Is there anybody out there who can give me a simple but detailed understanding of how exactly RDS works and what I need to do to configure it properly?
I am trying to set up a new project in my Dreamweaver 8. I usually use my locally running developer edition of ColdFusion and have no trouble with RDS for these sites. For this new site however, I am working on a remote development server running ColdFusion. I can not for the life of me figure out the proper combination to enable RDS with this remote server. As best as *I* can tell, the remote serer has RDS enabled, the check box is selected in the CF Administrator. I have tried every combination I can think of to define the 'root' path in the Dreamweaver site panel to connect to this site. The site configures fine for "Site", "Document type" and "Testing Server", but when I try to provide the "RDS login" I get the dreaded *"The server name or address could not be resolved. Possible reasons: ..."* error. Some basics of what I am trying to do. Appdev is a remote UNIX/Apache server, I access it from my windows workstation file explorer with the UNC "\\appdev\". This is also the website domain name, so the CF administrator is "http://appdev/cfide/administrator/";. There are many applications that branch off this root, the one I am trying to set up a project for is in this unwieldy location. "\\appdev\cfdocs\apps\puredit\puredit\". Based on this I currently have the following settings in my Dreamweaver Site Definition. Local Info Local Root Folder: C:\Development\PUREdit\ HTTP Address: http://appdev/cfdocs/apps/puredit/puredit/ Remote Info Access: Local/Network Remote Folder: \\appdev\cfdocs\apps\puredit\puredit\ Testing Server Server model: ColdFusion Access: Local/Network Testing server folder: \\appdev\cfdocs\apps\puredit\puredit\ This configuration works correctly for accessing, editing, uploading and previewing the files. But I can not use RDS to explore the data sources, no matter what permutation of the above settings I have tried. TIA Ian Skinner P.S. Unfortunately for all you Eclipse fans out there, that is not an available option at this point in time and space. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| ColdFusion is delivering applications solutions at at top companies around the world in government.
