ColdFusion Administrator

[jjrme]

I am unable to browse to any database file. I recently installed MX7. The thing is set up as its own server.
why do I get the following error? "IO error on server communication"

[Mike Greider]

Do you have a JRE installed? I could easily be mistaken, but I think those errors come because the administrator is using a Java call and Java was not found on the system.

I'm having the same error as well. I installed CFMX7 with JRUN. I receive the
Server Error: IO error on server communication error any time i try to browse
the directory structure.

I have the same setup on our development box and it's working fine. The only
difference is that I did installed RDS on development, and not on this new
setup. I followed the instructions to enable RDS via the links below (Article
17276). but no luck. Has anyone come up with a resolution to this issue?

Same problem on my RedHat Enterprise 3 box with CFMX7.

Trying to update per instructions at
[url]http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=fd71533[/url]

I click system info and update file, and when I try to browse the filesystem
to load the hot fix file (In /tmp/chf700002.jar) I get Server Error - IO error
on server communication and an "OK" button. I click OK, the warning goes away,
and it just sits there. Never gives me a file listing. It's not a firewall
thing since I turned off iptables and it did the same thing.

The application log says


"Error","jrpp-45","06/22/05","14:34:34",,"File not found: /CFIDE/main/ide.cfm
The specific sequence of files included or processed is:
/data/web/CFIDE/main/ide.cfm "

The directory /data/web/CFIDE/main does not exist, and he file ide.cfm is
nowhere on the system. Did I miss a step during the install?

I have the same problem, followed the same steps in the articles, and was not successful.

Has anyone found a solution to this issue?

I had posted this information on another post and then I was able to find a
solution for my situation. I backed up my WEB-INF/web.xml document and made
changes to it, see below. Please note: The document references a RDSServlet
path to a file that is non-existent but that did not matter. Once the code
fired, the browse button worked. I hope this helps some of you.

Answer
I found something that worked for me. I also tried this on another person's
machine and it worked for them.

I changed the "Begin RDS and End RDS" lines around the RDSServlet. (The code
was currently "commented out" BETWEEN "Begin RDS" and "end RDS".)

I added the closing "-->" after "begin RDS" line and add the beginning "<!--"
before the "end RDS" line. This would allow the code in between the coments to
fire. (see code below).

1) backup the WEB-INF/web.xml document
2) Change the web.xml document and save the document
3) Close both dreamweaver and coldfusion if opened
4) Restart the "Coldfusion MX 7 Application Server" service (control panel,
administrator tools, services)
5) re-opened "CF Admin" and it worked

<!-- begin RDS -->
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>RDSServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/CFIDE/main/ide.cfm</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<!-- end RDS -->

I tried braswel's suggestion on 6/24. No joy. Other suggestions?

[oumedical]

I found that there's TWO chunks of code involving the RDSServlet that need
"un-commenting" in web.xml:
the one mentioned in this thread as well as the following:


<!-- begin RDS -->
<servlet id="macromedia_servlet_8789">
<servlet-name>RDSServlet</servlet-name>
<display-name>RDS Servlet</display-name>
<servlet-class>coldfusion.bootstrap.BootstrapServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param id="InitParam_103401311065856789">
<param-name>servlet.class</param-name>
<param-value>coldfusion.rds.RdsFrontEndServlet</param-value>
</init-param>
</servlet>
<!-- end RDS -->

Uncommenting ALL references (there are two) to "RDSServlet" in web.xml worked for me.
