trying to connect DWMX to mysql db

[dannau]

Hello to all,

 

I'm desperately trying to setup a remote link between DMMX and my mysql database.

 

I "think" I've setup everything well but I keep getting a "404 missing file" message with two reasons: "1- no testing server running on server machine and 2- the testing server specified for this site does not map to the http://xxx.com/_mmserverScripts/MMHTTPDB.php URL. Verify that the URL Prefix maps to the root of the site."

 

I've tried to replace the ftp URL with the IP,... nothing, I keep getting this same message.

 

I'm not a beginner with DWMX but I am with DWMX with Mysql so I am a little lost here.

 

By the way, I can connect to my all my db with navicat perfectly (DWMX works on OS X and my external server is on Unix)

 

Please help.

Hi to all,

 

I just realized that in my previous message by replacing the name of my website by XXX it became a link to a porn website. Sorry for that. I tried to find a way to edit my message but couldn't find it.

 

If the moderator could do it I would appreciate.

 

SORRY AND GREETINGS,

 

MARK

I have been struggling with this exact same problem for weeks now!  I even switched web hosts from GoDaddy to WebHost Freaks hoping this would solve the problem.  I think it has something to do with the fact that when Dreamweaver creates a connection (from PHP to mySQL- both running on the web hosting server) it creates a special folder (_mmServerScripts) with special code (MMHTTPDB.php)  to process the connection and puts it on your server.  I have read in other forums that this is messy and unnecessary junk script- that it should be hand coded.  However, I'm not sure how to do that... anyway, I can't get past this problem.  I thought maybe it was how I was assigning the testing server root folders or remote root folders.  The error code says that the testing URL doesn't point to this special Dreamweaver folder (_mmServerScripts).  I'm stumped and appreciate any help!!
