Topic:
Adobe Dreamweaver;Web Development Software;PHP Scripting Language
I have been sent a folder containing all the files downloaded from a previuosly live PHP / MySQL based website. I am trying to setup a local test server in Dreamweaver so I can view and edit the website as required but I'm unsure how to do so. Could someone please provide me with a guide on how to go about setting up a local test server for my site.
Many Thanks.
Many Thanks.

500 points EXCELLENT
just following the instruction or work around, you can do it later.
And it is xampp default index.html at example path c:xampphtdocs you can change to other
index page your like., for example, just copy index.html to index.html.bak
and then create or copy other website index.html you like.
You can download all webpage from external website and saved into c:xampphtdocs
or other directory, for example, you can save yahoo.com index page to
c:xampphtdocsyourdiryahoo.example.html
And then go to http://localhost/yourdir, it will display yahoo page.
So now your computer xampp act as apache server. when you go Dreamwaver, you
can go to http:/local or its other directory such as http://local/yourdir
I think now you know what xampp server is doing for you , Right ?
that is similar your account on hosting company such as Goddy but it
is free from using your local computer as apache sever.
If others want to go your local computer site, you need to give
him the computer IP or DNS domain address pointed to your computer so that others can come to your computer for web browser server

Yes, Apache server is running. If I goto http://localhost in Chrome I get the Xampp logo and some language options
Expert: duncanb7 replied at 2024-07-12 06:44:32
go to run c:xamppxampp_start that you can run apache server (I am not sure where you installed xampp, just guess at c:xampp)
Could you run http://localhost on IE or Chrome or FF browser's address bar to see any webpage ?
the index.html page at c:xampphtdocsindex.html for default page
At c:xampp, type dir xampp*.*, you can see xampp_control, xampp_start, xampp_stop

Thanks for the help so far guys. I've installed and set up Xampp and my site is recognising it through dreamweaver, however, I am now getting the following message when I try to load any of the pages from my site in dreamweaver:
Dynamically-related files could not be resolved because the site definition is not correct for this server.
I'm really not sure what isn't set up correctly. Any thought?

Dreamweaver is not really part of the setup. It's an editor that you might use after the server is set up and running. Here are some links that may be helpful.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/install.html
http://php.net/manual/en/faq.installation.php
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/linux-installation.html
If you're going to be using MySQL, you need to be aware of this:

What is your mean setting up a local test server for mysite ? What is "mysite" ? You want to setup your computer as local apache server with php operation. if so, you can download xampp for window at https://www.apachefriends.org/index.html
After xampp installation, you can put all file webpage downoad from live PHP / MySQL based website into local folder at c:xampphtdocs, and then you can open it on your local computer IE or FF browser by typing http://localhost if those file is webpage.
http://localhost will point to c:xampphtdocs folder on your PC after
command of xampp_start run
Hope understand your question.If not , please point it out
