Hi All,
I'm just starting out (sort of)... and i can't even get connected to a database. We have an intranet server running CF... I'm trying to connect using dreamweaver... something funky is happening when i define a testing server (I'm wanting to use the same directory - so nothing is stored on my localmachine) I have tried everything and i keep gettig the same message when i click on specifiy the RDS login (i know that it is enabled with a pw on the server)
Error: The server name or address could not be resolved. - I'm really confused since i have checked and double checked everything - during the site set up i tested the urls as well. What am i missing???

Thanks in advance for your assistance!

Welcome to TSDN!

Is this when you go to Data Sources to set up the database connection in the Coldfusion Administrator?

Have you tried without using Dreamweaver?
