RDS error

I'm trying to set up an RDS connection to a remote server and am getting an error message that says 'Remote Server Operation Failed - HTTP Error:404' Any clues on resolving this? Sebastian

Any firewalls between you and the remote server?  That's the first place to look. -Novak > I'm trying to set up an RDS connection to a remote server and am getting an > error message that says 'Remote Server Operation Failed - HTTP Error:404' > > Any clues on resolving this? > > Sebastian

Are you able to ping the server?  Are you table to telnet to port 80? If yes to both of the above, make sure RDS is turned on in CFMX and double check all your RDS settings in DreamWeaver. -Novak ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more ----- to ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more ----- getting > > an > >> error message that says 'Remote Server Operation Failed - HTTP Error:404' ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

Well, here is another clue: The browser is launched and the URL says: http://www.siddhayogachicago.org/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm I don't know where that is coming from. I am using HomeSite+. Do I need to put anything in the Remote Development mapping for this remote server for 'HomeSite+Path' 'Server Path' and 'Browser Path' as I did for the localhost?

Depending on what web server and what version of CF you're using, the problem could be as simple as a missing file. If you install CF 5 on Apache, for example, it doesn't create the necessary stub file for RDS, the URL for which is /CFIDE/Main/ide.cfm. If that URL isn't valid on your server, you can just create an empty file there, name it ide.cfm, and you'll be all set. If you're using CF 5 on IIS, this problem can occur if the "check that file exists" option is enabled for the CF ISAPI extension in the IIS MMC. In this case, you can clear the option (which will give you better performance, but which may be undesirable for other reasons), or you can create the file as described above.
