The XAMPP Server ( 32-1.6.7 ) and Dreamweaver

#1

First thanks to those of you that had / keep helping me.

The Xampp server seens to be working PERFECT.
Now, I getting a little bit confuse here, remember I switching from
Frontpage.

On frontpage you have your "local web" the folder where you working and
the "REAL SERVER" the one hosting your website.

In Dreamweaver I noticed a "real server" a testing server and my local web
folder ?

Can you folks give me some tips here, I know only 2 things, your folder,
where
you working and your hosting company........ what about the 3rd option ?

Is there a page someplace showing how to do the setup Dreamweaver to work
with Xampp ?

Thanks

You can point the testing server at your local files, at your remote
files, or at a third machine which is also set up as a server. In many
operations, there is a 'staging' server, where updates are posted and
tested before they're pushed to the production machine.

In order to use and test serverside scripting, you need to have a testing
server set up.

1. Local = where you create, save and edit your files
2. Testing = a webserver somewhere (local IIS/Apache, or some networked box
running a webserver) that will be able to parse your pages for server
scripting, and serve them back to your local browser
3. Remote = the production server where you publish your finished works

Unless you are building dynamic/server scripted pages, you would not need a
testing server.

In your case, with XAMPP, your testing server would be the root of the
Apache webserver on your box.

Excellent, thanks to both of you.

I installed the Xampp with no problem, for the reason that I want to learn
more about "web Programming / scripts" also if you remember
on another posts, we talk about SSI, in order to use this techniques
I will need the xampp server I presume.

Only if you are using PHP pages. You can use HTML includes on plain HTML
pages without a webserver.

Only if you are using PHP pages. You can use HTML includes on plain
HTML pages without a webserver.

But your production server has to be set up to recognize them; otherwise,
they won't work. Not all servers are.

I believe I did something like this: 

And got an error or waning, saying something that this was a SERVER Site
command
and not a local function.

On another words could be done ONLY on a server.

Nope. That's a standard HTML include, and it would work fine in DW.
