Trying to configure MySQL database with Cold Fusion 4.5. Can't seem to get it to work. Any hot tips on congifuring in Cold Fusion Administrator???
 
Just follow these steps - this should work.

1. Make sure you have the ODBC drivers installed for MySQL (downloadable from MySQL web site).
2. Create a system (important to ensure it's created as a system DSN) datasource.
3. Configure the new MySQL system datasource accordingly. Fill in name, password, etc as required.
4. Enter the ColdFusion administrator ODBC screen. You should see your new DSN.
5. Select the MySQL DSN and enter the password and name, if one was created.
6. Select "verify" and test your new DSN.

HTH and Good luck

You don't say which operating system you are running on.
 
I assume that the OS is WinNT and the solutions works that way for me.
