Can't insert content from Power CMS

Can't insert content from Power CMS

I have created a page and I am trying to "Insert Content From Power CMS" into the page. My Power CMS connection is defined AND both my remote and testing servers are the remote server - I am not using my local server for this scenario. When I test the connection on the server, I get the following error: HTTP Error Code 400 Bad Request.

What have I done wrong? I made sure that I checked my remote server for my testing server so I could create pages in Dreamweaver. Thanks!

In the settings for the remote server, make sure that the WebURL setting is the Correct URL address to open your site. It should be the http address to access your site, the address you should use in a web browser to see pages on your site.

If the FTP Connection does not default to the root of your webspace, make sure that you enter the root directory. For example, some hosts have the FTP settings connect under the web space, when you connect via FTP you may see a public_html folder or an htdocs folder that is the web root. if that is the case, you need to enter that for the root directory.

I still can't connect. This is on a windows server and the default directory is wwwroot.

In dreamweaver, I made sure that my web server is BOTH the remote server and the testing server. Within the FTP setup dialog box, my root directory is /wwwroot/ and my Web URL is CMS/. I still can't connect to the database directly through Dreamweaver.

When I test the PowerCMSConnection through Dreamweaver, I get the following error message:

HTTP code error 404 not file not found. Here are some possible reasons for the problem.

1) There is no testing server running on the server machine.
2) The testing server specified for this site does not map to the MMHTTPDB.php URL.

Verify that the URL prefix maps to the root of the site.

since the URL is pointing to the CMS directory of your site:
CMS/

that needs to be included in the root directory setting
/wwwroot/CMS/
