Local Testing

Hi

I have set up wamp and have added a msql, i have added a user and Privileges. but cant seam to connect can someone tell me what im doing wrong?


Server/Host Name: Localhost?
Database: test?
Username: daniel@localhost?
Password: and my password

any info would be great thanks

when you install wamp, it will create a default user named "root" i believe the default password for the root use is also "root", before creating your database connection, you should create a database using PHPMyAdmin.


in the database connection settings use:
Server/Host Name: Localhost
Database: this should be the name you use for the database in PHPMyAdmin
Username: root
Password: root

Hi

Thanks for the info but its not help,

can you tell me step by step for adding a new databass and user name password ect from the start because its not working

thanks

there is no need to create a new user in mySQL, just use the default root user.

through google i found this tutorial that walks through getting started with using PHPMyAdmin for creating a database:
easy-guide-for-installing-wamp-and-using-phpmyadmin.html

I'm a little unsure on what you are having trouble with, are you trying to create the database in PHPMyAdmin? or create the connection to the database in Dreamweaver?

When you say "it's not working" that does not give me anything to go on, please describe in detail how it's not working. do you get error messages? if so what are they?

Ok well i have imported msql in to the database called "ocd" and im trying to connect using

Server/Host Name: localhost
Database: ocd
username: root
Password: root

but its not connection i get the below error

"Error"
Database Information

* denotes required field

ERROR: Could not connect to the MySQL database. Please verify the server, username, and password are correct



??????????????????????????

in your dreamweaver site definition, how have you defined the connection to the testing server?

Can you send a screen shot in a zip archive of the site definition settings for connecting to the testing server.
