From: Simon@Gigatronix on 1 Nov 2006 12:54 I have full root access, so only my lack of ability stops me setting the directory permissions approprately, or messing the server up. Having amended the website's root permissions and testing the MySQL connection in Dreamweaver again, Dreamweaver has now uploaded the _mmServerScripts directory with MMHTTPDB.php and mysql.php therein. Now another error arises - HTTP Error Code 404 .... That's within Dreamweaver. http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/484/dreamweavermysqlconnectsi4.jpg I can't take anymore today... O_o

The site www.gtxgroup.co.uk is currently just index.php and the php cade thereon does connect to MySQL it seems. Any ideas?

Yes- you've defined the site to the FTP or hosting root, which is a private folder you don't have write access to. the site root is httpdocs, it's where the public site files go. set the local folder to the httpdocs folder In the remote server info, put httpdocs into the Host Directory line. If you need to "do" anything in the FTP root, use a different ftp client, or make a new site def. in dw (such as if you will have SSL pages, define a site to the httpsdocs folder and work on the SSL pages from within that distinct site definition in dreamweaver) > Looking at the folder structure in your Files panel, it looks as though > Host directory should be httpdocs. |
