Configuring Dreamweaver....another Newbie question.
Posted: 02. May 2004 20:40
Decided that the time has come to jump into PHP. Downloaded XAMPP and installed Apache and MySql - can't see how to install PHP.exe! Problem is, Dreamweaver MX doesn't seem to know that there's a server present. My only choice of browsers is the default IE. DW help tells me that if there's a server present I have the option of selecting localhost, but it isn't shown. I'm running XP Pro and Task manager tells me that Apache.exe is present and running. Also, I've never been asked to give a user name or password, so I'm wondering whether I've installed everything correctly. The test server is configured on DW MX, but, again, I'm not sure it's right. Is XAMPP the server folder, or is Apache? There seems to be a distinct lack of instructions included in XAMPP to explain such things. Any help would be appreciated so I can get down to building a webpage!
