Webmaster Forum / Flash / Flash Remoting / March 2005

I have just uploaded the application I made to the hosting company?s server.
Before uploading it, I had tested it locally and it worked perfectly. What has
confused me is that it runs awkwardly in the server.

The lists below are the problems I have been facing since the first time I
uploaded it to the server.

I am using FlashRemoting, ColdFusion and Access.
Let's assume that my domain name is www.myDomainName.com.

1. At the very beginning, I used http://localhost:8500/flashservices/gateway
as the getaway URL. The application could not connect to the database at all.
After doing some research in Macromedia?s site, I just knew that I cannot use
localhost:8500 in the hosting server. I just did some trial error and changed
every http://localhost:8500/flashservices/gateway to
http://www.myDomainName.com/flashservices/gateway. It did make the application
speak to the database but awkwardly. There is no problem for the application to
get something from the database, but once you try to insert or update something
to the database, it always fails. Did I miss something?

2. I have 2 browsers in my local computer: Internet Explorer 6.0 and Firefox
1.0.1. I am using Windows XP Professional with service pack 2 installed. Before
uploading the application, I had tested with both of them and it was perfect.
If you go to http://www.hendrosoetrisno.com now, although both of them cannot
insert/update the database, Firefox seems to work better. One of the section in
the application I made is to check whether an email address that is typed in by
a user exists in the database or not. If it does, then whether the password
matches. Firefox can just show the result instantly but it takes almost 20
minutes for Internet Explorer to do the same thing. Any idea what happens?
