how does this relate to mysql in any way? Equally, how is Dreamweaver relevant?? you either have a site that works, or doesn't. Can you please effectively clarify what you are asking about? you're using FTP? You're getting an HTTP error code using a non-HTTP protocol? How does that work?

This URL is just WRONG

"domain" has to be a (fully) qualified domainname.
Something like "domain.com".

And as the http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...d_kewpie-2956/ already mentioned:
It seems, that you want to give the visitor a download link.
So correct the URL to the proper format and path.

And beisdes: DON'T use ftp.
It's outdated and insecure.

I think you'll find the URL is totally valid, other that it's clearly been anonymized with "domain" being used instead of a real FQDN / local hostname.

You might be right.
Is just my assumption derived from the level of the question.
I resist to offer a bed on this. :-)

mohsin1122 · 02-20-2012, 07:49 AM

ok
the FQDN is HTTP://www.engineers-web.com
here is the required file placed
http://www.engineers-web.com/_mmserv...t/MMHTTPDB.php

i am a beginner
and i got this hosting for my Project
and for this project i need to connect my Dreamweaver to MySQL of my website

OK, so FTP is no longer part of the question? So you've a normal 404 on Apache, so where is your document root pointing on the config. It should be a pretty simple case that you haven't told Apache to look in the right place. Are you absolutely clear where the files really are?

And let's not mention mysql or dreamweaver again, as they aren't relevant.

And note that we do NOT need your FQDN at all, what you did originally was ideal.

yes i am absolutely clear about that file

acid_kewpie · 02-20-2012, 08:38 AM

well in that case, your documentroot is probably wrong. Are you using virtual hosts or just the standard main site, which would point to /var/www/html by default on most systems. You say you put it in public_html... That directory is usually a per user folder in your hopme directory, apache wouldn't have a clue to look there without being told.

If holding the files in "public_html" you have to point your browser to this location.

http://the.example.com/~YourUserName/filename

bro all the data in public_html folder can be accessed by only typing the url.

I don't know, what you mean with that.

It is just a proper URL I posted.

So what's the point?

well clearly not, otherwise you wouldn't be getting a 404 now would you?

mohsin1122 · 02-21-2012, 04:19 AM

uhelp · 02-22-2012, 02:19 PM
