Hi Mark, You need to be logged in as admin to avoid getting this error. Can you try running the scripts from CFIDE/administrator directory?

RE: error with ColdFusion 8 ODBC Agent I just did an install on a production server and cannot get this script to run. I get this error: "The current user is not authorized to invoke this method" What am I doing wrong? How do I fix? Uninstalling and reinstalling CF8 is not an option, since I have all the mappings, cf and cfx tags and browserhawk installed and running.

What you can do is, remove the existing ODBC services using remove-odbcservices.cfm having the script given below: <cfscript> createObject("component","cfide.adminapi.administrator").login("admin"); myObj = createObject("component","cfide.adminapi.datasource"); writeOutput("Removing ODBC Services...<br>"); returnValue = myObj.removeODBCservice(); writeOutput("ODBC Services removed"); </cfscript> And then, install the ODBC services using install-odbcservices.cfm having the script given below: <cfscript> createObject("component","cfide.adminapi.administrator").login("admin"); myObj = createObject("component","cfide.adminapi.datasource"); writeOutput("Installing ODBC Services...<br>"); returnValue = myObj.installODBCservice(); writeOutput("ODBC Services installed"); </cfscript> Then, try starting ColdFusion ODBC Server service.

When I went to do so in cf admin, the admin said "The ColdFusion ODBC Server service is not running or has not been installed." So I figured the service wasn't set to automatic and went into services to start it up. When I tried to start the service, I got this error: Could not start the ColdFusion 8 Odbc Server service on Local computer. Error 3 The system cannot find the path specified. I did a clean install of windows and CF 8. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
