Cant work with Data Services

Level 1
Hi,



I am new to flex and I want to know step-by-step guidelines
to smoothly install FDS on my laptop and easily run the sample
applications. Currently when I install FDS on my machine,
everything works fine and I am even able to access the
http://localhost:8700/flex
url and
http://localhost:8700/samples
url. But when I click on the link for any sample application on the
samples page, it gives me a page not found. Also when I open a new
Flex data services project in Flex Builder and write some code, I
get an problem error in flex builder-"unable to open
services-config.xml"



I browsed to the folder in JRun\default\servera\flex and
indeed there was no file called "services-config.xml"



I am stuck at this point and hence cannot run any sample or
my own application using data services. Please someone help me out
here as maybe I am forgetting something trivial or there is some
other issue.



Thanks.

Can you right click on the link and capture the URL that the
sample is trying

to open?



Note that "services-config.xml" lives in
/WEB-INF/flex/services-config.xml.

The link is to the mxml file of the application. The
services-config.xml is not in the folder you have mentioned.

Then I'd say you don't have a correctly setup web
application... look for

samples.war and expand it using winzip - notice the contents
of /WEB-INF/

directory. You should have /WEB-INF/flex/services-config.xml
if you have

a valid FDS war file.

I will re-deploy it and check if it works fine. Thank you for
your support.
