Question

RDS Error on windows

Hi,

I have just played with RDS on my Mac and been very impressed with it actually working (i currently use Homesite and been trying to make the move for years with no success as problems like the following keep popping up).

So i thought id give it a go on my PC, it doesnt however work on the PC version.

Whenever i attempt to connect be it by clicking the test button or through the RDS view i get the following error.

Unable to contact the RDS server "XXXX". This can be caused by incorrect configuration on either the client or the server.


Please verify your connection details below or check your server documentation on how to enable RDS for your server


The HTTP request to talk to your server returned with the following message:

For input string: "<html>"



<!--#BeginTemplate "templatedvt" -->



<head>


<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-gb">


<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">


<!--#BeginEditable "doctitle" -->


<title> Error"


The above error suggests that my config is wrong however i have checked, rechecked and re re checked and they are identical to those used on the Mac.

I thought it may be because of my Proxy Exception settings but these seem to have been selected correctly (minus my localhost not being checked)

Any ideas would be great

Thanks

Ben

It looks to me like something in your web server config is intercepting the RDS request and sending back a DreamWeaver template rather than just leaving RDS be.

Is that your sitewide 404 handler or something it's spitting out there?

Hi Adam,

Thanks for replying, I havent a clue, i have never seen anything like it

before, i dont even use dreamweaver so not sure how that is happening.

I had absolutely no problem with the Mac, all worked very well.

Dont think its my sitewide 404 (i just have the normal one).

Cheers

Ben

Well that's DreamWeaver-specific code in there, so it's being served up somehow.  I guess you need to go find it, and reverse engineer why it's being served up!
