'unidentified error' when connecting PHP/MySQL

[amihk]

Hello,

I've been following the Dreamweaver article instructions for setting up PHP,
MySQL and Apache on Mac OS X for Dreamweaver. Everything went well until the
time to make the MySQL connection in Dreamweaver--when I click on the select
button for the database, I get an error message:
"An unidentified error has occured."

I'm new at this so it may be that there's an easy answer out there. From
searching the web for a solution, it looks like a lot of people are having
similar problems with this. I've tried many different solutions from past
postings but unfortunately none of them worked for me. I've also read through
the Dreamweaver Technote #16515 (Unidentified error occurs when testing
PHP/MySQL connection) and followed the steps there. I got stuck on this step:
"Verify that the connection scripts are up on the server"
When I opened up the http:/myserver/mysite/_mmServerScripts/MMHTTPDB.php on
the webserver, it came up blank. How do I get it to work correctly? Is this
what's causing the "unidentified error" problem?

I'm running:
MAC OS X 10.4.2
Dreamweaver 6.1
MySQL 4.0.21
PHP 5.0.4

I've been stuck on this problem for 3 days now. I would greatly appreciate
any help.

Thanks in advance!

oops, I viewed the wrong MMHTTPDB.php file when verifying the connection
scripts. I've now opened the correct MMHTTPDB.php file but it did not contain
the 2 lines:
"Notice: Undefined index: Type in
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\mysite\_mmServerScripts\MMHTTPD B.php on line 13 "
"Notice: Undefined variable: oConn in
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\mysite\_mmServerScripts\MMHTTPD B.php on line 20"

mentioned in the macromedia technote
([url]http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_16515[/url]).
So I'm still totally stuck... help, please, somebody! Thank you.

I am experiencing the same behavior on my end. I have php/mySQL running on the same box locally so their shouldn't be a port issue because the address is localhost.

My username and password are fine.. but whenever I get a connect, I get this dialog. So annoying, because there is nothing wrong.

I tried changing my site to Testing Server to see if that would help..Nothing..
