hit the max quota, partially due to excessively large log files by
ColdFusion. Lesson learned, pay attention to your development servers!!!!!
This was just the start of my problem. It appears as though when Linux
went chaotic, it deleted all of the data in the <cfinstallroot>/odb/odbc.ini
file, however, kept all of the configuration's in the
<cfinstallroot>/registry/cf.registry file. This is why I was getting the
conflicting message about datasource names already existing. The ini file
was telling the CF Administrator that there was no datasources installed,
but the registry file reflected a different story.
The behavior also reset permissions on the odbc.ini file so I had to reset
this as well. Once I reset those perms, added all the datasources back to
the odbc.ini file (you could remove reference to all datasources by
removing the db entries in the odbc.ini file and the cf.registry file),
restarted CF servers (fyi. before you edit files you must stop CF services
or else the buffer for those files will overwrite your changes) we were back
in business.
Phew!!!! Not an easy beginning of the week.

Subject: lost access to datasources and log files
I have a question for the list. I was hoping someone could help me clear
up
this behavior
I am running CF 5 on a LINUX 7.2 server. Applications on this server
started reporting that data sources that I know should be working are no
longer in existence. When I went to the ODBC Connections page in the CF
Administrator, it reported that there were no data sources added to the
server. This is clearly false. As of an 2 hours ago, this server had
roughly 7 data sources connected to it. I tried to re-add a data source
that used to be there and the server responded with a message saying that
the name I have selected is being used for another data source! Strange.
When I went to the log files page to see if there were any errors or
strange
behavior as of recent, I could not access any of the log files.
Has anybody ever experienced anything like this before?
