Ok, Seems Onno pointed me in the right direction earlier :)
I now have my first MySql database setup with one table (CD Library), two fields (cdartist_ID and cdtitle_ID) and three records (Alex Lloyd, Augie March, Amos - Tori). Given that this is my first time with PHP/Apache/MySql, I'm attempting what I hope's the relatively simple task of a catalogue of my CDs which I can put up on my site. However. The database seems to be working swimmingly, there's just the three records at the moment, and I'm presently trying to get Dreamweaver to connect to the database. On filling out all the details in Dreamweaver I've been getting the message "There is no testing server running on the server machine". There's currently no password set for the root user, although I've managed to set up a separate secure user with privileges limited to Select, Update, Insert and Delete. Just hoping someone can point me in the direction of where I should be looking for problems? Cheers, Callum (For reference, I'm now working through the second half of the Macworld tutorial which can be found in the December 2002 issue pg 66-68. Part one, which covers the setup of Apache, MySql and PHP is in the November 2002 issue pg 60-65)
