I have a feeling I'm not going to get an answer on this, but
this is driving me crazy. I'm trying to use the Components panel in
Dreamweaver MX 2004 (7.0.1, Mac OX 10.4.7). I have Coldfusion MX 7
Developer Edition installed on my computer. The RDS is working,
pages display fine in the browser, all is well, etc. Except for
this freaking Components panel. It lists off the four steps I need
to take, from creating a site to setting up RDS login. All steps
are properly checked. No Components listed (when I can in fact see
components exist using the Component Browser with the Coldfusion
Administrator). They exist in the site as a whole, as well as in
the specific site. I have a properly-created CFC in the folder I am
working in.
No Components are listed.
When I hit the Refresh button, I see
"----------------------------------------------------------------------
The packages and the CFCs within them cannot be listed. There
are
several reasons that this may occur.
1. The URL prefix (specified when you set up this Dreamweaver
site)
might be ill formed. Please check the URL prefux by using
Define Sites
on the Site menu.
2. The URL prefix might correspond to a website where
ColdFusion MX is
not currently running.
3. The URL prefix might correspond to a website that has no
Coldfusion
components. Press the plus button on this panel to create a
ColdFusion
component.
----------------------------------------------------------------------"
The URL is in fact valid. I am using
http://localhost:8500/ows/
(which works fine in the browser). I have tried
http://127.0.0.1:8500/ows/.
Again, fine in the browser. Not in dreamweaver. (ows is a folder
under the wwwroot of Coldfusion.
This is driving me insane as I have been kept up till the wee
hours banging my head against the wall.
I know this is a known issue: I have scoured the forums,
found others with this issue... but never a good answer. I've tried
setting up a Mapping to a particular folder in the CF Admin tool.
Nope. Tried getting rid of unnecessary components in case the names
were messing things up. Nope. Tested the site settings. Nope.
Testing the URL from within the site settings. Works fine.
Components panel? Not so much.
Clearly this is a known issue with Dreamweaver MX 2004... and
it looks like it probably is with Dreamweaver 8. Please, for the
love of all that is holy, point me in the right direction so I can
solve this problem and start using Dreamweaver's lovely Coldfusion
tools. Thank you!
