Setting up MySQL data sources
I had to reinstall Coldfusion. After I did I had to set up my datasources. For some reason I cannot remember how to set up MySQL data sources. I have to do this in my control panel in Windows right? Becuase Coldfusion adminstator page doesn't list MySQL divers. I know I have one intalled. So I have to set up a system DSN? I have MySQL ODBC 3.51 driver. is this right? Because I keep getting a failed message when I click "verifiy".

I know it says 4.1 but it may well be worth giving it a try - it solved my problem anyway

I am using MySQL version 4.0.18 and Coldfusion 5. I am not getting any specific errors just the datasource will not verify. I know I had it working before and didn't have to go through any extra steps like outlined in that link you posted.

Also Coldfusion 5 sets up on Windows XP Pro as a service right? It runs automatically? And CFMX runs as a separate server you have to turn on right?

They both run as services (actually a set of services).
