Coldfusion Io Error On Server Communication
Feeling a little lazy and not wanting to type in the full path by hand, I clicked the "Browse Server" button. There are similar buttons for adding ColdFusion coldfusion 8 io error on server communication mappings and searching for file-based databases while adding data sources. The Browse Server page coldfusion 9 io error on server communication uses an applet to let you choose directories or files off your server. I was greeted with an error message: coldfusion enable rds Server Error IO error on server communication Not to worry though. The browse server functionality is dependent upon RDS (Remote Development Services). http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_18046 RDS allows all sorts of information about data sources and the file system to be accessed via HTTP. Therefore, it is important to NEVER TURN RDS ON IN PRODUCTION or any server connected to the public Internets for that matter. My server in question is just a dev box which has no visibility outside the firewall. Complete instructions for enabling RDS can be found here: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_17276&sliceId=1 Basically, in ColdFusion 4.5 and 5, RDS ran as a separate Windows service and required a registry change. Since ColdFusion MX and higher, it is integrated into CF and all you need to do is edit your web.xml file. I have wondered why Adobe hasn't made it easier to turn RDS on, but truthfully, it's probably better this way. I would hate for a bunch of novices to put their production server at risk by clicking around in CF Administrator and not realizing what they are enabling. Most people who don't know what they are doing will stop short of editing config files. Your web.xml file is found in "cf_root\wwwroot\WEB-INF\" where "cf_root" is the directory you have installed ColdFusion in. web.xml sets up the mappings for what classes are invoked to handle the different types of requests that come through JRun. There are two blocks you need to un-comment for RDS to begin working (Line breaks added for readability): [code]

I then added the code (see below) after the 1st servlet mentioned under the "Begin RD" and saved the file and still no go.
