Problem with Microsoft Access databases

ColdFusion , Default Add comments

There is currently a problem with the ODBC service on cfdeveloper-cf2 which is stopping Microsoft Access DSN's from working from Coldfusion.

If your site is on this server and you are using Microsoft Access then you are most likley getting the following error.

[Macromedia][SequeLink JDBC Driver]TCP/IP error, connection refused.

I am currently investigating the issue and will have it resolved as soon as posisble. In the mean time you may want to take this opportunity to migrate away from Microsoft Access which is not really suitable for production websites as it is a desktop database.
Cfmldeveloper also supports MySQL 5, which is a popular free RDBMS, and a better solution than MS Access, here is a handy tool that will help you with the migration.

For more information on migrating from Access to MySQL google is your friend.
