First my setup: Windows XP SP2, No IIS, WampServer 2.0, DreamWeaver CS3
What's working: Already have a MySQL database that I can "talk" to using
phpadmin. I can "see" my localhost
directory on my FF.
Using localhost as testing server with the following setup:
Server Model: PHP MySQL
Access: Local/Network
Testing Server:C:\wamp\www\
URL prefix:http://localhost:/

I got to the point where I actually able to see my site files load into my
testing server (both on expanded local/remote window and also looking into the
folders).But I couldn't get passed the 3rd step of the dynamic data setup under
Application->Database ( Setup the site's Testing server). It remains unchecked
and prompts me to set it up again.

I'm fairly new at this and have scoured the web for advice. Please before
I lose all my hair. Thank you in advance.

Was the : a typo here?

http://localhost:/

Might just try:

http://localhost/

If you set Apache to use any port other than 80 then it would be like this:

http://localhost:8080/

where 8080 is the port you told Apache to use.

The httpd.conf should show what port.

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/bind.html

Search your httpd.conf for Listen
