Hi, I am trying a simple way to test to see if a datasource is working. I have a new host, and they set it up weird. I just don't want to create a database to check the datasource.
In my Application.cfc page I have <cfcomponent> <!--- Any variables set here can be used by all the pages---> <cfset REQUEST.dataSource ="my datasource name"> </cfcomponent> then I make another page called datasource with <cfoutput>#dataSource#</cfoutput> Should this not tell me the name of the datasource? When i try I get a error saying Variable DATASOURCE is undefined Thanks for any help!
