I'm guessing "mysql" but since I don't use Dreamweaver I wouldn't know if it'll connect or not...

mysql is the database host but you cannot connect to it from your computer, so if dreamweaver is trying to connect to it then it wont work.

Figured it wouldn't work. I think we had a topic (or at least something similar) like this in the past as well. Couldn't remember exactly what was said but I think it came down to it not being able to connect.

It would be possible by enabling Remote Database Access Hosts, but that would only open another world of security vulnerabilities, and resource abuse, that we are not going to allow.

I still don't know why people do that though... (use something on their computer to connect to their host).

Why not just save your work and upload or something?

Anyways, just wondering :)

I think it's because people are getting used to working with apps to create/edit stuff nowadays... I'm still with Wordpad/Notepad most of the time :p :D lol

Since it is blocked, that is what I do.

Either that or I use WinSCP and edit it on the host.
