I am new to coldfusion. using a video lesson from total training i learned how to use dreamweaver / coldfusion and MySQL database driven site. i use a mac, and my webpage works beautifully on my computer (locally). the problem is when i try to upload the site at godaddy, it gives me an error message (database not found). i called customer rep, no one know how to help.
the real problem: i have my datbase, i have everything set up, the problem is the index.cfm file can't access the database the way it does on my computer. they said i have to change the string and let the file know where the data is. i don't know where to put the string on my 'index.cfm' file. please help... i have a simple one page site that accesses a database created by MySQL 5.0. this is the HTML to access the database on my computer. i created an image placeholder, and i want the source of the image to be the 'large_photo_source' from my database. <div align="center"><cfoutput query="rs_christmas" startRow="#StartRow_rs_christmas#" maxRows="#MaxRows_rs_christmas#"><img src="#rs_christmas.large_photo_source#" alt="#rs_christmas.large_photo_description#" name="christmas" class="image" id="christmas" /> <div align="center"> i have a record set called rs_christmas, and the database (spaceexpressions) has one table called 'christmasphotos'. the table has three fields - 'photo_id' 'large_photo_description' and 'large_photo_source'. it should be simple, but i am stuck. someone said i have to have the database string from the hosting company - godaddy. i got the string, but don't know where to put it. the index.cfm file doesn't say where to find the database, the table... HELP will be highly greatly appreciated!
