Does anyone have any experience using Server2Go ? I am using this portable server to create and distribute educational progams. I am using Dreamweaver as my HTML editor. I have created a database using PhpMyAdmin but I cannot connect to it using Dreamweaver. I believe that the problem is defining the testing site. I am not sure what to use for that. Can anyone help? As you can probably tell, I am very much a novice in this regard. :?

Almost certainly you cannot connect to mysql because of it's default security, allowing only localhost connections:

Go through that article and you should be able to connect via Dreamweaver, MySQLYog, Access, etc.

Cheers,

I appreciate your feedback but I'm not sure this is what I am looking for. The link you provided points to an article on how to allow access to a remote database. My database is not on a remote server (it was on a remote server and I could access it through Dreamweaver no problem). Now I have it on my local machine. The PhpMyAdmin is part of the Server2Go package as is the Apache, PHO and MySql. I was able to access the PhpMyAdmin and create the database just like I do on my remote server but beyond that I really am lost. When defining the site in Dreamweaver, I setup the local folder the same as I would for any site I have done in the past and then I used the Server2Go/htdocs folder as the remote location. I also used the same location for the testing side and http://127.0.0.1:4001/ as the URL Prefix. However, Dreamweaver doesn't recognize this as a testing server therefore it will not create the database connection.

I read the article that you referenced but I don't follow.
:dubious:
