Sorry,
Using httpd-2.2.15-win32-x86-no_ssl and php-5.3.2-Win32-VC6-x86.zip. At this point I'm not doing anything with MySQL.

The tutorial works. I changed the dir for my files to C:\htdocs. http://localhost/ shows
my php screen.
Dreamweaver CS5 doesn’t like the virtual server. Live View show error server not found and
the browser says “NetError Page”.
How do I set up my server non-virtual? Nothing seems to work (except this tutorial) and
can’t find help on the web.
Using mysql-workbench-gpl-5.2.25-win32.msi and php-5.3.2-Win32-VC6-x86.zip

HiStuart,
I found the solution, is the server ip address and port number as seen below, is what you should use in the connection. It works

// we connect to localhost at port 3306
$link = mysql_connect('127.0.0.1:3306', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password');
if (!$link) {
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
echo 'Connected successfully';
mysql_close($link);
?>

I originally used these same tutorials to download and install Apache 2.2.9, mySQL 5.0.67, php 5.2.6 and phpMyadmin 2.11.9

I recently upgraded the php to php 5.3 and have hit problems – basically when I run a script which issues a mysql_connect() or @mysqli_connect command it fails with the error:

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: [2002] A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not (trying to connect via tcp://localhost:3306) in C:Serverwwwmyserver.devpublic_htmlpost_message.php on line 17

My questions are:

1. should I be using the most recent versions of Apache and My SQL in conjunction with php 5.3?
2. can I simply overwrite the existing installed versions or do I have to uninstall and then re-install?
3. crucially – will my doing all this resolve the problem I have just reported?

I look forward to reading any helpful comments that people can offer.

Stuart

PHPMyAdmin problem – look at Step 2 Edit 1.

Did you make the change but forget to uncomment the line for the extension directory in php.ini? None of the tutorials mention it explicitly, but it would be a very simple and hard to find mistake to make…
