Panther and HTTPD.conf

Well I have found that Panther overwrites your httpd.conf file in Apache. So I edited the file to allow the server to run PHP. The web browser has no problem connecting to the MySQL database using a php file I created before installing Panther. I can view the database and update a record. But for some reason Dreamweaver is not connecting to the database. I gett the 404 error. If I look at the databases in the "Application" palette I see the database listed and I can even see the tables listed in the spin down of that database. But if I try to create a new connection to another database I get the 404 error. Even if I try to make changes to the database I have established a connection to I get the 404 error.

Like I said I had to edit the httpd.conf file because PHP wasn't working at all. Is there something I am missing? Any ideas?
