Dreamweaver RDS setup with Coldfusion. How to do RDSMapping in my web.xml file???

[jerome281]

I am not able to access my server through RDS and would be so very grateful for
any assistance.

I am running ColdFusion MX Developer Edition on my PC and am using the
built-in web server on port 8500. I have a datasource called "cheese" setup
through the ColdFusion administrator. My website is in a folder called
"pickacheese" in my root web folder. When I access my site through my browser
at [url]http://localhost:8500/pickacheese[/url] everything works perfectly fine. The
server is loading the page and pulling the appropriate data from the database.

I'd like to be able to link up my datasources through Dreamweaver. When I
enter in the information in the form about the testing server, I select
"ColdFusion" as the server, "Local/Network" as the access,
"C:\CFusionMX\wwwroot\pickacheese\" as the testing server folder, and
[url]http://localhost:8500/pickacheese/[/url] as the URL prefix. As a testing server,
things seem to work fine. However, when I attempt to configure my RDS login, I
receive the following error:

The server name or address could not be resolved.
Possible reasons:
1. The URL specified for the site's testing server may be incorrect:
[url]http://localhost:8500/pickacheese[/url]
2. The testing server may be incorrectly configured (for example, ColdFusion
may not be running).

I have played around with this for several days and I can't figure this out.
Changing the web server to port 80 and eliminating the additional port
specification did not seem to help. I read somewhere that I need to to do the
RDS mapping in my web.xml file, but I have any idea what I supose to change...

Thank you SO MUCH for any HELP!!!!

When you stated "when I attempt to configure my RDS login" I'm not sure exactly if you meant in the CF Administrator or in Dreamweaver?

In any case I had a similar problem and resolved it in IIS by setting Athentication of the /CFIDE folder to "anonymous access".
