I'm going to guide you through, step-by-step as i do it right nowįirstly i'm guessing you already have XAMPP installed. You can check my site, which I will continue to fine tune: I gained a huge amount of knowledge from my experience and have been able to make some small css edits to my site in DW. On an encouraging note, I had NO knowledge of css, DW, or WP before I began my site integration. I hope you find some strengths in your learning process.
A helpful hint is to name the local database the same as you will on your server database. I created the MSQL database on the remote server then I uploaded WP directly into the BlueHost root directory files. I use BlueHost and I did Not instal WP on BlueHost with their “simple scripts” tool. He coached me through the process over Skype. I hired him for a couple hours to help me finish my DW & WP integration. Jeff knows WordPress well and knows development language well. If you are stuck, I strongly recommend getting some help from: I followed the video tutorial to the tee, but ran into problems when it came to setting up my remote database and server. I am not sure what extent you are trying to edit or where you are stuck on your integration. Don’t worry, if you’re 2 weeks into it you are not far from obtaining a solid familiarity with the set up:) I’ve made some posts regarding my experience integrating DW & WP using MAMP(I’m on a Mac). If you are trying to transfer an existing site to DW and set it up locally, then that is a little tricky and I have not seen anyone suggesting or offering instructions to do so.

However I used to use phpmyadmin to import/export but most of the time took only a few minutes.Īre you trying to edit your WP site remotely? If so, you can do this, but the full extent of live view and inspect mode is not available. Most all sites I do are DB driven - so I use a commercial product to sync databases in realtime and it usually takes less than 1 min.
My suspicion is this is where the conflict is - your webserver directory as created in DW and the one in the config file do not agree or there is a conflict with your username/pw.ģ. When you create the database or import it your have to enter a username/pw which MUST agree with your configuration file. Yes, export from the original db and import to the new/working db.Ģ. If you are using the default configuration you must use this directory for your site. Specifically, setting the server directory to something other than the default htdocs assigned by apache. I'll do the best I can come up with.To start with I have been running some version of apache/php/mysql for about 6 years so I have made customizations to my configuration that will not be like yours. Regardless, sorry for the lengthy post any help would be appreciated. Has anyone got this working? I haven't really heard of any success stories on Joomla. That's why I am super confused as to how I can see it connect to the db fine in DW but when I view the index.php within DW it says it cannot connect to the DB.įrom what the OP is saying, you didn't import your DB with phpmyadmin? Is this not a required step? So far using Dreamweaver on an existing Joomla site is extremely difficult and time consuming, so much so, that it has taken my about 6 hours of trying and failing and troubleshooting and have gotten nowhere. Using the XAMPP server I take it is simply like making a new copy of the files and structure, as well as the mysql database, to run on your computer locally. but it does not talk about importing the mysql database from an existing Joomla or Wordpress site (which will also have mysql table associated). The tutorial does talk a bit about creating a NEW mysql database and PHP files etc. If I try to view the index.php file in DW I get the the same "database error: can't connect to the mysql database" EVEN AFTER IT JUST CONNECTED IN THE MYSQL DATABASE. I can even see the mysql database tables in the browser and view information about them. Here is where it's weird: If I go to the "database" connection on my index.php file and set up for my local XAMPP server to connect to the mysql database for the site, it says "Connection Made" and there are no errors in connecting to the mysql database.
My issue varies here slightly and when I click on "Live View" of my local setup site (XAMPP running correctly) it says "database error:can't connect to the mysql_database". I synced my files between my local folder, my testing etc. I followed the same tutorial, I set up the XAMPP. I am having the exact same issue, but it's on Joomla.
