RDS connection fails

Hey,

I have setup ColdFusion and ColdFusion Builder on a development workstation.  Now I'm trying to get debugging to work however I'm having heck of a time trying to get RDS to work.  I have made sure the RDS is not commented out in web.xml and retyped the RDS password.  I'm using the following:


Host Name: localhost
Port: 8500
Context Root: C:\ColdFusion8\wwwroot\
Username:
Password: ***

Any words of wisdom or pointers in the right direction?

Hi,

Is your server running?

Can you access the Admin page successfully?

Did you try adding it through the server manager?

Thanks for replying Bhakti!

You have pointed me to the right direction.  I'm new to ColdFusion (transferring from PHP and Java) and going to Server Manager page was the answer.  However that opened another box of warms, since I'm running IIS 5.1 which apparently doesn't mix well with RDS.  It a good excuse to change to server 2003 though.

Thanks again.

hi,

   So you mean IIS and RDS has some issue? because currently I have a problem on RDS and IIS.

And there is an error (A connection to the RDS Server could not be established because the webserver was unreachable).

Even if I enable the RDS in Coldfusion. And use Port 80.

Please advise..

thanks.
