Cannot set up Apache/PHP/MySQL connection in DMX2004

[geordieg]

I still havent been able to solve this..

I uninstalled everything & reinstalled apache/php/mysql using xampp.
i can access localhost through Iexplorer & verify all are working fine, i can
create/modfy a database using phpmyadmin but still no joy in dreamweaver.

when i try to set up the site definition, it will not accept
[url]http://localhost/baz[/url], or even just [url]http://localhost[/url]. i get the error message
"Dreamweaver cannot use the prefix you used to display live data" & ends
referring to "HTTP error 12029"

Help !!!!!!!!!!!

Hi

I've found similar problem (WinXP + DWMX2004). As I saw in Macromedia
knowledgebase and forum it is a common problem. I've read somewhere in the
knowledgebase that DW dosen't really likes if the testing server and the remote
server is the same. My starting situation was that I've set my remote
webhosting service both as testing server and remote server in DW and got the
well known error message. I donno the the root of the problem but the solution
for me was that I've installed a webserver, MySQL and PHP on my local machine
and set up my local machine in DW as testing server. The remote server remained
the same remote webhost server with FTP connection as before and DW likes it.
Maybe it helps, good luck.

Solved it.. thanks to information on another forum.

My problem was that i had PHP v5 installed & DMX doesnt support it yet.

changed to v4.3.10 & everything works fine.
