Error executing RDS command. Status Code : 404 , Reason : Not Found

Question

Anyone know how I would resolve this error?

Answer 1

There can be any number of reasons. First would if the RDS feature is disabled on the server you’re connecting to. Second, that web server (if you are using one) could be configured to block RDS requests (or perhaps even all requests to url’s with CFIDE in them). You could address those, but before you do, please do share more about your use of CFB.
To be clear, are you meaning to intentionally use the feature in CFB where you define a server (and optionally connect a project to that server), so that you can use features to allow you to access server resources (database info, CFC, and more) from within CFB? You would typically only do that in connecting to a development server. Just want to know what your intentions are before leading you to enable something on a server that you don’t really need.
And while we await those answers, and whether the first paragraph may get you going to a solution, is this CF server something you’re connecting to (the RDS url) using the server’s external web server (like IIS or Apache, such as is typical if you have no port in the URL), or via CF’s built-in web server (such as is typical when you have a port like 8500 in the URL)? That may be important in helping to solve your problem.
For instance, if the server (and the URL you’re using) uses IIS, then if you visited the URL for RDS in a browser on the server itself, you may get a much more clear explanation of the problem (since by default, IIS shows more details for requests made ON the sever itself than it does for requests from off the server). The RDS URL (which is generated by the RDS feature in CFBuilder, not something you normally type) is /CFIDE/main/ide.cfm, so append that to the domain or IP address of the server you have configured CFBuilder to use, and see what more detail you may get in your browser.
