Setting up a local testing server in Dreamweaver CS5. Not all websites need a local testing server. If your pages contain only static HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, you can test your pages directly in Live view or by pressing F12 (Windows) or Option+F12 (Mac) to preview them in a browser without the need for a testing server. The same applies to web pages that contain content that is played back in Flash Player, such as SWF or FLV files.
You need a testing server only if you're using a server-side technology, such as ASP, ColdFusion, or PHP. The server is needed to process the dynamic code and convert it into HTML output that can be displayed in Live view or in a browser. A testing server works just like an ordinary website. The only difference is that it's not on the open Internet—it's where you iron out all the wrinkles before a site or an individual page goes live. Why can't I use my website for testing? You can, but it's not recommended. The time spent setting up a local testing server is well worth it in terms of efficiency and security. Connect to MySQL database in Dreamweaver.
