Cannot enter URL or use advanced tab when creating a (local) testing server

Hi,

I have created a site in Dreamweaver and I have tried creating a testing server. However everytime I try to create a test server Dreamweaver does not allow me to enter the Web URL in the server window. I knnow its local (localhost) but it seems it should still need a URL - http://localhost/...

It allows me put in the name of the server the connection type - Local/Network and allows me to browse to the server folder and select it but does not allow me to put any data in to Web URL: field.

Additionally, it does not allow me to select the Advanced tab to specify my Server Model - PHP MySQL.

When I click save with these settings I can see all the necessary files and folders in the Dreameaver Testing Server window but when I go to create a database connection I get an error saying "The URL prefix http:// for this site's testing server could not be resolved" - on hitting the Select button to select the database.

I am running WAMP (in Windows 7) and I can see the database in phpMyAdmin. I know the username and password are correct.

Any help would be appreciated - Thanks
