Cannot Complete CF Setup in Dreamweaver
Newbie needing help please.
Following the ColdFusion MX 7 Getting Started tutorial, from the Studio 8 package (so this is Developer version, if that makes a difference) I get stuck when I am instructed to click on the RDS log-in link in the Dreamweaver Database Panel, after testing the site's server. I get the error "The server name or address could not be resolved. Possible reasons: 1. The URL specified for the site's testing server is incorrect: http://127.0.0.1:8500/CFIDE/gettingstarted/tutorial/ 2. The testing server may be incorrectly configured (for example ColdFusion may not be running)." Server test says it is OK. I checked to see if jrun.exe is running, I am assuming that is at least one way to see if CF is running, and it is. I can log into CF Administrator and have established an password for RDS on-line, and I was able to add cftutorial.mdb while in the administrator. I am running WinXP.
I have been able to go on in the tutorial to use the cftutorial.mdb in the sample index.cfm, but unless I am able to log in, I am unable to view anything in the Dreamweaver Database Panel. Not sure yet what other problems that may pose in the future. Don't know why the Developer version of CF is not covered in the tutorial or why it and not a licensed version was included in Studio. Sure seems they have made this rather difficult and time consuming. But whatever help and advice can be offered is greatly appreciated.
