Dreamweaver MX and Apache. Setting up testing server on my machine. Nothing fancy - no PHP yet.

Directory Structure is
C:\Apache Software Foundation\Apache 2.2\htdocs\antiques_phpIn that folder the following folders _mmServerScripts, Antiques, Connections, Images and Inetpub.

F:\DRMWR\Inside MX\Chapters\Chapter_30In that folder the same folders as above.

(I am using Inside Dreamweaver MX by Gutman, AYers and Booth -if that helps - this is the PHP chapter)

I use the following parameters to set up the connection:
Connection Name: Antiques_Conn
MySqlServer: localhost (OR localhost:8080)
UserName: root
Password: ****
Database: Whether I hit select or type in the database name I get the following error message:

HTTP Error Code 404 File not found
1) There is no testing server running on the server machine
2) The testing server specified for this site does not map to http:localhost:8080.--mmServerScripts/MMHHTPDP.php URL. Verify that the URL Prefix maps to the root of the site.

From the Site Set up the local root folder is
F:\DMWVR\Inside MX\Chapters\chapter_30The remote is
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\antiques_phpThe testing server is
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\antiques_php
The 'missing' file MMHHTPDP,php is found in
C:\Apache Software Foundation\Apache 2.2\htdocs\antiques_php\_mmServerScripts

Anybody give me a clue?

Would Dreamweaver 8 be easier?
