Hello All, I need to do some work on a clients site locally on my machine. This is a new laptop that has just been installed for me.
I have installed CF 6.1 on the machine because that what the customer is using and Sql Server. I am not able however to get an MS SQL dsn in CF to work. I go to data sources in the CF Admin Add the Datasource Name and select Microsoft SQL Server as a Driver On the next screen I enter the database name, the server (my machine name) username and password. But the message that I get is Connection Verification failed for data source : mydsn Error Establishing Socket: Connection refused : Connect But if I make the DSN via the OBDC manager in windows, then point to that DSN using the ODBC socket option it works? What am I doing wrong? Shouldn't I be able to just connect. I am running XP pro with Service Pack 2 , and have made sure that fire wall is turned off. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| 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:4:221374 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
