Hi,

everytime I try to typing in this url,
http://localhost:8500/flashservices/gateway, I get a 404 error. Reading
articles I see that the flash remoting services should be installed on set up
of ColdFusion. But I don't think that mine was.
So, what can I do? Is there a post installation set up I can do?
What about these web.xml and web_config.xml files?
I am running ColdFusion MX7 on Windows XP.
Thanks for your help,

- J

Same predicamente here! Have you been able to find out something useful?
Thanks for sharing.

CFMX 7 you cannot just run the URL like you could back in CFMX 6.xx . You
actually need to run it through an app.

Try using this test app:

http://www.webcontrolcenter.com/downloads/remotingtest.zip

1. Unzip its contents and upload them to a directory called "remotingtest"
under the root of your site.
2. Call up the index.cfm file in this directory in your site, for example
http://www.EXAMPLE.com/remotingtest/index.cfm.
3. Follow the directions displayed in the index.cfm file

The path to use for Flash Remoting is:
http://www.EXAMPLE.com/flashservices/gateway
where EXAMPLE.com is your domain name.

I am not sure what version you are running but I think you will need JVM 1.4.2_09 to get Flash Remoting to Work!

From what I've been reading http://www.servername.com/flashservices/gateway is
supposed to give a blank page if it's working, a 404 if not. On my production
server I do get the blank page but on my dev server I do not. I also tried a
few other cf servers out there that I know are on MX7 and I get the blank page
on them as well.

On Mx7, you will get a blank page whether it works or not. It is due to
security to not post any errors or even a 404.

Check your c:\CFusionMX7\wwwroot\WEB-INF\gateway-config.xml file to make sure
that the following line under <service-adapters> is uncommented out:

<service-adapters>
...
<adapter>coldfusion.flash.adapter.CFWSAdapter</adapter>


</service-adapters>

We've just upgraded our development server from 6.1 to 7.0.2 and now we get the
404 error (or, in the Flash IDE, 'Error opening URL
"http://.../flashservices/gateway"'), as well.

I looked at the gateway-config.xml file, and that appears normal (or, as
stated below).

We didn't experience this problem with the developer's edition, but then those
were full installations, rather than upgrades.

Any help would be appreciated.

What does that do??

And does anyone know how to do flash remoting with the cfc files in another
location besides "...cfusionMX7/wwwroot/" ??
