Configuring Your Installation 37
Configuring databases
After the install has completed, but before you can setup data sources in the
ColdFusion Administrator, you must edit the /opt/coldfusion/bin/start script to
include information about your database(s).
Normally this requires two changes per database: setting a database-specific
environment variable, and adding the path to the client-side database libraries to
your
LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. Examples are provided in the start
script to help you.
After editing the start script, you must stop and restart ColdFusion Server for the
changes to take effect. Then use ColdFusion Administrator to set up your data
sources.
Note
ColdFusion Server no longer supports OpenIngres database drivers on Solaris.
Note
For more information on configuring data sources for ColdFusion Server, see
“Managing Data Sources” on page 109. Also, see the ODBC 3.7 documentation PDF
file in /opt/coldfusion/odbc/doc/odbcref.pdf.
