Yes, this is the place to ask. First, I'll confirm that you can't use RDS on a public shared server. You use FTP to upload and download your pages.
Have you asked Crystaltech for a datasource on the their server? If so, are you using the correct name for it? CT needs to configure the DSN the same way you configured yours. -----Original Message----- From: Marcia Gilbert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 17 May 2005 4:15 To: CF-Newbie Subject: Possible Spam :Coldfusion - Access - Dreamweaver HELP! I am very much a Newbie and very much confused. I used Coldfusion MX7, Acess 2000, and Dreamweaver MX 2004 and am trying to load my dynamic site on a Crystaltech server. Since they do not allow RDS connections, I have been having problems getting my CF pages to work. I keep getting the error "Data source Name could not be found." I have configured and tested the DNS through CF Administrator and it works. Although after testing, it gives me the info: "connection string dsn=name" and I don't know what to do with that. So maybe that's the problem. The site worked fine off my hard drive; it was only once I put it up on the Crystaltech site that I had problems. I am learning as I go along, and my client has been patient, but it's wearing thin and my frustration level is increasing. I have read and tried so many things, that I am more confused than ever, so please HELP! And a note about Crystaltech; they have been less than helpful. First they told me they don't allow RDS. So I said, fine but how do I access my pages without it. Then they replied, we can't give out the RDS password for security reasons. Then I sent them a screenshot from DW showing them that I couldn't get around the RDS password problem and they replied that they only accept FTP. Each time I write back, all I get is what I can't do, not any help in how to make it work. Their last reply was to go the DW forums for help... I chose Crystaltech after doing some research and they seemed to have a good reputation on several CF forums. But perhaps I made a mistake? Someone from another forum suggested I try posting my question here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank-you in advance. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:15:940 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/15 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:15 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.15 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
