PHP is for sure not installed correctly. I hand a similar problem when I did the install for the first time. It was a while ago....and I don't remember clearly but I seem to remember that it had to do with mis-configuring apache for PHP. Honestly the best solution for all the time it would take is to just uninstall mySQL and PHP and go at it again following the directions closely. If you're looking for a handholding process through the installs the book "Foundation Dreamweaver MX" by Friends of Ed has a great opening on getting set up with PHP and mySQL.

When I created a php file in Dreamweaver MX, and I want to connect it to mySQL, I have problems with the connection. It doesn't connect, the error always something with the: The testing server specified for this site does not map to the http://localhost/_MMServerScript/MMHTTPDB.php Verify that the URL prefix maps to the root of the site. What is wrong? What and how can I do? I get crazy. THANKS, ildiko -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
