Answer 1

I got this off of the adobe help and the RDS was disabled,
once i enabled it, it worked.
To enable ColdFusion Remote Development Services on
ColdFusion MX and higher:
To enable the RDSServlet mapping:
1. Back up the web.xml file.
This file is in the cf_root\wwwroot\WEB-INF directory on
Windows
and in the cf_root/wwwroot/WEB-INF directory on UNIX. In the
J2EE configuration, this file is undercf_root/WEB-INF.
2. Open the original web.xml file for editing.
3. Uncomment the RDSServlet mapping, as shown in the
following example:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>RDSServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/CFIDE/main/ide.cfm</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
4. Make sure the RDSServlet definition is also uncommented
as follows:
<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>
5. Save the file.
6. Restart ColdFusion MX.
