Login wizard - CF9 server - "Coldfusion not is not running on the remote site" - YES it is!

I use Dreamweaver to upkeep sites for several friends and clients. When I use the login wizzard on a server with CF8, it works fine. If I use it on a server with CF9, I can't get past the *Coldfusion not is not running on the remote site* error. Yes it is running. I've tried connecting using FTP, RDS, directly over the network - you name it. Same error.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Unfortunately, I am having the exact same problem as you. My development environment is on a server and I have no problems connecting to it databases, bindings, etc. But the coldfusion login wizard gives me an immediate error after I enter in a username and password and click on "next". Quite frustrating. It's like it isn't even connecting at all.

I'm using Dreamweaver CS4 and Coldfusion 9 Standard that is running on an Apache server which is on a Linus server. It is a virtual server, if anyone thinks that could be related at all.

If anyone knew what connection type and port Dreamweaver was using when running the coldfusion login wizard that could be helpful to find out if it is being blocked or not.

Hi Rick

If you are trying to RDS log in to a remote server the host may have disabled this service... Most do, and should. Allowing remote RDS is a potential security risk. Check with your host to see if this is the case. If it is, it is always better to duplicate your host environment locally, that is be running CF9, and the database, be that MySQL, SQL Server, Access, or whatever locally and do all you development and testing there, then just upload the files when ready.

Hope this helps.

They have RDS enabled - I can connect with it no problem.

I just can't get the login wizard to run. I tired it on a couple of ColdFusion 8 installations - no problem. Tried it on two CF9 installs - won't work. The CF8's are connecting via FTP, same for the CF 9's. CF8 works, CF9 does not. I tried the other connection methods as a test. Work on 8, not on 9.

I'm beginning to think that CF9 has a problem with the login wizard.
