ColdFusion, RDS and Dreamweaver

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

P.S. Unfortunately for all you Eclipse fans out there, that
is not an
available option at this point in time and space.

The answer for me was to uncomment the RDS servlet sections
in the
web.xml file on the server.

ColdFusion RDS and Flex Builder 2

Hello everyone.
I try for 3 days to get this running but I keep getting the
same error:
"The RDS server was successfully contacted, but your security
credentials were invalid."
The documentation says that if you are using ColdFusion MX
7.0 or earlier, you would get this message.
But I am using the ColdFusion MX 7.0.2 Developer Edition,
Running under IIS6 on a Windows 2003 server Standard.
Please note that the ColdFusion and Flex Builder 2 are not on
the same computer and it is not possible for me to install CF on
the local computer.
If I try the Dreamweaver RDS it works fine. So I know there
is nothing wrong with the password, the Host Name or port 80.
Can someone please help me?
Thanks.
Sam

anyone??

ColdFusion RDS and ISA 2004

I can't get this to work to save my life...not that I'm an
ISA expert...but it's pretty straight forward.
I can't get folders to be returned to CF Studio or
Dreamweaver from a server with ISA 2004 on it. It's publishing
pages perfectly and I have the LAN connection set up...but it's at
a datacenter and I have to rds to work on the pages.
Has anyone had a problem with this before or know (even
better) of how RDS fits into ISA?
Thanks a lot,
Chris

The answer for me was to uncomment the RDS servlet sections

RDS and dreamweaver

Have enabled RDS in CF administrator but when connected thru
DW8 the connection appears to be fine and the local files a put to
the remote location. But then the files are removed after a few
seconds. So it appears that the RDS connection is failing but no
error messages...
Any information to rectify this would be appreciated

Hi
I'm very new to CF. but I just finished the tutorial on
setting up RDS
from what I remember, if you are useing the CF builtin server
make sure your path is localhost and port number 8500
and your files in the CF www folder if your useing IIS then
leave the port (8500) empty and the prog will default to port 80
for iis if this is the case place you files in the
c;/inetpub/wwwroot folder.
I may be way of track but I thought I may have been able to
help.
Best of luck

Accessing ODBC Database through CF and Dreamweaver

Ok, so I have a db connection set up under the ODBC administrator. It is using Oracle 8 or 9 (can't remember) but it is what I use so that I can connect to it through my company's Accounting Software. I want to query it using Dreamweaver and make a CF page of the query.
Here's what I've done:
In CF Admin, I created the datasource, chose ODBC, chose the Server name and username and pw and it connected successfully.
Went into Dreamweaver, added the datasource and Tested Connection--it connected successfully. I can even expand the Tables tree and see the tables.
Now, when I create a query in a new CF document, I get an error when the query runs (like if I'm editing the Record Set and I click Test, it gives me an error).
Here is the error:
MM_ERROR:-1:[Macromedia][SequeLink JDBC Driver][ODBC Socket][Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-00942: table or view does not exist

Do you know what is going wrong? Also, when I edit the recordset, there is a place for username and pw but if I entere it there, it shows up plaintext in the cfm code which doesn't sound like a good idea. Do I have to enter it there? Even if I do, I still get the error.

Yes, if you use the Oracle driver, you can create the Oracle dataconnection directly in ColdFusion by providing it the SID, Server, Port, Username and Password for the oracle database to which you are trying to connect.
Using this dirver means you don't need to set up any ODBC or Oracle Listner clients on the maching for ColdFusion. Other software that maybe using those connections is a different matter of course.
ODBC is a ODBC to JDBC bridge that allows ColdFusion to connect to any ODBC connectors you have set up on the Microsoft ODBC pannel.
But you do need a function Data Source configured in the ColdFusion administrator, whether it be an Oracle, ODBC, or "Other" JDBC driver.

Windows XP SP3 and Dreamweaver 8.0.2 - "Error"

Windows XP SP3 and Dreamweaver 8.0.2
I am recently receiving this error message whenever I open a file -
"The following translators were not loaded due to errors:
ColdFusion.htm: has configuration information that is invalid.

Really big problem;
I have lost ALL my disc so I can not do a clean install of anything!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try clearing your program cache...

If that doesn't help, try restoring the preferences...

ColdFusion V8 and JavaRunTime version ?

I had ColdFusion V7 installed, working well,
I could declare new Datasources and browse directories through
the Java Applet.
Now , after ColdFusion V8 installed,
I cannot browse anymore directories to select my MDB files
for an access datasource.
I have the error message : Server Error , IO error on server communication.
Is this a problem with JRE environment/version ?
I have installed the lastest version : Java(TM) 6 update 24
Ans I still have the same error (even after rebooting)
I am on Windows XP pro.
Thanks for an urgent help.
No information found about JRE and Coldfusion found on Adobe website.
Or is it an other problem than JRE compatibility with CF ?
Thanks, Pierre.

Than for youranswer,
Everything is solved now.
I do not care doing it manually or with widget assistance,
I just want a good information (documenttaion) from ADOBE
on that part, which is not the case.
It Is not acceptable spending hours and hours on how make RDS and
the Datadource javaapplet working.
I am sure that part of pepople should through out ColdFusion because of these type of things.
But I LOVE Coldfusion, using it since 2003.
I leave in France, in France ColdFusion is almost not used at all.
Because the licence price, so Host company do not offer these option.
I am fighting for year to let ColdFuion being better know and used.
So when I failed on such smal handicaps, I do not feel comfortable to
defend ColdFusion.
Thanks to all. Anything you can do for ColdFusion will be great.

Change color of ColdFusion comments in Dreamweaver CC 2014

Hi All,
I've recently discovered Sublime Text 2, and really like their code coloring theme. 90% of my work still needs to be done in Dreamweaver. I was able to find a Colors.xml file I could use, that got it very close to looking like sublime text. The only real problem are ColdFusion comments.
I changed this line in the XML C:\Users\{me}\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CC 2014\en_US\Configuration\
<syntaxColor id="CodeColor_CFCommentText" text="#585835" bgcolor="#434343" /> from the original ffff99 bright yellow background, but after restarting Dreamweaver, the ColdFusion comments are still lite color text on this bright yellow background. Horrible.
It seems Dreamweaver CC 2014 removed a lot of ColdFusion options, sad. Many of us still use it for Front-End work, while ColdFusion Builder works better for back-end.
I really hope there is a way to get a dark color theme into Dreamweaver for ColdFusion.
Any suggestions?

What Adobe has done is blindly pull the rug right out from under our feet. Dreamweaver has been the one and only application I and thousands of others have used to code, design and FTP websites for years. Some of us have been using Dreamweaver as far back as when Allaire built it specifically to help ColdFusion developers. Dreamweaver offered ColdFusion tag support, a design view when needed, and an efficient way to FTP files.
It seems what Adobe is telling us now is that Dreamweaver is some how not the right application for developing ColdFusion websites, but oddly enough the correct one for PHP developers. The only reason I can see that Adobe stripped the support for ColdFusion within Dreamweaver is to sell us CF Builder... which is suspiciously missing from any Creative Cloud subscription. Otherwise there was no real reason to pull support from ColdFusion within Dreamweaver. It is simple greed.
The reality for a lot of developers is that we can barely pay the Creative Cloud subscription fees every month, much less purchase a whole new program just because Adobe has forced our hand. Adobe needs to reestablish ColdFusion support in Dreamweaver or, based on what I have read in many forums, they will be losing a lot of customers. There are a lot of CF developers looking for an alternative to all of Adobe's products because of this "slap in the face" and I am sure there are companies out their already looking at this enormous opportunity.
I, for one, am looking at other programs to replace everything I use from Adobe because I feel betrayed. Adobe may think they own the market but I am afraid they are going to learn the hard way. If you try to force the growth of the bottom line at the expense of ignoring your customers, you will fail. If you put your customers needs first, the bottom line will follow. Has history taught you nothing?

Subversion and Dreamweaver CS5

my team and i are very confused with understanding how this architecture and integration works. from reading various websites it seems we need to setup subversion and create a repository. my immediate question is where do we install and create the repository? on all our local machines or on the DEV server that hosts our website running on Apache 2.2?
Also... today we all work in Dreamweaver CS5. each one of us created a site in Dreamweaver on all our local machines pointing to a mapped network directory we each setup on all our machines... and the mapped network drive (lets say Z:\) is our DEV machine with all our coldfusion files that we edit through DreamWeaver remotely.
i'm trying to understand the architecture we need to setup and if we need to make changes to the way we currently have our sites defined. there is a good link on Adobe TV showing how to compare and check in/out files with subversion and what the icons mean here http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-dreamweaver-cs5/working-with-subversion-and-dreamweaver/
thats great but i see the presenter is working off a local C:\ drive. where does our mapped network Z:\ drive as mentioned above come into play?

How do you connect to SVN? could you show a better description on that, not just your icons? I'm getting an error when trying to commit files. This video didn't really go over anything to help anyone out...

Why isn't ColdFusion supported in Dreamweaver CC anymore?

For some reason Adobe is no longer supporting ColdFusion in the new Dreamweaver CC 2014. CF comments are no longer are highlighted in the code view. In fact CF is not listed among applications, although PHP is. Is Adobe planning on abandoning CF?

Ben Forta wrote a post on his blog last year about the changes to Coldfusion and Dreamweaver.
You can see it here - http://forta.com/blog/index.cfm/2013/6/30/On-Dreamweaver-CC-And-ColdFusion
The main reason seems to be Coldfusion Builder and moving Dreamweaver to do the "client side" aspect of development.

Getting started with CF10 and Dreamweaver

I'm trying to get some HS students started on CF10 and Dreamweaver (used together). Back in the day, Macromedia had an awesome little tutorial that showed how to get everything all set up and program a simple web app. Can anyone point me to a similar tutorial for CF10 and Dreamweaver. I've tried to get started but seem to get errors on every step (for example it won't let me use an Access database). My preference is to use Dreamweaver to write a lot of the code (initially).
Thanks for any help people can provide,
Ben

Missing ColdFusion Support in Dreamweaver

I can't say it enough and will continue to post until someone at Adobe listens.
What Adobe has done is blindly pull the rug right out from under our feet by deprecating support for ColdFusion in Dreamweaver. Dreamweaver has been the one and only application I and thousands of others have used to code, design and FTP websites for years. Some of us have been using Dreamweaver as far back as when Allaire built it specifically to help ColdFusion developers. Dreamweaver offered ColdFusion tag support, a design view when needed, and an efficient way to FTP files.
It seems what Adobe is telling us now is that Dreamweaver is somehow not the right application for developing ColdFusion websites, but oddly enough the correct one for PHP developers. The only reason I can see that Adobe stripped the support for ColdFusion within Dreamweaver is to sell us CF Builder... which is suspiciously missing from any Creative Cloud subscription. Otherwise there was no real reason to pull support from ColdFusion within Dreamweaver.
What's more, it is going to take me and others weeks to learn a new program and that's time most of us don't have to spare. It's enough to keep up with the browser changes. I am a one man shop, as are many who used Dreamweaver, and every minute we use learning a new program instead of building websites is money lost. So Adobe is costing us money.
The reality for a lot of developers is that we can barely pay the Creative Cloud subscription fees every month, much less purchase a whole new program just because Adobe has forced our hand. I just don't understand why Adobe would drop support for ColdFusion within Dreamweaver when the program was working. It wasn't like the program was broken and the ColdFusion tag support was causing a problem with the program.
All Adobe has done is caused ill will towards their company and probably many developers to go out of business, at the least lose money when the economy is so tight. Thanks Adobe, for nothing.

You can, relatively easily, put the rug back in place. Since you're a CC Subscriber, you can move back to a previous version of DW through the Creative Cloud Desktop App...
Open the CC Desktop App
Click Apps tab
Scroll down to filters and versions
Click previous versions
Download and install an older version of DW
From there, use the older DWCS6 until you have the time and inclination to learn CF Builder or move to another non-Adobe application. There's no reason to sit and struggle with the new non-CF version of DW CC, blow billable hours and miss deadlines due to training.
As far as I've seen, there is no plan to bring any CF support back into DW. Adobe's plan is to move people to the perpetual license CF Builder instead.

Eclipse 3.5 (Galileo) + Coldfusion RDS Plugin

Hi,
Just tried to upgrade my Eclipse to 3.5 and install the coldfusion RDS plugin. I have been using an older version with no issues. When I point my new eclipse to the old workspace, I can test all of the saved RDS connections and the connect fine. However, when trying to use the rds filebrowser, Eclipse freezes up and eventually crashes.
Any Insight?
Thanks In Advance.

I, too, have Eclipse Galileo. My RDS Fileview didn't crash. It didn't work either. Whenever I attempted to open it, it just got stuck, displaying "Contacting Server...".
Here is how I convinced it to work.
1) Follow the menu Window => Show View => Other
2) Click on the + next to the Coldfusion group to expand it.
3) Click on RDS Fileview and press OK.
4) The RDS Fileview tab should appear, with the list of RDS servers in it. This assumes you did configure RDS. Did you? If you didn't, RDS Fileview wouldn't work.
My server, Localhost, appeared in the tab. When I click on the + next to it, expecting to see the tree of files, I instead see the message "Contacting Server...".
5) The workaround I found was to right-click on Localhost and then select Go Into. All the drives on the RDS server are then displayed, by letter.
6) When I click on the + next to C:\, expecting to see the files in the drive, I instead get the familiar message, Contacting Server...".
7) It is onlly when I right-click on C:\ and then select Go Home that I finally see the files in the RDS server.
Hope it helps.

ColdFusion RDS Plugin SSL Supported?

I've tried to configure the ColdFusion RDS plugin to connect
via an SSL secured port but this does not seem to work, even after
making sure the certificates for the site were in the trusted
certificate store.
Is this supported and I have something misconfigured or it
SSL support not included in the current version of the plugin?
If it is not supported, will a new version be available soon
that adds SSL support?
Thanks,
Brian
