Hello There! Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 Hi there, didn't know wether to post this in the newbie bit or here but anyway - I'm new to dreamweaver/php/mysql and dynamic websites. I'm using Dreamweaver MX 2004, PHP version 4.3.4, MySQL version 4.0.15-standard and apache (1.3.29 (Unix)). I've struggled valiantly to create a database through my server cPanel and create a mysql connection to it from dreamweaver (called it "con1"). I've created a recordset and plopped it into my php page. Now when I use the dreamweaver live link option a load of errors come up along the lines of my testing server has disappeared in a puff of smoke or - its ignoring .php files. If I preview in browser I get this error on a separate browser page: Warning: main(Connections/con1.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/mcpalmer/public_html/dynaSite/dynaSite.php on line 1 Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'Connections/con1.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/mcpalmer/public_html/dynaSite/dynaSite.php on line 1 Now, please forgive me for my stupidity, but i don't know what the problem is. Is it my testing server? I had a lot of trouble initially with the URL prefix which is: http://www.mysite.org.uk/dynaSite/ I had to avoid using public_html bit for some reason. I couldn't get any other prefix to work but this. Is it that first line of my php script? This is: <?php require_once('Connections/con1.php'); ?> Now con1.php is sitting on my server ok but i cannot view but can edit it, which seems strange. I'm sure (hope) there is a simple solution to all this but its beyond me at the moment. Any help you can give would be much appreciated! thanks, M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richtom80 Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 Silly question, but is your site in your server root? ie. c:\program files\apache\apache group\htdocs? or just in something like C:\documents and settings\user1\my documents?

richtom80 Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 Or is it a remote server you are trying to work on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hello There! Posted February 28, 2004 Author Share Posted February 28, 2004 Its a remote server i'm working on, using the mysql and php preinstalled on the server. I haven't got php and mysql installed on my local machine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 no it is not your server it is your code In the file dynaSite.php you required a file (Connections/con1.php) on line 1, but the script cannot find the file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hello There! Posted March 6, 2004 Author Share Posted March 6, 2004 Hmmm... the file is there though but for some reason the script is not finding it. Could the include_path be wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunchboxbill Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 /home/mcpalmer/public_html/dynaSite/Connections/con1.php make sure that ur dreamweaver code has capital letters etc in the right places as ur remote server will be case sensitive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMG Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 also, your server may not recognize capital letters, or your folder was converted to all lower case upon uploading it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
