yes, the same database can be used with security assist.

the database connection is configured on the Dreamweaver database tab.

see the "Creating your database connection in Dreamweaver " tutorial on the learning resources page:

Mysql error#:2002

No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it???

Connection Name: MyConnection
MySQL Server:localhost
user:root

Do you have a local testing server set up? or are you trying to connect to the database on the remote host server?

if the database is on the remote hosts server, you will need to check with them to see if it will be possible to create a database connection in Dreamweaver that will connect to the remote mySQL server, some hosts dont allow this. they will also be able to tell you the connection details for connecting to the database.


it's usually better to have a local testing server set up, with a copy of the database on the local server for development purposes, see the learning resources page:

your not really giving me a lot of detail to work with.


from the MySQL documetation:

  The error (2002) Can't connect to ... normally means that there is no MySQL server running on the system or that you are using an incorrect Unix socket file name or TCP/IP port number when trying to connect to the server. You should also check that the TCP/IP port you are using has not been blocked by a firewall or port blocking service.  




make sure that the MySQL server service is started on the computer.

try using the IP address:
127.0.0.1

instead of localhost.

wow, that's a very broad question.

first off, think in terms of the admin and DJ being a user level. you need to implement user level authentication. see the "User Level Authentication" tutorial in the archived documentation section of the security assist support page:
securityassist/


once you have user level authentication in place, you can create the admin pages and restrict access to them based on the user level session variable.


for the dj pages, when a user logs in, their user id is stored in a session variable. if you look at the way the user update page is configured, the recordset is set to filter the user id column on the iuser ID session, it is this userID session that allows you to relate information to a specific user.

for the profile photo, you will need to use the file manipulation portion of Universal Email or CSS form builder, add a photo column to the users table to hold the file name.

see the "How to apply Digital File Pro to DataAssist Insert and Update pages" tutorial on the data assist page for details on configuring the update server behavior:
dataassist/


you will also need to add columns for top 10 tunes etc to the users table and add form elements for these to the userupdate page.
