CF 8.0.1 RDS not working

I had CFMX 6.1 installed. I uninstalled it and then installed CF 8.0.1. I was able to add all my settings and get my application up and running.

I then installed the Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers (Europa), installed the CF8 Help JAR, CF801-Extensions-for-Eclipse.zip and CFEclipse. So far everything is working. However I can't get the debugging and RDS working.

On ColdFusion:

* RDS was enabled when I installed (even checked the web.xml file and the settings are there and uncommented)
* Left the debugger port to the default of 5005

In Eclipse:

* I go to the RDS settings in the Window > Preferences and choose "Test Connection" it gives me an error saying it's unable to connect.

I then open my browser (with ColdFusion running on my computer) and type in 127.0.0.1:8500 and the browser states it is unable to connect.

Help?

    Nevermind, I figured it out. The port value of 8500 that was the default value of "localhost" in the RDS setting in Eclipse should instead be 80. Once I changed it I was able to connect.

    Ugh...always the simple things that we overlook
