MYSQL Connection & Dreamweaver

[Connie]

I've created a small sql database on my site that I want to connect to in Dreamweaver to create a php site. I'm getting an error message when I try to set Dreamweaver to connect to the database. The error msg. has 2 possible reasons
1. Please make sure that the web server is up and running.
2. Please verify that the ODBC DSN exists on the testing server.

I have the MYSQLServer set to the mysql number where the database is on powweb
My user name is correct
my password is correct

Any idea on what I am doing wrong?

Thanks!
Connie

You cannot remotely connect to our database servers, so you won't be able to use Dreamweaver. You can use our global installation of phpmyadmin (https://phpmyadmin.powweb.com).

Is there a way to download the database to my local computer and use dreamweaver to connect to it locally and the upload the database to my site?

Thanks,
