I have ColdFusion 11 U4 running as a Amazon EC2 instance from Adobe's Windows AMI.
I am trying to connect via ColdFusion Builder 3 (mine) and ColdFusion Studio (client's). At first I got the dreaded 404 error, so I added in /CFIDE/main/ide.cfm as an empty file so IIS would find it.
Now the error has changed to: 'Unable to contact the RDS Server... For input string: ""' in CF Builder.
In ColdFusion Studio the error was "server operation failure". After debugging was turned off it changed to "unhandled error, use logging enabled clients if possible."
I had HTTP filter restrictions in place for CFIDE directory stuff, but removed all that, no change. I have also tried all three options for user authentication for RDS.
I also tried it on my local machine but after I resolved the 404 error I get a 405 error for method not allowed. So that's no help either.
Here's the settings:
Description: {client name}
Host name: {IP Address}
Port Number: 80
Timeout: 30s
Context Root: empty
User Name: {user name}
Password: {password}
Thanks in advance.
