Maping To Localhost Testing Mysql

[wmabear]

Hello Everybody,

 

I am new to TCH and databases. What I am doing is building a new site that will be using mysql and phpadmin to generate dynamically. I have downloaded apache, mysql and phpadmin to my local machine created a test database and table. In DWMX VER. 6 I have created an insert form to load the info into the database.

In the Mysql Connection Box- I named the connection (insertdata), Mysql server: (http://localhost/), username, password, then when I get to database I called it products hit select and it came back error 404 1. testing server doesn't map to http://localhost/_mmServerScripts/MMHTTPDB.php URL. Verify that prefix maps to the root of the site or 2. There is no testing server running on the server machine.

My question i do I have to go into the Apache Server and map from that to the root of the site or is there something else that I am missing.

 

Thanks Mike

 

Any help would be appreciated just a little nudge.

In your site settings, make sure you have the "testing" server set correctly. That gave me a lot of grief when trying to make a remote connection. For the local connection, I don't remember having many problems...but I'm using phpDev for the local testing server. All the Apache stuff was already done!

 

I don't have access to my own local testing server settings this morning. If you are still fighting with this later, I will be able to get those settings so you have something to compare to!

Hi Natimage

 

I am in the process of double checking the install of Apache, Mysql php and Phpadmin now, every thing seems to be ok but I did find one spot that said something about on the previous uninstall there may have been a problem with the overwrite. If there are otherthings that I must do to tweak the install I am looking for them now. Do I have to maybe go in and change things to work right correctly I have had a good mornings sleep now and over the weekend hopfully will come to a better understanding of the whole process.

 

As far as the settings for the testing server no I am not 100% sure neither. still looking.

 

Thanks Mike
