I have a remote cf8. I have patched the zip file that was required. CF Builder is still giving me this error message:

[Pete-Server], Error, 07/19 at 12:04:31, The connection to the remote JNDI server on host Pete-SERVER at port 2930 has failed (as have all backup hosts listed, if any) - please verify that the server is running and the NamingService is available

[Pete-Server], Error, 07/19 at 12:07:49, No RDS Server Exist
[Pete-Server], (07/19 at 12:07:49): , Unable to connect to server. Using cached server settings
[Pete-Server], Error, 07/19 at 12:07:49, No RDS Server Exist

My port is: 80

Any guides on this?

Thank you,

I originally posted to Bahkti's blog post. I am leeching onto this thread for additional guidance as I still can't figure out the solution.

After I set up the remote server within CF Builder, it tries to establish a connection, and then I get this

Unable to execute the server command:null
Unable to execute the server command:null
Unable to execute the server command:null
[Staging], (08/05 at 07:34:58): Server is available. Getting server settings from Server

From here on, the status remains "Unknown" permanently.

I ran through the steps in the official documentation, and that's when I first started seeing problems. I then ran through Bahkti's instructions (much better btw!), but the problem did not get resolved. I even recreated the server configuration from scratch a few times to no avail.

Bahkti recommended I run adminstart.bat from within the console instead of double clicking on it. I did, and the screenshot is attached. I would've copied and pasted the results, but it's a lot of code.

CF Builder is installed on a Mac running OS 10.5.7. The remote server is running Windows Server 2008 with a licensed, standalone version of ColdFusion 8. It is our team's inhouse testing server, not production.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Jose, while you try to resolve matters, can I ask a question: what features of the remote server setup are you seeking? For instance, do you really want to be able to start/stop the server from within CBuilder? Are there other features you're looking forward to? If perhaps any of them are really features based on the RDS functionality, just note that you can configure RDS setup without the remote server admin stuff.

I realize this may seem a bit heretical, but it's true and worth noting. I see a lot of people fighting with the remote admin config, but maybe they really don't need it. I'm not denying there are some benefits. I'm just suggesting that someone having a problem may just want to check if what they want would be gained via simply doing RDS configuration instead (which you can do either while working in the rds-based views or via window>preferences>adobe>rds configuration.)

As a further testament to this point, note that the CFB team blog has an entry on the very fact that if you were to setup a managed server AFTER having created RDS servers instead, you can use the latter to create the former:

http://blogs.adobe.com/cfbuilder/2009/08/importing_rds_server.html

Again, not trying to dismiss or derail your effort to solve the problem. Just pointing out this thought.

In addition, if you ARE interested in using RDS-based stuff (you may not), it's one more useful diagnostic if you wouldl confirm if the RDS setup works, separate from the managed server setup.

Hope that's helpful.

Hey,

First of all i'm not Jose :).

Second, i was kind of disappointed with cf builder for many reasons. What RDS in cf builder does, is exactly same feature "other" software can do it more precisely. I notcied that we can import settings of RDS to Configured Server, but it did not work. There were quite few features i had high expectation; in fact it was a big let down. Nothing against the builder, but i hope Adobe can get things going by Version 4 or something.

I have read the documentation, the blog entry(s), and some other tips, nothing has solved the issue.

I have ended up wasting my time until final release.

Take care,

Your server does not seem to be running on 2930. Please specify the JNDI port of the admin server on which the Remote CF is running(For e.g.: For Standalone server, admin is running on 2910)
