MySQL with Dreamweaver.....?

[sofdjasdifaspidfdasf]

I have been trying to get MySQL working with Dreamweaver, but it seems
impossible....
When I try to test the MySQL connection I always get: "An unidentifed error
occured". I have tried the settings every way possible i think.. Sometimes a
error message displaying someting about syntax error comes instead. But cant
get it connected.
So I browsed macromedia.com, found that updating to 7.0.1 should fix the
problem, so I updated, but still the same..
So can someone please help me, beacause I am completley stuck!

I run IIS localy on Windows XP pro. I have installed the latest version og PHP
and MySQL.. Dreamweaver MX 2004 v 7.0.1 is installed.

can u connect via mySql Administrator or phpMyAdmin?

Do you have any extensions installed ??

I found that PHPakt can sometimes give these errors.

Also have you tried it via a FTP type connection.

On my machine I had it working with Apache and then one day it just stopped
working and no matter what I tried I couldnt fix it.

I work via FTP with a server now and I never get this error.

I had the same problem here is how i fixed it:
Check all ur settings are correct and ur mysql server + ur webserver such as
apache....
the default username for mysql is root unless u define another....
take the http:// away from the from of ur mysql server address.... For ex.
mine is localhost:3306 (127.0.0.1:3306) try both
when i corrected this there was another error... this was fixed by changing
the password to 16 bit the instructions for this are on the mysql website...
There is a helpful admin tool there too which has a system tray tool for mysql
this is uselful for checking if ur server is running cool....

What version of MySQL are you using? There is a known problem with PHP and
MySQL 4.1 - you can view a knowledgebase article on the subject at:
[url]http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=c45f8a29[/url] I did
some testing on a couple of servers - one has MYSQL 4.1, the other has version
4.0.18. I can connect to the latter no problem using PHP, but can't connect to
the 4.1 server ('HTTP error code 405'). Fortunately I code mainly in ASP and
have no problems accessing either server, so I haven't had to research further
into the problem. Hopefully the above-mentioned article will help.

I installed the PHAkt extension from InterAKT and never had a problem again.
