Hello,
I have Wamp setup on my computer to test some database work I am doing.
I have been able to connect to databases on my hosting service but need to do some local testing.
Through many post on WAMP forum I have had no luck in finding out why I can not connect to my server though Dreamweaver to my database.
I follow all the instructions I think but I must be missing something.
Config:
I do have Mcfee (bummer I know) with firewall but it says it give full access to WAMP. I have even disabled it and tried.
I do not have Skype or IIS running or installed.
I only have apache installed once as far as I can tell.
I have password and name "root" setup.
I have databases built in my www folder.
All services are running in WAMP.
I try to connect though the normal Dreamweaver way. >>Applications >>Databases>>My SQL Connection>>
I input:
Connection name: DBCart
MySQL Server: localhost
Username: root
Password: mypassword
Hit the select button and get:
1)There is no testing server running
2) The testing server specified for this site does not map to
[
localhost] URL.
Verify that the URL Prefix maps to the root of the site.
I have site set up :
Local root folder; C:\Program_Files\wamp\www\dynamicEcart\Starting_Points\
Images; C:\Program_Files\wamp\www\dynamicEcart\Starting_Points\images\
HTTP address: [
localhost] ALSO tried leaving this just at local host no luck
Testing Server;
Server Model; PHP Mysql
Access; local
Testing Server Folder: C:\Program_Files\wamp\www\dynamicEcart\Starting_Points\
URL Prefix; [
localhost]
PHPMyAdmin info:
User: root
Host : localhost
Password :Yes
Global privileges : ALL PRIVILEGES
Grant : Yes
Please please please somebody walk me through this.
I have been trying for days.
I need to test my shopping cart.
I have even tried on my laptop with wamp and Dreamweaver and can not connect.
It must just be something simple I am missing.
