PHP/MySQL - Error 405 method not allowed

[blu_sky]

I've had the most harrowing weekend trying to troubleshoot the "HTTP Errror
code 405 Method Not Allowed" message that I have been getting for the past few
days, whenever I try to establish a connection with my db - it is maddening! I
recently upgraded to DW 2004, and ever since I've essentially been locked out
of accessing my remote (or local) db. Even after uninstalling 2004 and going
back to v.6, the problem still remain. Needless to say, I've done a complete
reinstall of MX 2004 no less than 3 times in the past 2 days, and spent many
hours scouring the web in search for an answer to this dilema, without luck.
I've also tried the solution offered by Macromedia found by downloading
scripts.zip - still no luck. I'm at my wits end with this. Does anyone have any
ideas?

have you updated your mysql server to the 4.1 version? this could be a possible problem because the password hash has been modified.

Yes, I'm running version 4.11, I upgraded just 2 days ago as part of my troubleshooting effort - still no joy.

[udo kant]

well, unless 4.1 is not strictly necessary, just get back to a previous distribution...

Check your password and user name in MySQL. I had this problem and it was the fact I didn't have these matchining in Dreamweaver.

Problem Solved! Thanks for the input everyone - connecting normally now. After
nearly a week of trying, here's what I did:

1). I downloaded and installed [url]http://php.planetmirror.com/downloads.php[/url]
4.3.11 on my win2k machine.

2). Next, I switched my testing server to point to my remote server and then
tried to establish a connection again using the Databases-->MySQL Connection.
At first, I got the error message "1045 access denied for user...". I then went
to the Site Definition setup screen, where I changed the testing server's URL
Prefix FROM [url]http://ftp.123mysite321.com/[/url] TO [url]http://www.123mysite321.com/[/url]. The
connection was made smoothly - as it should. Switching from ftp to www in the
URL Prefix, seemed to have been the key.

3). I then continued to Control Panel-->Admin Tools-->ODBC Data Source
Admin-->User DSN tab-->Add, and chose the MySQL ODBC 3.51 driver. After this, I
switched the testing server to again point to my machine (localhost). Everthing
is running smoothly now - after a few very long days. I hope that this info
helps someone else. Thanks again for the help!:D

I'm lost by your explanation. I, too, have had a harrowing weekend.
No matter what I did I got the 405 error -- even after installing
Apache and following all the steps in "PHP Web Development with
Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004".

Finally, I created a new site, this time filling out all the steps in
"Basic" before going to the advanced. Now I get "unknown error".

Help pleeeeeaaaaase.
