Problem:
How to Connecting to your MySQL DB database from Dream Weaver?
Solution:
Please follow the steps carefully as below.
Log into your LB Hosting account and click on "MySQL Databases" then under
"Users" create a new user and password if you don't already have one you want
to use.
Then add that user to the database you wish to work with through Dreamweaver.
At the bottom, add the symbol to the Allowed Host listing, this is a
wildcard and will allow connection from any computer if they have the correct
user name and password.
Now open Dreamweaver, create a new blank PHP page, then at the top bar click on
"Site" then "New". Leave the "Local Info" as it is, but click on "Remote Info"
instead and change the access type to FTP.
Here are the settings you will need to fill out:
FTP host = your domain name or IP (the IP can be found in the Control Panel)
Host Directory = public_html (or public_html/addondomain)
login = control panel (cpanel) username
password = control panel (cpanel) password
Next click on Testing Server then change the Server Model to
PHP/MySQL and access to FTP. Use the same account information as above, and
if Dreamweaver asks for a Remote Info Page, simply use
http://www.yourdomain.com
Now to connect to your account and set up a connection to a database.
Up at the top menu bar in Dreamweaver click on Window then Databases.
This will bring up a menu on the side bar, if it is not already up, where you
can click on the + button and set up a MySQL Connection. Label it what you
would like in the Connection Name and use these settings:
MySQL Server = localhost
Username = The control panel username then _ and MySQL database username
Example: cpanel_mysqlname
Password = Password to the MySQL database username
Database = Click Select and choose your database
Then you can test the connection to see if your settings are correct.
