whats wrong with my RDS connection??

Report · Aug 06, 2008

This is my 1st website. Im working with DW CS3 + MySql 5 + Cold Fusion 8 + Windows Vista
i miss the check mark beside "specify the RDS login for your ColdFusion Server". and the following msg appears when i click .
"The server name or address couldn't be resolved. Possible reasons:
1- The URL specified for site testing server may be incorrect.
2- Testing server may be incorrectly configured".

Ive set the following options for my site:
local root folder: c:\ColdFusion8\wwwroot\Mysite
http address: http://localhost:8500/mysite

Access: Local/Network
remote folder: c:\ColdFusion\wwwroot\Mysite

Server Model: Cold Fusion
Access: Local/Network
Testing folder: c:\ColdFusion\wwwroot\Mysite
URL: http://localhost:8500/Mysite

So, where is my mistake ??

Check your paths. In the first example, you list c:\coldfusion8, but the
next two list c:\coldfusion

Also, normally the local and remote locations are different.

Hello,

I had the same problem many times, but I finally solved it!!
The problem is caused by the fact that you did not enable RDS during the initial installation of Coldfusion. As a result some lines of code in the web.xml file are commented out which prevent RDS to initialise properly.

You'll find the procedure to follow in the following knowledge base article.

I hope this will help you!
