pinkytinky Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 im trying to add a database (with dreamweaver mx and sql and phpmyadmin) to my website and i've made it all the way to "creating a connection" in dreamweaver but it wont let me connect. it says i need to verify my url prefix, but i dont know what to put there i've tried everything. and i know the files are there. the error says i need to verify my url prefix so it maps to the root of the site. please help.

moberemk Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Aside from your password, what is your connection information? Is this a local server, or a remote one? Because if it's a remote server, then the odds are good that you cannot access it outside of that server. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkytinky Posted April 5, 2006 Author Share Posted April 5, 2006 its local, my sql server is localhost. im pretty positive everything is right but when i hit test it checks stuff and then has error 404:there is no test server on this machine or the testing server for this site does not map to the [a href=\"http://www.mysite.com/folder/file.php\" target=\"_blank\"]http://www.mysite.com/folder/file.php[/a] url. verify the url prefix maps to the root of the site. and in testing server when i hit test it says it successfully made a connection. and sometimes when i change things around it just says "an unknown error has occured" or something. and when it looks like its gonna do something, norton worm protection pops us and says its blocking an intrusion and everytime it has a different named trojan and the files it shows are from dreamweaver. could that be the problem?

moberemk Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Try re-downloading and re-installing Dreamweaver. That should help somewhat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moberemk Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 What's the version #? I think that maybe your version is corrupted somehow in that section of the code. Try going to Macromedia's website and downloading the installation files again, then re-installing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkytinky Posted April 7, 2006 Author Share Posted April 7, 2006 i think macromedia studio mx i just uninstalled and reinstalled, still same problem. can you tell me what i need the settings to be at when i define a site? like what should be in remote info and testing server and stuff. im using cuteftp 6 pro.

moberemk Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Is the testing server where you store all your files? If it is, then don't bother inputting any settings aside from a server model and a connection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zane Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 really...you don't need a testing servera testing server is for when you are publishing to a remote serveryou create a testing server that is....hopefully...identical in it's settings....so you know [b]before[/b] you publish it if it will workbut since you're doing it on localhostyou just need to tell it where you're local files areand just...forget about the testing server or cloaking server or anything else besides your local files.
