Re: Datasource issue with CrystalTech

2009-09-15 Thread Eric Cobb

Sounds like a question for the CrystalTech support guys.  I've been 
using CrystalTech for years and have never run into any problems with 
datasources.


Thanks,

 Hello there!  I have a website that is being hosted through CrystalTech and 
 am running into an issue with assigning a datasource through their control 
 panel.  From what I've seen in the past, you assign a datasource name with a 
 userid and password and then associate whatever MySQL database you have with 
 that datasource by it's userid.  However, in the CrystalTech control panel, 
 you create a MySQL database with up to three userids and passwords, then 
 create a datasource (without inputting a userid and password) and link it to 
 the database you have created.
 
 Once I have done this, I run a query on one of the tables with a cfquery 
 tag and input the datasource, username, and password attributes into that 
 tag.  I get the following error message when I run the page:
 
 Datasource datasource_name could not be found.
 
 The connection string I receive for this datasource in the CrystalTech 
 control panel is this:
 
 dsn=datasource_name;uid=;password=
 
 the userid and password variables are empty.  When I remove the username and 
 password attributes from the cfquery tag or assign them empty values 
 (example: username= password=), I receive the same error message as above.
 
 If I run a query test in the CrystalTech control panel, the results from the 
 table return fine.
 
 Is there a special way to call a datasource from CrystalTech in ColdFusion 8?
