Locator Service

Question

All,

I turn to this forum to hopefully find some advice in the following:
The address locator has been giving an error (see below). 
I have built a new address locator and published it... I have tried several possible solutions in the config and have been searching all over the place for trouble-shooting. But unsuccessful. It says its unable to connect to the locator service (http://myserver/ArcGIS/rest/services/geocoder/GeocodeServer).

Any help would be a big relief and if you need more info just let me know.

Cheers!

(I'm using the compiled version of 2.5 (I am also migrating to 3.0 which works fine!).

Benjamin,

Are you sure you are editing the XML file that your locate widget is pointing to based on the url in the main config.xml?

Example:        <widget label="Find an address"   left="100" top="90" preload="open"
                icon="assets/images/i_target.png"
                config="widgets/Locate/LocateWidget.xml"
                url="widgets/Locate/LocateWidget.swf"/>

Robert,

I have solved the issue by using an already-made locator.
Thanks anyway for taking the time!

I can understand I have you confused and you'll have to bear with me as I dont know what could've gone wrong.
So, I changed the url to :http://arcgisprd/ArcGIS/rest/services/geocoder/GeocodeServer, which is the geocoders (that I made) url.
Seems though doesn't matter what I change it too...I keep getting the same error.
