I cant connect to my sql server

each time i try to connect to my sql server i reseave this message from Dreamweaver : A server timeout has occured. Here are the possible reasons : 1-Please make sure that the web server is up and running 2- Please verify that the ODBC DSN exist on the testing server

Looks like you are trying to connect to a MS SQL Server.

We Do not offer support for MS SQL.

We use PHP / MySQL.

In Dreamweaver, there is no support for connecting to a MS SQL Server using PHP.

No it's a MySql Database

do you have a php page open when trying to create the connection?

make sure that the site is properly defined for connecting to the testing server.

see the following tutorial for details on defining a dynamic site:
