I am new to coldfusion and have my site internetcraftfair.com that doesn't
have coldfusion on the server. The sister of my server has coldfusion and
has been kind enough to set me up a temporary location so I can code some
pages for possible employment.
Well I have coded the page and sent it up to the sister server but I am not
sure how to point it to access my database on my site's server. I have been
using perl to connect to my database on my site with DBI and I make a
database string that I send to the server in a variable. I have tried to
form a database type of string with the CFSET functions setting the username,
password, and hostname. I am not sure of the syntax of it though or if I am
suppose to use my site "internetcraftfair.com" as the host or the server
"topchoice.com".
To access my database on my server through telenet my root folder on
internetcraftfair.com is client/home/internetcraftfair and then I type in
mysql to access the database and send my username and password in to access
it.
should this be internetcraftfair.com or do I need to
specify my root directory ?
do I use commas or colons in
this string?
I am having a hard time accessing the temp folder on the web and hope to
hear back from radiant in the morning so I can view my code on the web. I
would appreciate any help on this you can suggest.
Thanks--
