I deleted the other instance of Mysql in my system. It was the Mysql Preference Pane. Still no database connection. I notice that when I turn off my airport internet, the personal address goes back to ~william/ . I used this for new site definition, and still no connection. I'm really stumped,because I only made about 100 database connections before reinstalling all of this "same" software. I did a timetest.php, and php showed the correct time in browser. When I try to view php pages from dreamweaver cs3 I get Not Found The requested URL /~william:Sites:one/Untitled-1.php was not found on this server. This should be a clue as to some piece of the puzzle is missing. Mysql is on, php is working. Apache has to be working for Php to be enabled .......right? Thanks for your help
Wiliam
