I created a Flex app in a Windows XP environment using Flex Builder 3.
From the menubar, I selected "Project->Export Build Release" and moved the files from /bin-release onto my local server (WAMP).
I have a PHP file that connects to a db and delivers some data via XML
Everything works right on my computer. Then I tried to move the app to a mac.
I installed MAMP with the default settings (localhost:8888)
I can connect to the PHP file and get the XML by hitting the appropriate URL on # http://localhost:8888/...
Likewise, I can connect to the html template and the swf executes, but it doesn't seem to be getting the data back, and I don't get any debug info popping up.
Any ideas? Are there security settings enabled by default in Mac OS that would not allow a flex app to request data from a remote resource (i.e. http://localhost:8888/ in this case)?
what is the error that you get?
1. try to catch the FaultEvent
2. do you install any of flash debugger?
The trouble was with the MAMP installation. I reinstalled it, and the app worked.

I didn't use my VS10 for a while, and now I've tried to launch some old website of mine that remained untouched so far, but I can't get it running because I get the "Unable to connect to the configured development web server" error. Tried to launch a new empty website but no luck there either, the same issue persists.
I can't change the port number on the left bottom side because it is grayed out for some reason.
Screenshot:
Things I've tried:
Launching a new empty website project
Starting as VS as administrator
Restarting PC
deleting folder C:\Users\USER\Documents\IISExpress and opening VS without it (restored it when I could tell it didn't change anything)
Would appreciate any help!
Try this two suggestions.
First option
In the Solution explorer
Right-click on the web project in visual studio and select properties.
In the menu shown, Select Web from the left bar
Under “Use local IIS server” change the port number
Run the application
Second option
Got to the applications root directory.
Enable Show hidden files from the View option of the window explorer
Delete the .vs directory.
Run the project.
I use to be able to connect to my Test Server source code via a Network Drive.
I have mapped it to letter K.
My computer (since last restart) won't run the IDE properly, and always displays the error ASP.NET runtime error: Failed to map the path '/'. at the top of the .aspx file.
I have tried the following:
Starting Visual Studio as administrator
Ensuring that my user has FULL rights to the source code folder (both from the network drive and the server)
Given Network Service and Network users on the server full control over the test server source code folder.
Changing the AppPool identity on the test server to use my username (as I am administrator on the server as well).
Creating a new website project and mapping it on another network drive (Still doesn't resolve the problem).
When I access the test server via my web browser I receive no errors. So I know there is no errors in my code.
If I open the IDE on the server using remote desktop then it works with no errors.
I can live with the error on the top of the page, however when I try to access a DataSet or a Control on the page then it doesn't register the control or function as an existing function.
I am now at a complete loss as to how I am going to fix this.
Any ideas on what could cause this issue and how I could fix it?
I found a work around to the problem by opening the code directly using the IIS on the server.
What I did was click on File -> Open Website, in the open dialog, on the left, I clicked "Local IIS", found my TestServer and clicked open.
I'm trying to resolve a Flex remote object Coldfusion call. I'm getting the following error.
[MessingError message='Destination 'ColdFusion' either does not exist or the destination has no channels defined (and the application does not define any default channels.)']
When I access my CFC through a cfm page, they work. Due to the way the servers are configured, I'm having issues setting up flex with a coldfusion service when I create a new project because I'm developing on a machine, but have to push everything to the server where CF is located. I'm also wondering if the way CF is setup may be an issue. The company is running Coldfusion from the c:\inetpub directory with IIS and out of the same webroot directory they are running WordPress/MySQL (6 WP sites to be exact). Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I will also add that when I create the flex project I can not set ColdFusion as the web server whether local (1.This machine doesn't run a local instance due to office permissions) and 2.) They don't have the J2EE setup.
The first thing I would check is what you get when you go to: http://www.domain.com/flex2gateway. That should give you a blank page, but if you get anything else (such as a 404) the flex gateway isn't running.
The other thing to make sure is that you set your services compiler argument on flash builder to the coldfusion services-config.xml file in the WEB-INF/flex directory.
-services c:/Coldfusion/wwwroot/WEB-INF/flex/services-config.xml
I am creating a Flex project on my Windows machine but it will deploy on my Linux machine.
For application server type I selected PHP
I click next to go to the next screen.
I am then asked for Web root. I put in /var/www which is the web root of the linux server where the application will be.
I get an error telling me:
The selected web root folder does not exist.
Of course it does not exist on my windows machine, its on my linux machine. It will not let me click finish.
What do I do? do I have to author my Flex app on the same machine that it will be deployed? I hope not since I do not have a Linux version of Flash Builder.
edit:
By the way I am following this tutorial if it matters.
Use the web root on your windows machine. Sounds like Flex wants to know the webroot so it knows where the testing server is. If you do not have a webroot on your windows machine just install Wampserver or XAMPP
You can get away without installing a wamp server. just make sure the Web Root is a folder that acutally exists. then you can ftp the files over the linux machine for testing. Its easier to have the server on the same machine but whatever your preference is.
Recently I installed Oracle and the required Microsoft Loopback Adaptor, which worked fine. However, this seems to have screwed up IIS (or at least its interaction with Visual Studio) somehow. I can't connect to localhost or 127.0.0.1 anymore, and I can't even open a web project in Visual Studio 2008 (which used to work fine), getting the error "The local IIS URL http://localhost/MyProject specified for the Web project MyProject has not been configured. In order to open this project the virtual directory needs to be configured. Would you like to create this directory now?" I click yes, then it gives an error that it "could not find the server http://localhost on the current machine".
IIS is running and I can connect to the default IIS website and other contents of inetput/wwwroot on localhost:1122.
I tried to disable the loopback adaptor and comment out the line I needed to add to hosts to get Oracle working, and while this has stopped Oracle from working, it hasn't helped with IIS/localhost.
edit: this turned out to be fixed by restoring the project from a backup, so it must have been an issue with the project itself of some sort.
I am guessing it's a problem with the loopback adaptor. You might have to restore your Connection settings properly. Check whether the loopback adaptor is properly disabled and whether Connection settings are correct from Control Panel->Network Connections.
Edit:
Also it would be better to restart the system after you have made all the necessary changes in the settings.
You could configure your local IIS to listen on a different port. Right click Default website, tab Web site, then Advanced. Add for example 1234 as a TCP port.
Then you can connect like http://localhost:1234/YourProject
You can open the website in Visual Studio from the file system, and specify the new URL in Project -> Property Pages -> Start Options -> Use custom server.
Ok, I finally managed to get this working by deleting the project and restoring from a backup. I guess the project configuration had somehow become screwed up in such a way as to cause the error I got, rather than there being a problem with IIS itself. Sorry for the false alarm.
Something similar happened to me today on Windows XP and IIS 5.whatever-it-is. The problem is that a tool I installed had created some Virtual Directories without an Application Name under the Default Web Site.
The solution was to open up the IIS snap-in, right-click and choose Properties for the offending virtual directories, and make up an "Application name" under the "Virtual Directory" tab of the Properties dialog that pops up. It didn't matter what I named it, as long as there was no virtual directory under the Default Web Site with a blank application name.
