CS3 Won't Show CFMX Datasources

[Guest]

I have a situation where new installs of Dreamweaver CS3 on both Win XP SP2 and Mac OSX 10.4 will not show Coldfusion MX 7.0.2 datasources in the Applications/Databases panel when connecting through RDS. I've confirmed that using DW8 on WinXP to the same test server will properly show the datasources. On the CS3 installs, 4 out of the 5 steps in the panel get checked off. The authentication to the RDS server passes OK.

I also tried moving the _mmServerScripts directory from the DW8 test site to the CS3 test site (both local and remote on server) and the CS3 versions will not see the datasources.

Any bindings defined in DW8 and saved to a page will show up - obvious that this would work because the code is in the .cfm file. However, the database panel for this .cfm page still shows no datasources.

The fact that both WinXP and Mac OS X versions of CS3 exhibit the same behaviour leads me to believe there is a fundemental flaw somewhere in the CS3 app code.

Anyone else seeing this behavior?

Anyone have a solution?

Yes, I have the same problem. At the case of CS3, I can't create the record set at all since DSN doen't appear at the DATABASE panel. However DW8 has no problem.
It should be done the same as DW8, I think.

Anyone figured out a fix for this?

Do you have index file on your site root folder like index.cfm, index.cfml, default.cfml and so on?
DW seems not to open index file automatically if your server directly open the root file.
In my case, I didn't create index.cfm on my root folder. However I did create the index.cfm, I could fix it.

create an index.cfm file (empty one OK) and datasources work. Why? I dont know but it done the trick.
