FYI it came down to the way the default web site on the web server was configured in IIS. It was not hooked up to a static IP and was using host header names in IIS.
I hooked up the default web site to a static IP and took out the host header name in IIS and now I can connect to the RDS on that server using the Eclipse plugin. I donât have the time to officially go through and figure out if this is repeatable. It might be the way we are using DNS also to resolve the computer name.... I donât know. Why Homesite and Dreamweaver worked it must be a difference in the way they resolve the computer name.... just a guess. Oh well if anyone else cannot connect they should check out the CF server itself and make sure you can connect with the computer name and IP address of the computer over port 80. -----Original Message----- From: Chad Gray [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 31, 2006 1:33 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: CFeclipse and RDS I can't get Eclipse to connect to our CF server with RDS. I copied the folder: com.adobe.rds.client_0.5.0.0043 To the plugins folder of eclipse and I enter all of our RDS information. Windows > Preferences > RDS Config I used port 80 since our installation uses IIS and the IP address of the server. I hit test connection and it asks for the RDS password I click ok, it asks for it again and says 'Unable to contact the RDS server.' With Homesite and Dreamweaver I can connect to the RDS server with the same settings. Any ideas on what I am missing? This is a super fresh install of Eclipse, CFEclipse and the SVN plugin.
