I have ColdFusion 11 U4 running as a Amazon EC2 instance from Adobe's Windows AMI. I am trying to connect via ColdFusion Builder 3 (mine) and ColdFusion Studio (client's). At first I got the dreaded 404 error, so I added in /CFIDE/main/ide.cfm as an empty file so IIS would find it. Now the error has changed to: 'Unable to contact the RDS Server... For input string: ""' in CF Builder. In ColdFusion Studio the error was "server operation failure". After debugging was turned off it changed to "unhandled error, use logging enabled clients if possible." I had HTTP filter restrictions in place for CFIDE directory stuff, but removed all that, no change. I have also tried all three options for user authentication for RDS. I also tried it on my local machine but after I resolved the 404 error I get a 405 error for method not allowed. So that's no help either. Here's the settings: Description: {client name} Host name: {IP Address} Port Number: 80 Timeout: 30s Context Root: empty User Name: {user name} Password: {password} Thanks in advance.
