Can't connect to production API

Hello!

 

I thought I had everything ready for today, but I'm having issues connecting to the production API.  When I try I just get "Connection Failure".  I switch over to the test API and I at least get a message that says that my credentials are not valid.

 

I'm running ColdFusion 11 with all the updates installed.

Java version 1.7.0_51

 

When I post to https://test.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll I get the response that I have the wrong login credentials.

 

When I post to https://secure.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll I get the response: Connection Failure.

 

I have even imported the secure.authorize.net secure certificate hopeing that would help, but it didn't.

 

Nothing I try seems to help.

 

Thank  you!!!

Upgrade to java 1.8 as that made the difference for us on our Coldfusion 11 box

To further follow up, I signed up for a sandbox account (couldn't remember my old one) and ran a transaction through and got:

 

https://secure.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll 3,1,6,(TESTMODE) The credit card number is invalid.,000000,P,0,,CC Ref: 92389,1.00,CC,auth_capture,,Joel,Vogt,,2224 Terminal Road,Roseville,MN,55113,,USA,,6512556239,,,,,,,,,,,,,,E7444E4C7FC16651C8F7899AB20C2A42,FALSE,

 

Looks to me like I'm able to connect to the sandbox but not the production site.

 

Thanks!
