Todd.M Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I am very new to this whole PHP ~ MySQL testing server thing, so bear with me. I have installed XAMPP to it's default location (C:\XAMPP\). Using Dreamweaver 5.5, in the Define New Site, I am looking at the 'Site Setup for...' window. Under Version Control, I have Access: Subversion Protocol:HTTP Server Address: localhost Repository Path: ?????? Server Port: 80 User Name: ********** Password: *********** I keep getting errors in the Repository Path. How should this be setup? So far everything is set to run from 'C:\XAMPP\htdocs\' I know this may be beyond the scope of the forums here, but I get too overloaded with Google searches and the 9 book course load I have now. does anyone have a quick 'How-To' for this so that I can test Larry's php code and revamp it to my needs? Thanks for everything Larry. Your book has taken my understanding WAAYYYY beyond what my other 3 for PHP MySQL have taught. Todd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Thanks for the nice words, Todd. Unfortunately, I'm not a DW person (and isn't that a very old version?), so I can't offer much in the way of specific help. Except to say that I don't think you need version control at all.

Jonathon Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 I don't think you need to use the subversion for it to work. On my site setup for ..... in the site tab i have the: Site name = 'what ever you want to call it' local site folder = 'C:\xampp\htdocs\' the servers tab i have: Server name = 'localhost' Connect using 'Local/Network' Server folder = 'C:\xampp\htdocs\' Web URL = 'http://localhost/' Make sure that the "Testing" box is highlighted also Version control = Access = None That's about it really, works for me, hope it helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd.M Posted October 15, 2011 Author Share Posted October 15, 2011 Thanks to both of you. I found the answer, funny, in PHP 6 and MySQL 5 by none other then Larry Ullman (I know I've heard that name somewhere?!). ok that said, i've have just downloaded the zip's for comparison to what i've scripted and the includes > 'mysql.inc.php' file does not appear to be in the zip folder. did i miss something or should i just keep reading? Jonathon, you are correct. DW Site setup needs to be pointed into the htdocs\* site name* with the reference set to site root for the correct location when sent to server. Give me 4 months and i'll be able to answer questions like a pro, well almost:) using; -Dreamweaver 5.5 (latest ver.) -XAMPP 1.7.7 (latest ver.)

Todd.M Posted October 15, 2011 Author Share Posted October 15, 2011 Disregard the last post, as it is above the root, thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending upon what chapter you're talking about, the instructions in the book may be to use a MySQL file from a previous chapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
