New User, need help setting up WAMP SERVER

Post by rondelw »

Hello...I'm a new user and trying to use this software instead of Dreamweaver...I'm trying to utilize wampserver because I like the mysql/phpmyadmin feature. With the webuilder software, I'm using the internal php engine, but how do I use the mysql? I figured out how to show the sql explorer, and how to add a database, but how do I create tables and connect to it in the script? Can someone please tell me how to do this or how to use WAMP SERVER with this software? I went to Options > Preferences > Preview > Mappings > checked the box and then set up variables to: C:\wamp\www\ & http://localhost/

What am I doing wrong? please help so I can continue on with my projects.

never use this and dont think it's a good idea(never could make it work), use the native workflow; connect from within webuilder using the proper php statements.
webuilder 2010 version 10.02 (10.0.2.118) is the best !!

yes im talking about mysql: dont use that mysql comand prompt that comes with webuilder, use native methods:thru php or thru the mysql admin panel, i think your wamp installation is flaw, to know if wamp is ok just do a query like :http://localhost/xampp/ , this is a query for xamp (i use xamp,dont know how wamp is configured)
webuilder 2010 version 10.02 (10.0.2.118) is the best !!
