Verifying ColdFusion Data Sources

The ColdFusion Administrator includes a facility for verifying data sources configured for ColdFusion. This is a useful way of making sure that a data source has been correctly configured and is available to your ColdFusion application pages.

Note

A username and password is required for data sources to be verified. To define a username and password for a data source, edit the properties for the data source.

To verify a ColdFusion data source:

  1. In the Administrator contents frame, select Verify Data Source, an option under the Data Sources link.
  2. Select a data source from the drop down list and click Verify. If the specified data source is not accessible, ColdFusion let's you know with an error message.

Note

If a connection test fails, it is sometimes useful to run a CFQUERY against the failed data source to get a more helpful error messages.
