Problem setting up MySQL DB connection in DWMX

[dibbkd]

I am trying to setup PHP/MySQL database connection in Dreamweaver MX.

First let me say that my hand-coded PHP pages are working, so I know my DB name and password and stuff is correct.

In the MySQL connection window, I have the following:

connection name: mydatabasename
mysql server: localhost
username: myusername
password: mypassword (like i'm going to post it here )
database: mydatabasename

When I click "TEST", I get the following:

HTTP code 404, file not found:
1) there is no testing server running on the server machine.
2) the testing server specified for this site does not map to the

http://www.mydomainname.com/public_html/_mmServerScripts/MMHTTPDB.php

URL. Verify that the URL prefix maps to the root of the site.


I went to the CPanel and found the _mmServerScripts folder and the MMHTTPDB.php file in that folder.

Any suggestions please!

-Thanks

"password: mypassword (like i'm going to post it here ) "

yeah this is funny...we were all just waiting for your password..dam*

I went to the CPanel and found the _mmServerScripts folder and the MMHTTPDB.php file in that folder.

this too..but I would delete them from the local folder ( and server)and re-define the the site and connections...sometimes these scripts get corrupt....also make sure with your host that the folder where the _mmSripts are located is not read-write-protected.....try using plain FTP porgramm to double_check the size/date on that file and that it was not an empty File u uploaded....open the files and compare them local vs. remote
good luck
