Eclipse RDS Problems
Has anyone else run across this? I am 99% certain that I have RDS enabled on one of our development boxes, It shows up in the administrator, I can connect to it through dreamweaver, but no matter what I try when trying to connect to it through eclipse I always get "Unable to contact RDS Server 'xxxxxx'". Not sure what im doing wrong, ive tried the computer name as well as the IP address, as well as several different ports that have the CFIDE mapping on the box with no avail. I know its not a password issue because thats a different message. Any ideas anyone?

Eclipse will not work if you need to use the hostname to access the RDS (CFIDE) URL - try with http://x.y.b.d/CFIDE/administrator in your web browser. Other than that, you can use netstat to see what port CF is listening on, just to double check. And of, course, you must be running CF 7.0.2.

What version of eclipse are you using? The rds features will not work with the current version of eclipse (3.2) but will work fine on 3.1.

Ove tried using the hostname and the ip address and neither work. I'll try the netstat thing though, thanks tom. Dan, ive tried this on 3.1 and 3.2. I have it working locally on 3.2 as well by the way, but no dice with either in the case of this one server.

Ryan, How did you get RDS working on 3.1?

I got it working for me by uncommenting RDS in the XML file ... \CFusionMX7\wwwroot\WEB-INF\web.xml. Cheers!
