be using index.php rather than index.html. My pages are dynamic so I am using index.html. I modified my httpd.conf file because it only had index.html
<IfModule dir_module> DirectoryIndex index.php index.html <IfModule> I am on a macbookpro 10.8.3 and this Document Root is standard. Document Root Library/WebServer/Documents so my path is: Library/WebServer/Documents/dwwdSite (dwwdSite = DreamWeaverWebDevelopmentSite) I set up the server settings as shown in the .pngs. Have to attach them separately. So many people know this stuff intuitively. Sorry that I am rusty. (not a novice). Can someone spot and Explain to me Why I am getting this error. I am really stuck. When I do this from within Netbeans /localhost/phpWithAlex/index.php I get output in the browser. It is not working with Dreamweaver. Thanks.
