Using dreamweaver cs5 & live view


Recommended Posts

Hi

Have you set up a MySQL data base on your PC/Mac to run PHP pages? Without running a MySQL data base on your system you will be unable to view pages in browsers. Once you have set up a data base you then need to set up a test server in Dreamweaver. Takes a while but well worth it.

Do you have Mac or Windows?

Thanks for the reply.

I have now managed to get this working. Initially I used my host to install PS on my (remote) server and then used Dreamweaver to download this onto my local server. When I did this I was not able to get it working.

I have now downloaded a copy of PS to my desktop direct from the PS site and I am now able to get this working on the local server. I think it may have been an issue with the database name however I am unsure.

I am now trying to use DW CS5 to edit the shop. As this is my first attempt I am not doing very well. When I enter the live preview and live code view I am able to see the code that I need to ammend in order to make a particular change to the site however as soon as come out of live code (as you cant edit in live code) it reverts back to just showing the main PHP file. I hope this makes sense.

Do you know how I can easily edit PS using DW CS5.
