Data Services Port

[clstanton01]

I know this question was asked back in April, but it was not
answered, so I'm giving it another try...



I am a Web Developer with lots of experience in programming,
but not J2EE type stuff, so I seem to be having some difficulty
getting FDS up and running on my Windows box. I am running FDS on
Tomcat on IIS. I can process .jsp pages on the server on port
:8080, but I'm not sure what port my FDS is running on. Is there a
default port? When I access the pages from port :8080, is just
spits out the .mxml code instead of processing the code.



Any help would be appreciated!

Did you follow the Tomcat specific deployment steps specified
in the installation doc?

Thanks for the reply, but yes. I have followed all of the
installation instructions, and like my question said, the
installation worked fine for .jsp pages, but still the Data
Services samples are not working. Instead of processing the mxml
pages, it is displaying the mxml pages in the browser.



Thanks.

This typically means that the WebServer isn't routing the
request to FDS. This is not an FDS issue, the AppServer to
WebServer connector configuration needs to be setup properly.

Thanks knallore. That was the problem! I was also setting up
the directories under ROOT in Tomcat instead of on the same level
as root. I also didn't realize that i could use flex.war as the
template for my web app directory, and just add to that...so I had
a lot wrong! But I'm good to go now!
