Need help with Dreamweaver + Wamp set-up configuration


Recommended Posts

I want to develop my Prestashop locally but I seem to be having problems setting up dreamweaver to work with Wamp.
I'm trying to install my store locally in a directory called 'store' as the final uploaded version will be in a directory called 'store' also so heres the configuration I used in Dreamweaver:

LOCAL INFO
LOCAL ROOT FOLDER: C:\wamp\www\store\
HTTP ADDRESS: I left this blank

TESTING SERVER
TESTING SERVER FOLDER: C:\wamp\www\store\
URL PREFIX: http;//localhost/store/

(I used http;// so the post wouldn't show a live link)

I thought these settings would be okay but I keep getting a pop up box telling me:

The site URL prefix [/store] for the testing server does not match the site URL prefix [] specified in HTTP Address for the site. This may cause pages using site relative links to display incorrectly at runtime. Proceed anyway?


If I add http;//mydomain.co.uk/store/ (my finished store url) in the HTTP Address field the above pop up disappears but I'm concerned this will effect the site locally as i'm working on it. I was advised to leave the HTTP Address field blank but I'm now worried this will effect my final uploaded store.

What should I do? Leave it blank or add the final store URL? or something else?
If anyone knows of any online video tutorials for setting up Prestashop, Wamp and Dreamweaver I would really appreciate it. Or if anyone can tell me what to do, that would be great too.

Sorry, something else too.

Should I use case-senitive link checking in dreamweaver?

I'm going to be downloading a few template themes to then merge into my own theme, could the case-senitive setting affect/damage the downloaded themes?

I'll be uploading to a linux server eventually.

Use xampp, it's a lot more convenient, wamp has a lot of mistakes.
