Making a db in DW on a mac

[denise234045]

I've gotten through the tutorial up to the point where I need to make the db connection in dreamweaver...
From the MySQL Connection, after I fill in the MySQL server, Username and Password - when I then try to connect to the database I get an error connecting message.

I've attached a pic the pop-up error that I'm getting

I can make the connection fine with myQuery....

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks.

From the error message, you have not set the testing server settings for you site definition properly.

It looks like the URL prefix you entered:
http://127.0.0.1

is not correct.


The following websites have good resources for setting a PHP testing server and configuring your site in Dreamweaver:
