RDS

[Aiops]

We are running W2K3 server, CFMX 6 and SQL2K. When I try to disable RDS (as
explained in CF Technote: Disabling/enabling ColdFusion RDS on production
servers), our website becomes unreachable and we get the following error: "JRun
Servlet Error" "500 There is no web application configured to service your
request". Is there anything else that needs to be modified to disable the RDS?
Thanks in advance!!

That's all you should need to do. I would make a backup copy of the web.xml
file before editing it because it's easy to cause problems with the server if
not edited properly. Also I would edit the file using either notepad or
wordpad as some programs might add special charcters to the file that will also
cause problems.

We are running CFMX7 on a Windows 2003 server. To date I have been
unsuccessful at enabling RDS. I have followed the instructions to enable RDS
by uncommenting the servlet-mapping code found in web.xml. I also restarted
all of the CF services as instructed after that file was saved. What happens
is that I still get that "IO Error On Server Communication" error.

Note that I run the developer version of CFMX7 on my PC and when I uncomment
that very same code in the local copy of web.xml the java applet works and I am
able to browse the local disks. Anyone have trouble shooting tips for my
server problem? Thanks!

Make sure that both the servelet definition and servlet-mapping are uncommented
in the web.xml file:

<!-- 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 -->

<!-- begin RDS -->
<servlet-mapping id="macromedia_mapping_9">
<servlet-name>RDSServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/CFIDE/main/ide.cfm</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<!-- end RDS -->
