Hey,
I am currently creating a basic application using dreamweaver, php and mysql on a Mac (OS X 10.3). I don't have too much knowledge on this stuff so be gentle.
To do all the php and mysql stuff I have installed XAMPP for Mac. Installation went fine and all components are active.
I am having problems defining the site in Dreamweaver MX 2004. By the way I will be using the same machine that acts as a web server and used to edit the web pages. I have got the following info:
Local Info Section:
Site Name = My Site
Local root folder = Macintosh HD:MySitePages:
HTTP address = http://
Remote Info Section:
Access = Local/Network
Remote Folder = Macintosh HD:MySitePages:
Test Server Section:
Server Model = PHP MySQL
Access = Local/Network
Testing server folder = Macintosh HD:Applications:xampp:htdocs
URL prefix = http://localhost/
I have created a template which is stored in Macintosh HD:MySitePages:Templates. When I try to preview the template page in my browser I get the following messages which I click YES to:
Update Copy on Test Server? YES
Include dependent files? YES
After doing this I get the following error:
"Unable to create remote folder Macintosh HD/Applications/xampp/htdocs/Templates/. Access was denied."
After clicking OK to the error a "NOT FOUND - The requested URL /Templates/mysitetemplate.dwt.php was not found on this server." page is displayed in the browser.
I have tried to change the folder (xampp and htdocs) permissions but still that has made no difference.
I have not made any modifications to the php.ini file, would I need to do this?
In the php.ini file, is there something that needs to be placed in extension_dir = "./" ?
On my laptop running Win 2000 XAMPP and Dreamweaver work fine without any problems.
Sorry, I know this is quite detailed but does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks
