Dreamweaver 8 and CF 8 Setup with Database

[uzeruzer]

In Dreamweaver I'm trying to set it up to connect to my database but its not working.

I have CF8 and mysql 5.0x installed locally, and I have dreamweaver 8 installed. I also installed some Microsoft thing it required prior to installing CF8. In the CF admin I created a datasource called mysql5 with the MySQL 4/5 driver. It has a database called coldfusion that I created. I installed the CF8 extension update for dreamweaver 8.

In dreamweaver I have my site setup, document type and sites testing server. So when I go to the Application box and on the Databases tab it has 1, 2 and 3 checked. But 4 and 5 are not checked.

#4 is saying I need to Specify the RDS login information for CF server. When I click it gives me the following error message:

quote:

The server name or address could not be resolved.
Possible Reasons:
1. The URL specified for this site's testing server may be incorrect: http://127.0.0.1:8500/
2. The testing server my be incorrectly configured (for example, ColdFusion may not be running).

CF is running and http://127.0.0.1:8500/ is where it is setup up. I have no idea how to fix this.

when you were installing cf8, did you select to enable RDS and did you
specify RDS password? if not, i am afraid you will have to re-install
cf8 and enable RDS at setup time...

there is some technote on how to enable RDS via manually editing some
.xml file in cf, but it has never worked for me - i had to re-install
cf8 to fully enable RDS.

I did a search and found I needed to change the web.xml located in the ColdFusion8\wwwroot\web-inf directory

I did that and it didnt work, so I rebooted and sure enough, now it works. I guess rebooting is the key.

good for you! yes, rebooting is necessary (though, iirc, just restarting
cf service should have been enouhg) to make cf re-init the web.xml config.
sadly, even rebooting/restarting service did not work in my case before,
so i had to do a re-install.
