Before you begin

You must set up your Dreamweaver work environment for application
development before you can complete this tutorial. For setup information,

system administrator.

Appendix E, "Setup for Sample ASP Site," on page 269
Appendix F, "Setup for Sample JSP Site," on page 285
Appendix G, "Setup for Sample PHP Site," on page 301
These setup chapters teach you how to complete the following tasks:
Configure your system.
Configure Dreamweaver to work with your chosen application server.
Define a connection to the database.
You can't complete this tutorial until you've completed those tasks.
The screen shots in this tutorial show Macromedia ColdFusion dialog

of the server models that Dreamweaver supports.
