CF Users - If your ColdFusion app stops working and displays the following error: "The DataSource service is not available. This exception is usually caused by service startup failure. Please check your server configuration."
Read the following: http://www.macromedia.com/support/coldfusion/ts/documents/tn18299.htm http://www.mariposa.com.au/arcims/archives/000210.html More importantly, you need to backup the following 2 files immediately, and do so occasionally after making significant changes: neo-query.xml & jrun-resources.xml Twice we have experienced problems where the files seem to stop working. After an hour+ of removing data sources manually from neo-query.xml and restarting CF services, CF will work again. In theory, CF backs up these files with a .bak extension. Either way, you should back them up periodically and give them a date stamp in the file name. Then, if this error occurs, you can stop CF, replace with a backup copy and restart. At the least, if CF won't start correctly, manually go through the neo-query.xml file and carefully move the large xml strings for each datasource into a temp file. Stopping & Restarting CF each time. Eventually you will probably clear out the 1 bad datasource and Cf will work. The easiest way is to have occasional backups! ========================================================= Kansas City ColdFusion User Group's website & listserv is hosted through the generous support of Clickdoug.com To send email to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To (un)subscribe, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with your request.
