Xampp and Dreamweaver
Posted: 30. January 2008 22:38
I recently took a class titled: Dreamweaver CS3 with PHP and MySQL, the class is over and I am trying to do what we did in the class on my own.
In our class we put our database in htdocs, the software I used to convert a Microsoft access database to a mysql database is different and now I can’t get it to work.
I am using Vista and Dreamweaver 8, here is where I am:
I used a program called “MS Access to MySQL”.
The program placed the database in: C:\xampp\mysql\data
In our class we placed the database in: C:\xampp\htdocs
The database shows up in phpMyAdmin.
In XAMMP Apache and MySql are running.
I will be creating a test site, so all the files for my website will be on my local machine.
Should the MySql database be in the local root folder of my website?
I am unsure how to set up the Site definition for: Local Info, Remote Info, and Testing Server.
Can anyone set me straight on this?
