Webmaster Forum / Flash / Flash Remoting / January 2005"Error opening URL" driving me nuts
Hello, I am unable to run remoting on any server other than my personal server. If I use this code I'm fine: var net_conn = NetServices.createGatewayConnection('http://localhost:8500/flashservices/gateway '); but if I try and change localhost:8500 to the production server's name or IP I get this: Error opening URL 'http://servername/flashservices/gateway'. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Luke I would check your server's firewall settings. Perhaps port 8500 requests are being blocked? That would account for the server working with localhost but not with the actual ip address. This is all on our intranet. There isn't any firewall involved. see if you can access 'http://servername/flashservices/gateway' in a browser. You should get a blank page. If you don't, you don't have flash remoting installed on that machine. You are correct in that I do not get a blank page. (I do on another server that works.) I'm not sure what else I need to install. I believe I installed everything: Flash MX 2004 (7.2), ColdFusion 6.1 Server, Flash Player 7, and Flash Remoting Components for 2004 ActionScript 2.0. Am I missing something? I'm also getting an error: 'Could not generate stub objects for web service invocation. ' When I try to use cfinvoke to get at the web service in a cfm page on that server. I'm stumped. I've looked all over the Internet and I find people with these problems but no real solutions. Thanks for any help you can give. The only thing that you should need on a server is ColdFusion 6.1 server and Flash Remoting Components. Not sure why you would have Flash MX 2004 unless you're using the server as a workstation for development as well although I would never do this on a production server. You said: 'You are correct in that I do not get a blank page. (I do on another server that works.) ' Okay, any differences between the two servers? Unless you get the blank page to ensure that remoting is installed, no sense continuing. I would attempt to get this working by: 1. Re-install the remoting components and see if that fixes the problem. 2. Re-install the CF server and remoting components and see if that fixes the problem. I didn't think I need all of that installed but I did because I read this section on Macromedia: http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_16319#install I've been trying to find the differences, but it has been a couple of days and I still can't find anything significant. I have tried re-installing the remoting components, but not sure I want to re-install CF. This server is still in use and I can't really make it unavailable. I'll keep looking. Is there anything special I need to do to get web services working on Windows Server 2003? Here are some updates: I ran the steps on this page, http://www.macromedia.com/support/flashremoting//ts/documents/iis_gateway_connec tion.htm#enable, and it enabled my Flash Remoting. Now I get a blank page when I go to http://servername/flashservices/gateway. The odd thing is that I did the same thing Monday morning and it didn't fix the issue. It may have been some combination of running the bats and reinstalling the remoting components. Now on to the 'stub' problem. Since it is an intranet webserver we do not allow anonymous browsing. I turned that off and the web services worked. Now I'm trying to get them to work with it turned on. |
