Nadia-P Apr 16, 2009 10:01 PM (in response to the_missing_link)I'm not familiar with the setup of WAMP but a regular poster, David Powers should be along later (UK time) and he should be able to help, he an expert about all this stuff :-)

2. Re: Local network servers and dreamweaver conflict. Using WAMP need assistance.
David_Powers Apr 17, 2009 3:21 AM (in response to the_missing_link)I have never used WAMP, but the setup for a testing server is the same regardless of how you installed Apache and PHP.
- In the Site Definition dialog box, choose the Advanced tab, and then select Testing Server from the list on the left.
- Set Server Model to PHP MySQL.
- Set Access to Local/Network.
- Set Testing server folder to a subfolder of your Apache DocumentRoot. In the case of a standard WAMP installation, this is C:\wamp\www.
- Set URL prefix to http://localhost/ followed by the name of the subfolder you chose in step 4.
- Click OK to save the settings.
So, to set up a site called "test" in WAMP, this is what your settings should look like:

the_missing_link Apr 17, 2009 7:11 AM (in response to David_Powers)Thank you for taking the time to do that research . Unfortunatly I have my dreamweaver testing server setup just as you showed. I am not sure if it is a human error or a computer error in the programming of dreamweaver.

4. Re: Local network servers and dreamweaver conflict. Using WAMP need assistance.
David_Powers Apr 17, 2009 8:46 AM (in response to the_missing_link)I can assure you it's not a Dreamweaver problem. I have set up dozens of PHP sites in Dreamweaver in every version since MX 2004. If your testing server definition is correct, the problem lies elsewhere.
In your original post you say this:
I do have a few glitches in wamp like phpmyadmin being screwy and not showing up
It looks to me as though there's a problem with your WAMP setup. I suggest that you uninstall WAMP, and try installing it again (or you could try XAMPP instead). If you're using Vista, you need to be logged in as Administrator. It's also a good idea to turn off User Access Control (UAC) in the User Accounts section of the Windows Control Panel while installing WAMP or XAMPP.

5. Re: Local network servers and dreamweaver conflict. Using WAMP need assistance.
the_missing_link Apr 17, 2009 10:47 PM (in response to David_Powers)Thanks Dave I switched to XAMPP and had to modify the apache httpd because my port 80 is taken. I am still running into the same error but since you have more experience with XAMPP you may be able to help me fix it. I went into dreamweaver and defined the site just like I did in WAMP. Things may be a little different I am not sure. That isn't the whole picture. I AM USING VISTA. I can't get parts of xampp to load just like I couldn't get the same exact parts of wamp to load (phpmyadmin,mysql). To make it clear the services are running but when I go into admin I get a blank white screen with nothing anywhere. I am viewing it via firefox. I really need my XAMPP to work. This dynamic data project I am working on is big and the sooner I start the better!
additional info: I turned my User account control back on even though XAMPP says it may restrict usage. Was UAC in XP? I'm not sure if I want to turn my UAC off but I have a very good anti-virus that tells me when things are trying to be altered so I am not sure what the difference is.

JayJhabrix Apr 18, 2009 12:13 AM (in response to the_missing_link)Hi...
I don't think WAMP is a problem... I can't help you directly as i don't know enough and don't want to muddy issues but a few pointers:
1 / Port 80 taken. Are you using Skype? Or what program is using Port 80. If Skype, start Wamp first... Skype finds another port. Or configure the .ini file in Wamp / XAMPP.
2/ For online help on Wamp try their forum. Pretty helpful. Here's the link:
http://www.wampserver.com/phorum/list.php?2
3/ Check your firewall... could that be causing problems?
Hope you sort it out... please post back with the solution.
Cheers,
JJ

7. Re: Local network servers and dreamweaver conflict. Using WAMP need assistance.
the_missing_link Apr 18, 2009 1:50 AM (in response to JayJhabrix)Actually I don't have skype load up on start up. I found it to cause problems with computer speed. Port 80 is taken by microsoft. I am not sure why they're using that exact port but then again I rarely ever question them and I only question them when I know I will win. I have found out that part of the problem is a dreamweaver problem. the code I keep getting has something to do with contribute The following translators were not loaded due to errors: Server Model SSI.htm
has configuration information that is invalid."Here is the site that discusses this issue at length with no real solution. I am the only one using my computer and DW ftp access so I can just disable contribute. I will put the site link in my edit sorry have to close FF.
I am attempting to temporarily remove contribute and see if that solves this odd issue.
Removing contribute didn't work. I have seen these errors before. My only option is to re-install dreamweaver. Maybe everything will start working properly once I do that.
I got to get some sleep. I was going at about 75 mph most of the day on insane rollercoasters and I have bowling in 10 hours.

9. Re: Local network servers and dreamweaver conflict. Using WAMP need assistance.
the_missing_link Apr 19, 2009 5:36 PM (in response to David_Powers)My head feels like exploding. I have done everything I can think of to get xampp to work including reinstalling DW. I also tried installing a independent server but goofed on one step. Some papers I have read online say you need to put http://localhost:120 (the port name) however that didn't work either. I read Davids paper on xampp (well a portion of it) and right as I get to the part where he starts showing screenies of the phpmyadmin is where I know something is wrong. Nothing shows up when I go to http://localhost like it says in his paper. I know something from microsoft is using my port 80 but I tried rewriting the httpd to listen to port 120 and apache ran fine but phpmyadmin still didn't show up! maybe I need to change the mysql configurations??? I really need help.

10. Re: Local network servers and dreamweaver conflict. Using WAMP need assistance.
the_missing_link Apr 20, 2009 12:14 AM (in response to David_Powers)Well this is going to throw everyone for a head spinner!! I solved the xampp problem with the help of bef0rd on the #geeklog freenode IRC. After figuring out what wrong with XAMPP I went into dreamweaver and it recognizes it but the solution is whats going to throw everyone for a spin and david-- would you mind if I contributed to your article?? This isn't covered in it.
Step 1: Download Xampp
step 2: Xampp is set to work on port 80 by default. There was no way to clear my port 80 so I had to go into the httpd files and change it to port 120
step 3. I had to go to http://localhost:120 for anything to appear. Editing the localhost protocol in the httpd files so it automatically opens with port 120 is something I need to do tomorrow.
step 4: I went into dreamweaver and it STILL WOULDN'T RECOGNIZE IT UNDER LOCAL NETWORK!
Step 5: I changed from LOCAL NETWORK to WEB DAV then I typed in http://localhost:120/nameofrootdirectory and then put in my username and password and it worked!!!!!!!
I would like to thank bef0rd on freenode.irc #geeklog for helping me with the xampp issue.

Mark A. Boyd Apr 20, 2009 8:04 AM (in response to the_missing_link)Earlier you said that port 80 is taken by Microsoft. It it because you're also running Microsoft's IIS Web server? That would explain it.

12. Re: Local network servers and dreamweaver conflict. Using WAMP need assistance.
the_missing_link Apr 20, 2009 9:54 AM (in response to Mark A. Boyd)As far as I can tell I am not runnning IIS. I believe the service telephony is clogging up that port. I can't shut down telephony because it is connected to other services which won't allow it. I do have skype but I have had my skype turned off the entire time. I solved the problem so I am happy

mariehugh Apr 24, 2009 1:06 PM (in response to Mark A. Boyd)Hi Mark
Am trying to get the website defined properly so it uses WAMP, but when it calls on the files on URL its creating tmp.php instead of the files within the site???

Mark A. Boyd Apr 24, 2009 1:14 PM (in response to mariehugh)...when it calls on the files on URL...
I have no idea what you're saying here. What is it that calls on what files on what URL?
Where is tmp.php getting created?
Can you supply the steps I would need to go through to see this symptom (that I still don't understand)?

17. Re: Local network servers and dreamweaver conflict. Using WAMP need assistance.
the_missing_link Apr 24, 2009 2:00 PM (in response to mariehugh)I gave up on WAMP because I thought it was whack. I switched to XAMPP and
still had the same problems I had with WAMP. I had to change some of the
httpd file configurations to make it work. You will find out how I made it
work where I selected correct answer.

Mark A. Boyd Apr 25, 2009 1:19 PM (in response to the_missing_link)What is Jive software?
It's not a slang word I used . See the "Adobe Forums powered by..." link near the bottom of the page (in the Web forums, not in your email).
Whatever it is it either needs to be updated...
Adobe and Jive are working on more pressing issues at the moment.
... or annihlated
You'll have to stand in line for that request. See: Forum Comments over in the General Forums.
