Flex/Zend channel connect failed error...

Hi guys.
    I am using Flex and php to develop my project. Everything works great in my local machine. However, when I upload my files to my server (godaddy.com). I got the error when loading my flex application.
The pop-up error message is
send failed
channel.connect.failed.error
Netconnection.call.Badversion: url:
http://mydomail/folder/gateway.php
I have upload my ZendFramewrok folder into my server and amf_config.ini has been configured. (webroot =http://mydomain)
I am not sure what's going on here. Please help. Thanks.
Update: my gateway.php
<?php
ini_set("display_errors", 1);
$dir = dirname(__FILE__);
$webroot = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
$configfile = "$dir/amf_config.ini";
//default zend install directory

Error from gateway.php if I call it directly.

gateway.php is the rat. but I still can't figure out what's wrong. Zend/Loader/Autoloader.php is under the server root "ZendFramework/library" folder. I don't understand why my application can't find it. Thanks again!

    I made a CF/Flex site based on the Flexstore sample app,
    using a database instead of XML as the data source; in case you
    want to see it:
    http://www.timos.com/dg/flex/DilemmaGames.html
    At first I had troubles similar to what you describe;
    initially, part of the problem was that my hosting company had not
    yet upgraded to CF 7.02. One other thing I had to correct: when you
    upload to your server, upload the entire ‘bin’ (or
    whatever your output folder is) minus the debug SWF.
    If it would help with other issues, contact me and I will be
    glad to make my project code available to you. Good luck.

    Hello Everyone,
    I'm kinda sure a lot of people have to deal with the same error, but I can't solve it using explainations given in other topics. So here it is :
    I'm trying to create a Flex project on Adobe Flash Builder 4.0, using J2EE, BlazeDS and Tomcat6.0.
    To have a good start, I want to try some basic interactions between java & flex. For that, I created a java class with a functions returning a String, witch is called when a button is clicked in my main panel :

    When I launch my application, the button is created. But as soon as I click on it, I got the following message :

    any idea how to solve it ?

    I've resolved my issue. Perhaps you are correct that my tokens were not resolving, but since you did not offer a way to fix that, I was still on my own. There was nothing helpful that I could find in the console or log.
    I found this article, and after using his architecture (using an external config file to define the amf endpoint at runtime) I was able to connect to the back end. I was also looking for a good way to externalize information, so I recommend reading this article:

  • Channel.Connect.Failed (http 501) error when trying to connect to a remote php gateway

    hey all
    this is my first app to access remote data, and i am trying to build both clieant and server side
    i am working on a flashbuilder 4.6 and php simple system.
    I use the php data wizard to build my php code/services and develop locally on a wamp server, configuring the local mysql db with phpmyadmin. the wizard itself enables the zend framework needed
    locally, all looks fine
    i am trying out deployment to my real, linux based remote server, and for the first step I uploaded my php services to the remote server
    i used this guide by Mihai Corlan and when testing my app i get an Alert with
    Send failed
    Channel.Connect.Failed error NetConnection.Call.Failed: HTTP: Status 501: url: 'http://(my domain + file structure to..)gateway.php'
    so i guess even before i get to see if i changed the amf_config.ini and gateway.php itself and the services properly for deployment i am unable to connect to the gateway, correct?
    http 501 is something about html headers? i dont know any html, any php, any sql just as3 and mxml
    can anyone help?

    I do get "Zend Amf Endpoint" - as well - the app works perfectly when testing on my desktop as iphone4 simulation and on android, just not on my 4s device.
    as a side note, i can even browse to the gateway.php that I have set up via safari on the device. That makes me think that theres just some dumb http entitlement or "allow" setting for ios that I'm not finding.

    Hi,
    Can you please try tracing the FaultEvent.fault.rootCause
    object and see if there is any error message. Usually exceptions
    thrown from the server is available in this rootCause object.
    Hope this helps.

  • Channel Connection Failed  HTTP 405

    I've got the -services-config.xml set up and pointed to
    complie in Flex, but I'm getting these errors:
    Send failed - then I hit "OK"
    Channel.Connect.Failed error NetConnection.Call.Failed: HTTP:
    Status 405: url: '
    http://mySite.com/flex2gateway/'
    I've read several posts and created a new channel that does
    not point to the "localhost:port" and channel-definition id. It
    looks something like this:
    <endpoint uri="
    http://mySite.com/flex2gateway/"
    class="flex.messaging.endpoints.AMFEndpoint"/>
    I'm using Flex 3, so I don't know if there is any issues with
    it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    Found the problem. In case anyone else runs into this issue:
    On your Server you need Coldfusion version 7.0.2 at the
    minimum. When you goto the URL of
    http://x.x.x.x/flex2gateway
    in a web browser you should get a white blank page. Also make sure
    that you have a tab within the CF Administrator under Data &
    Services called Flex Intergration. I have had these same issues and
    found that my Production Server did not have the Flex Intergration
    so I had to Uninstall CF7 and ReInstall 7.0.2 to get the Flex
    Intergration.

  • Remoting Connection Issue: Channel.Connect.Failed

    Solution: Turns out my client had installed a new
    firewall/web management system without telling me. My app was being
    blocked. :(
    Hi there,
    I have a Flex app using remoting and ColdFusion. My client
    has suddenly experienced the following error:
    Channel.Connect.Failed
    NetConnection.Call.BadVersion: url: '
    http://mysite/flex2gateway/'
    The weird thing is the app works when you access it from
    outside of my client's office. I'm wondering if it is some sort of
    firewall issue on their end. Any thoughts?
    Thanks.

    The issue is probably do to a problem with your configuration.  There is probably a destination or endpoint issue.  A nice and short tutorial on this can be found at http://flexbandit.com/archives/55.

  • Connection Failed errors freezing iDVD when trying to do Magic DVD feature

    Whenever I try the Magic DVD feature lately (it used to work), iDVD freezes and I have to force quit. It repeatedly gives Connection Failed errors. But, strangely enough, if I simply make a new iDVD project (not through the Magic feature), it works just fine. I don't know of anything that I've done to cause this error. Tried messing with .plist files and don't want to do that again (seemed to cause bigger errors).

    Hi
    No not really any of them.
    I suggested this to find out where the trouble resides.

  • We are receiving a "Secure Connection Failed" error message when using Firefox Version 37.01. What is the remedy?

    We have multiple websites that do not launch now as a result of the recent upgrade from Firefox version 36.04 to version 37.01. We received "Secure Connection Failed" error messages which indicate that the connection was interrupted while the page was loading, and that the page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified. Please explain why this is happening, and if a fix will be issued soon by Mozilla, as everything was operating normally prior to the most recent Firefox upgrade. Alternatively, please identify browser settings that can/should be changed in order for Firefox to access these basic Internet sites (that are completely accessible using other browsers such as IE and Google Chrome). Thank you.

  • I get a "Secure Connection Failed" error with google stating "certificate contains the same serial number"

    When I click on a link for a google search, I get the "Secure Connection Failed" error in Firefox. It states, "Please contact the server administrator or email correspondent and give them the following information: Your certificate contains the same serial number as another certificate issued by the certificate authority."
    I have followed the instructions here:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Certificate%20contains%20the%20same%20serial%20number%20as%20another%20certificate
    and looked at this article:

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, deleted the entire profiles folder, and reset Firefox. I see that the older (orphaned) article points to my router. However, I have a new router and have updated its software. There is no button to add an exception (as noted in the article), so I can't just bypass it. This problem does not occur with IE, so I have a hard time believing it is my router.
    How do I troubleshoot this issue? I really don't want to change browsers.

  • Suppress "Connection Failed" Error Messages on Client?

    Hi there,
    I have a Leopard server which is Managing Preferences for users in groups. In my Login Preference for a group, I have it basically "auto mounting" shares, such as smb://leopard-server/accounting and smb://leopard-server/graphics.
    The works great so far. A user logs into their machine, managed prefs determines their group membership, and poof all the appropriate network drives show up on their desktop.
    Problem is - when a user is off the network (for instance, at home with their laptop), after they power up and login they are immediately assailed with error messages, one for each failed connection to a network drive: "Connection failed. The server may not exist or it is not operational at this time".
    Now it is understandable why Leopard is bringing up those error messages - it's trying it's best to connect to the network drive but the user isn't on the network.
    Question is: is there any way to suppress these error messages and let the users who are off-network boot to their desktop "quietly"?
    I know you can hold the Option key at login in order to turn off Managed Prefs altogether, but the problem with that is users tend to forget to turn Managed Prefs back on when they get back into the office.
    Any ideas?

    It's not just you, I am seeing this behaviour too.
    Where 10.4 clients would fail silently, 10.5 is throwing the "Connection Failed" error message as you described.
    I agree it is confusing to end users and would like a way to supress it, the only thing that springs to mind is manually mounting the share via a login hook that first checks network availability rather than using a WGM configured mount. Trouble is, to mount an afp share with the users credentials via a script is a whole new problem in itself.

  • "Connection failed" error with time capsule

    I can't access my time capsule. I get a "connection failed" error.  And yet, the WiFi still works.  I've tried resetting and unplugging and re-plugging.

    I've returned home after some time away, and it's back to the Time Capsule problem!
    The Time Capsule Status icon (the clock symbol in the menu bar) was grey - I went into Time Capsule Preferences, chose 'Select Disk' and selected 'Data' as the back-up location (the name of the Time Capsule folder). I then chose 'Backup Now' and the status icon turned black & began turning - with message 'Making Backup disk Available'. A couple of times, nothing happened beyond this - and I received an error message.
    However after restarting my laptop (note I have shut down and restarted a number of times anyway since end November) the 'Making backup disk available' message was quickly followed by 'Calculating Changes...'. Out of interest, Time Machine Prefernces says that Oldest Backup is "--" and Latest Backup is "--". After 5 minutes, the status changed to 'Calculating Changes... (1%)' and at this point I was able to open Time Machine, and move back to previous backups (most recent being 27 November). It went on to showthat it was backing up 24.5 GB, and began this process. Then the status icon switched to a black circle with warning triangle and Time Capsule Preferences now reads;
    Oldest Backup: 27 November 2009
    Latest Backup: Failed
    The error message (in the icon) is:
    Make sure your computer and the backup disk are on the same network, and that the backup disk is turned on. Then try again to back up.
    Latest successful backup: 27/11/2009 at 22:17
    Help appreciated!

  • How can I access Time Machine files?

    I installed an external 500 gigger external drive and dedicated it to Time Machine in June 2011. In October 2012 I upgraded to Snow Leopard and checked Time Machine only to find that all dates prior to that date were grayed out. I thus lost access to
