Hi,

I am not too familiar with dreamweaver or databases for that matter. But I have read 100's of posts on the net about this and some have fixed the problem and the other half fall into my category where nothing works. I have created a MySQL database on our dedicated server and a user. I created an ODBC connection on the server. There is a test button on the server and it tests ok. I setup a php page in dreamweaver and setup all the connections. It connects to the webserver. I setup the ODBC connection in dreamweaver and the box to choose the database will not find the database. After it uploads the two script files it gives me the same error everytime for the last eight hours messing with it: There is no testing server specified for this site does not map to the mydomain.com/mmServerScripts/MMHTTPDB.php URL. Verify that the URL prefix maps to the root of the site.

I even went into the server and changed the mmServerScripts folder permissions to full thinking it was a permissions problem. I then went into the database user and granted full access. Removed the script files and connection in dreamweaver a dozen times and started over. Still the same error everytime. And i thought the tough part would be to get the submit to database and searchable forms setup.

Please can someone help?

Thanks,
