Hi Janine

I’ve followed all the instructions in your book (and the DVD) for uploading a database with Dreamweaver 8 as I need to put user authorization on my site, but the mdb file won’t upload to my server. I’ve tried using the database I downloaded from the Digital Family site, but no luck so far! Do you have any answer for this?

I love your DVD training and have found it invaluable in creating my site. I would hugely appreciate any help you can give me with the database upload.

Many thanks,
Lois

Hi Lois,

I wish I could help you more, but the answer to your questions depends on how your Web server manages databases and the dynamic technologies needed to connect them to your Web site. Unfortunately, not all servers support all technologies, and not all servers support all database options the same way. You also may be running into limitations because where you upload your database and other files on your server can also be important. If your server does support all of the technologies you’re using, you may simply need to make a few adjustments to make sure your connection string works on the server, which may be set up differently from how your site is set up on your hard drive.

Ultimately, these are all questions for your Web host. How you take care of these final steps is completely dependent on your Web server.

I hope that helps and I wish you all the best,
Janine
