This confused me for a bit. I enabled rds in the admin, then I setup the steps in the eclipse coldfusion rds configuration window but test connection always failed.

Turns out apache wasnt listening on the standard rds port 8500.

I went to the apache conf file and found the line that says Listen 80. I added just below it Listen 8500 and restarted.

Testing the connection via eclipse then gave me the joy!

Wait, theres more! So, then the little green bug was’nt visible on my toolbar. I clicked on an icon on the far right of the icons area. It says Java and has a little target and 2 balls and the word Java. This made the bug appear.

Then I got to the configurations screen. Here you actually have to double click the Coldfusion Application icon. (yup, that my of been obvious to the smarter people).

Everything else is buttah and the debugger is pretty sweet!

Consider a cross between Star Wars and Underworld and maybe some Matrix thrown in.  There is some really good stuff in this movie if your willing to work to follow the devilishly hard to follow plot.  There is quite a bit of mythology to absorb and understand.  Then there are even more plot twists and sudden revelations to grasp.  Lastly, there is at least two stories going on in this first installment.

So, do not make the mistake I did and see it with a bunch of babblers with no patience for complexity who are too busy eating chocolate fondue to note the excellence of this movie.

So, where was I.  Yes, the 4 part book is by a Russian named Nochnoi Dozor. There appear however to be only 3 movies.  In russia, the movie became a sensation blowing away all other blockbusters such as spiderman and shrek etc.

The plot is a bit beyond this blog posting so I won’t even try to do justice here.

I’d definetly recommend this movie. Do note the above warning. Its not for the non serious movie watcher.
