Hello,
I am having a problem getting Dreamweaver MX 2004 to work with the Webserver that comes with MacOS X.
I have activated the webserver and can view my pages through it fine, but in Dreamweaver, I am trying to create a database driven website, however, when I try to add a database connection, I click on the + button but it simply depresses with no popup menu that I am familiar with on the PC version.
I have setup a Site through Dreamweaver, and have just installed the latest version of MySQL but that has not helped either.
I tried going to the Bindings tab, clicking on the + there (which works) and in the Create Recordset, I tried the Define button to get into the window that way however, the window does appear but all of the buttons are greyed out, so I can't add the connection that way either.
I was wondering what I am doing wrong, or whether there is an 'out-of-the-box' webserver available for the Mac like Firepages phpDev (www.firepages.com.au) which comes with Apache, MySQL and basically everything you need all setup, and whether that would help.
For your information I am running MacOS X 10.4.1, Dreamweaver MX 2004 (as previously mentioned), the latest version of MySQL (4.0.24-apple-darwin7.7.0-powerpc).
I have searched absolutly everywhere for this, but either nobody is having the same trouble as me or they havn't posted anywhere about it.
I have also tried creating the site and database connection on the PC version, which worked fine, and then copying it to the mac but when I open the page that connects to the database, Dreamweaver crashes (I had the same database setup on the Mac as on the PC so I wouldn't have to change anything).
Anyway, if anyone can help me with this, it would be greatly appreciated!
Many thanks,
- Keir
