Question

Configure CF Builder 2.1 for IIS

Hi Everyone,

I'm having some problems trying to configure CF Builder 2.1 for a local ISS server on Windows 7. When adding a server a receive the following error message:

[localhost]:Error(11/02 at 09:28:49) Unable to authenticate on RDS server using current security information.

This would seem as though my either my username/password for RDS are incorrent, however I've checked at everything seems to be ok.

My settings are as follows:

General Settings

Server Name: localhost

Description: N/A

Application Server: CF+Tomcat Bundle

Host Name: localhost

"Is local" radio button is selected

WebServer Port is 80

Local Server Settings

Server Home: c:/inetpub

Document Root: C:\inetpub\wwwroot

*I am unable to select a version of CF - the field is blanked out

Should I be disabling RDS? I am also installing for local dev so there is no need for it anyway.

I'm a newbie to CF so I'm pretty sure it's something simple I am doing wrong. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi,

I'd like to add that I removed the RDS password and now I am getting:

Error performing the server operation. Could not find path to jvm.config

Any help would be great. Would love to be able to do some code finally.

Thanks,

I’m afraid things sound possibly in too much of a mess to resolve by email.

If you may like some direct assistance (over the web, someone looking over your shoulder with you at your setup), I offer that sort of help, both for general CF server troubleshooting and for CFBuilder setup. In the case of CFBuilder, I realize some are reluctant to pay much (“it’s just an editor after all”), so I offer for that a “one problem fixed fee” approach, where I’ll work up to 2 hours to solve the problem (and help you understand the solution). For more, see www.carehart.org/consulting.

I appreciate that that may sound smarmy on a forum/list like this, where folks hope to find free help. I just find that nearly always, getting things like this working involves several moving parts, and trying to solve it by email is really painful for all concerned.

Hope that’s helpful.

Hi Charlie,

I seem to have worked this one out by uninstalling CF Builder and starting again. Unfortunately I'm not sure what I may have done wrong.

Not quite at the level where I think I need consulting just yet, but will keep it in mind for when things get a little more complex.

Thanks,
