HomeSite and RDS Connection

Question

I have been using HomeSite for years and connecting to my
server using RDS. I woke this morning to find that I could no
longer connect to my server. When I try I receive a 'HTTP Error
404. I think something changed on my server last night as there
were other strange things going on today. I seem to remember having
to make some kind of server adjustment two years agoa to get RDS to
work. Does anyone have any ideas on why I am getting this error and
how to resolve it?

We've resolved this issue so I thought I would post the solution for others that may experience this in the future.

The problem was in the web.xml file which had the following location on my server:

C:\CFusionMX7\wwwroot\WEB-INF\web.xml

In that file there are two sections that nee to be active for RDS to work properly. These sections are clearly identified as RDS sections. Evidentally the default file from the installation has these commented out which caused the HTTP Error 404 I was receiving.

In our situation the default file had been restored with these two sections commented out, consequently RDS would not work properly.
