I am using the apache http server that comes with MOS X and I have installed mysql database too. The problem is when I create a connection to a database in Dreamweaver MX it says 'error 405 method not allowed' My Site settings are as follows; Remote Info: **************** Access: Local/Network Remote Folder: MacOSX:Library:WebServer:Documents: Testing Server: *************** Server Model: PHP MySQL Access: FTP FTP Host: 127.0.0.1 Host Directory: (empty) Login: ibook Password: (my password) Use Passive FTP: Checked URL Prefix: http://127.0.0.1 When I test the Testing Servers connection it connects fine I have done this in the past and it has worked, but my hard drive broke and when I reinstalled everything and tried again, it didnt work what am I doing wrong? Checklist: I DO have a user called 'mysql' I DO have the MySQL 'root' password set I DO have MySQl started up I DO have web sharing enabled I DO have file sharing enabled Apache IS running PHP is testing fine When I make a new database connection i use 'MySQL Connection' (it is the only one I can use for PHP). The settings I use are as follows; Connection Name: connGlobal MySQl Server: tried both 127.0.0.1 and localhost Username: root Password: (my root password for MySQL) Database: when I click 'Select' I get the HTTP Error code 405 (see above) I have a database created in mysql called 'master' and it does have tables in it. What have I done wrong?

Try tossing Dreamweaver prefs and see if that helps anything. p

How do I do that??

Find the prefs. Put them in the trash. p

Where r the prefs stored in MOSX? if this doesnt work, what am I ong wrong, are all the settings right?

There's a find application built into the OS. Use it. p

I have trashed the prefs, created a new site in Dreamweaver MX, and still, HTTP error 405 Method not allowed, are my settings correct??? I cannot see where I have gone wrong as the settings are identical to what I used first time round? thanx
