I'm fairly new to web authoring and I am stuck. Would someone be kind enough
to help me over this last hurdle to getting my website working.



I have got DW8, php and MySql working fine on my own machine using Apache
but I don't seem to be getting it right to transfer it to my ISP's Remote
Server.



I am using WinXP SP2 and the server is Unix.



My HTTP website is working fine but I am trying to re-do it in php so that I
can use MySQL.



I have got phpBB2 working fine and linked to my site and I can get at my
tables through phpMyAdmin. The bit missing is to get the webpage showing my
data from the on-line version of my site. I have copied the file structure
from my DW local host site up onto the server, using FTP, and changed the
URL's but I still haven't got it right.



Can some one give me a check off list of the steps, or point me at a
tutorial, so that I can see where I am going wrong.



Many thanks.

You haven't really given much information, is your PHP code written to
use mysql or mysqli for instance? What kind of errors are you getting
(if any), etc...

Andrew,

Thanks for your reply but I have now sussed it. I pedantically went through
creating a fresh site and it works fine now. It was a wrongly referenced url
which I had overlooked.
