Hi, just wondering if anyone can help.

Not used my database space for a few years now, but doing my HNC computing and decided to update my website as part of my multimedia project/assessment. I used to use an off site Guestbook, but now I know how to build my own, so want to program one myself.

The site is complete apart from the user guestbook. I cannot get Dreamweaver(CS3) to connect to the mySQL database on my webspace. I have read that it is a problem with Dreamweaver, but possibly F2S (now owned by whoever) have changed it so you can only access the database through myPHPAdmin on the site.

I am a bit lost with how to connect now, with server changes as well.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks all.

I always just use phpMyAdmin, but if I were you I would install a command line mySQL client on my PC and see if I could connect using that. If it worked it would at least show that it wasn't a problem with your connection (e.g. port 3306 blocked) or whatever.

You only can manage your database through the freedom2surf members login area.

Remote access via client database utilities is not possible as the databases are located behind a firewall.
