Need to run macromedia dreamweaver with apache

[Steven E. Protter]

I need to set up a developer using macromedia dreamweaver on my apache based web server.

I see examples on their website that mention the following requirements:

Jrun4 - an expensive, pay for java product. Do I need it or will Java run time suffice.
PHP - got it, came with the HP web server.
Mysql - Don't have it, can get it, want to know if I really need it.

I'd like to hear from people who run dreamweaver documents on their webserver and find out what they had to install or do to httpd.conf to get it working.

SEP,

If you're running 11.11 (the latest releases0 MySQL is already bundled with it and Apache is now part of HP Web Server (hpws) -- it now includes Tomcat as well - which is a good App Server. I just do not know if it (Tomcat) works with Macromedia software..

TO configure HPWS (TOmcat/Apache) -- I suggest you enable and use Webmin -- which is also now part of the HPWS package.

Did all that Nelson, except for the mysql. Are you telling me mysql is a requirement?

I need the site to run flash as well. Some of my servers are Linux based apache as well.

Gotta get them all working.

You need to follow the LAMP Model(Linux, Apache,MySQL, PHP) - even if you're not running on HP-UX... actually it should now be called TLAMP .. to include Tomcat ...

I've seen many shops drop SunOne/Iplanet/Websphere in favour of Apache/Tomcat/PHP/MySQL solutions..

I just don't know, not seen any implementation with Dreamweaver...

.. should have read.. even if you're not running Linux.. the LAMP model is very robust..

I'm not too sure I understand this question...

We use (soon to be used to) Dreamweaver with Apache - didn't require anything for our Intranet.

Main requirement was for check in/check out of docs and an easy to use interface for updating docs. We setup samba on the Web Server - and connect over the network to it for the remote site - and store copies locally on our pc's.

At home I use Dreamweaver with ftp to my Linux server running Apache as well...

As I mentioned, "used to" as we are moving to Mabo server for our Online Documentation - no need to run an expensive editor like Dreamweaver.

I know this probalbly doesn't answer your question...but I thought I'd throw it in.

Good catch Geoff.. that's what I was supposed to suggest.. MAMBO Server rocks, is free and is a very good example of the LAMP model.

Goeff, what if anything did you have to do to your apache hon Linux to work with your dreamweaver documents?

I'm thinking I need to get the trial version of Dreamweaver and play around with it until it works and then maybe my developer can do it.

This far, I found the rights were not correct on the directory I told her to upload to.

Fixed that. Sounds like I absolutely have to have mysql. Though I can't for the life of my figure out why.

All I did was ensure that the id I use to ftp had the correct permissions on my Linux server.

I run Mysql on my Apache server - but didn't need it when I setup Dreamweaver...I added it later when I started to play with db driven web sites...

Yes, go ahead and download the Trial version - good way to test.

When you add a site (Edit Sites) in Dreamweaver, say No to "I want to use server technology" - unless you really want to...IE Coldfusion, etc...

I didn't see Dreamweaver for HP-UX at:
http://www.macromedia.com/software/dreamweaver/productinfo/systemreqs/
Not at all answering your question, but when I went to wwww.software.hp.com, I saw Macromedia Flash Player for HP-UX. http://www.software.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=B9002AA

Ted,

Thanks for the reply. Don't want Dreamweaver for HP-UX want to know how to configure HP-UX so dreamweaver likes it.

Following Goeff's plan, hopefully will post a bunny at that point.
