Hello everyone. Today I am going to show you how to define a
site and Localhost testing server in Adobe Dream weaver CC. It is necessary when you
create a website using PHP and you need to test your website In your own
computer. The PHP site is not executed by website rather it executed in server
so you can test your PHP site in your localhost by installing the server
application like WampServer for windows and Mamp server for mac.
Following are the steps used to define the site and testing
server in Dream Weaver CC.
First of all start your WampServer, when you start the WampServer,
First, it’s color is red then after sometimes it turns into the green. If it
does not change to green in stay in yellow you need to user another port by
right clicking on your yellow signed WampServer icon from the system tray and
go to Tools and then select port like 8080, 3306 etc. after doing this your
WampServer Color will change into green which means your WampServer is ready. And
open the Dream Weaver CC as well.
1. In the menu
click in the site and click on new site. After this you will see this window.
