I have been using HomeSite for years and connecting to my server using RDS. I
woke this morning to find that I could no longer connect to my server. When I
try I receive a 'HTTP Error 404. I think something changed on my server last
night as there were other strange things going on today. I seem to remember
having to make some kind of server adjustment two years agoa to get RDS to
work. Does anyone have any ideas on why I am getting this error and how to
resolve it?

We've resolved this issue so I thought I would post the solution for others
that may experience this in the future.

The problem was in the web.xml file which had the following location on my
server:

C:\CFusionMX7\wwwroot\WEB-INF\web.xml

In that file there are two sections that nee to be active for RDS to work
properly. These sections are clearly identified as RDS sections. Evidentally
the default file from the installation has these commented out which caused the
HTTP Error 404 I was receiving.

In our situation the default file had been restored with these two sections
commented out, consequently RDS would not work properly.
