I tried the localhost. Did not work. Coldfusion is installed on the web server where the files reside.

Browse All TopicsIn my dreamweaver site, I am trying to access my applications. When I click on the link to specify the RDS Login information, I get the following errors.
The server name or address could not be resolved.
Possible Reasons:
1. The URL specified for this sites testing server may be incorrect: http://site
2. The testing server may be incorrectly configured (for example, ColdFusion may not be running).
The only changes that I made were upgrading from CF7 - CF8.
Any thoughts? BTW - I edit files over the network on the web server.

I have the same error but I have a fresh cf8 no upgrade and I told it NOT to use RDS but Dreamweaver is still asking for it. When I look in the CF8 Admin it shows RDS as enabled with no password. It is recommended for a production server not to use it so why is Dreamweaver cs3 asking for it when I try to set up an ftp connection for cf pages?
