Hello all,

I have started to create a site on a ColdFusion MX host that has remoting
components installed. Per their instructions, I am trying to connect using
http://mindthrive.com/flashservices/gateway. The host structures its folder by
having the name of the site as the root and then a www folder, and my remoting
files are in KAM/ows. So I have tried to set my service path to both KAM.ows
and www.KAM.ows but have not been successful either way. Is it possible that
the gateway is incorrect? Do I need to have a exact URL for the gateway such as
http://123.548.485.41/flashservices/gateway?

I have tested all the files on a local standalone server at work and they all
perform fine. So I know its something on the host's end.

Any help would by tremendously appreciated
Keith

I'm having a similar problem. I'm trying to launch my first Flash Remoting site
on a hosted server. I have tried putting a test CFC in the site root:
remotetest.cfc which returns a string when test() is called.

I have set the gatewayURL with the flashvars parameter on the html page to the
default -- fulldomainname/flashservices/gateway. I did not use
setDefaultGateway in the flash file and the getService parameter is "remotetest"

All works well on my local machine's development server.

I get a HTTP: Status 405 when I try to connect to the hosted site. I think
the host is using IIS as a web server.

Are you loading a SWF from one server and trying to make a remoting
connection to another?

Are you aware of the cross-domain restrictions of Flash Player 7?

I loading and attempting to connect from the same directory on the same site.
It works fine on the developer edition I have. I think the problem is the
hosting provider is using multi-homed sites and has something configured wrong.
They are checking it. Here's some

I'll keep you posted.
