Hello, I have been trying to get this to work for the last 2 days. After I downloaded MySQL I went to the Server Instance Config Wizard. After I finished it I went to Dreamweaver and tryed to make a connection but when I made the database I only made a root password so what should I put under these categories:
Connection Name:
MySQL Server:
UserName:
Password:
Database:
Thanks, and also next to database when I hit select it always says that my php server doesnt have the MySQLmodule loaded or you cant use the mysql_(p)connect functions.

Connection Name: my_first_connection_or_anything_I_want_to_put_here
MySQL Server:127.0.0.1 (if it's the same computer, otherwise, enter the ip adress of the computer, or it's name on your network)
UserName:root
Password:{nothing if you let the root password blank, but it's __BAD__ practices}
Database: {You had to give a name to the database you created, enter it here}

As for the PHP module, look into the php.ini (it's located in the php install directory usually) and ocate the line

extension = mysql.dll

and remove any ";" you might have before it.
Then, restart the apache web server to apply those modifications and you should be ok.

But I'd say you would rather use something like xampp [ http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html ] which bundle apache, PHP and mysql together
and configure it out of the box, rather than downloading each part yourself, if you have no experience in setting them up.
