Dreamweaver troubles

Here I'll list some problems I've had with Dreamweaver and my solutions, when found. Keep in mind I use Mac versions.

No table found

I was working on a database-driven PHP/MySQL page. At first I could work normally, but after a certain hour I couldn't access any tables from any database in Dreamweaver CS5.

I tried several troubleshooting methods, including restarting DW, restarting the computer, deleting the preferences files, deleting the Application Support folder, deleting go-between scripts on the server, and updating the scripts to match the new addresses Network Solutions assigned my databases without telling me. That last one I thought would be it. Nope, although I think it must have been *part* of the problem. While attempting to change site settings, I got a message that the test server was not responding, so I turned on Web Sharing on my Mac, which is the assigned Test Server for my site, and that fixed the problem, probably along with the MySQL server IP address update. DW, although it shouldn't have to, uses the Test Server for all sorts of behind-the-scenes actions, so you might find this hint useful:Keep the Test Server well oiled.
