Datasource could not be found when it definitely should be

Hi
We are getting the error "Datasource [NameOfDatasource] could not be found" for a particular CF datasource and can't work out why. A restart of CF resolves the error as does deleting the datasource and recreating it with the exact same properties. This started happening a couple of months after installing CF.
The server is CF 9.0.1 running on Win 2008 R2 (SP1) 64-bit.
The database and port the datasource connects to is definitely correct, so this is not the issue. We thought it may be an issue with the "Maintain connections across client requests" setting not maintaining a connection, but the issue still occurs even with this option turned off.
We create the datasource via code by making a copy of an existing 'template' datasource (using duplicate) and then setting properties of the copy. We use coldfusion.server.ServiceFactory.DataSourceService.DataSources to get the template datasource and to add the new datasource. We are investigating how to create the datasource from scratch using the Admin API (cfide.adminapi.administrator) rather than using the template to see if this resolves the issue, but in the meantime thought we would post to the forums to see if anyone can work out why its failing.
I created another post here that may be related whereby scheduled tasks are running several times daily when they shouldn't be. I don't know if these are related but they seemed to have started happening around the same time.
I didn't know whether this should be classed as a 'Question' or not, so ticked it just in case.
Thanks

Yes we lodged it as a bug. I'm not at work for the next week and can't
remember the number. Will try to update this post with the number next week.
Well that's good, but this doesn't mean Adobe are going to leap up and fix it for you: it just means it'll go into the pot for triage & possible action the next time there's a CF release. I meant here's no solid proof it's not just a vagary of something you've done yet, rather than a problem with CF itself.
If you want Adobe to jump when you have an issue, you need to raise a support ticket with them.

Deskjet 2542 all in one error: 'the specified module could not be found' when installing to USB

Installation proceeds OK until the USB cable is connected, when the error message is displayed and installation ceases.
I have successfully istalled and run the printer on another XP PC of a similar age - ie old.
I have upgraded the XP OS to SP3 with numerous updates;
Checked that the USB ports read Data sticks OK;
run a/v and malware programs, including Microsoft Safety Scanner;
checked that USB drivers are up to date;
uninstalled driver software and re-installed with software downloaded from HP;
carried out the procedures detailed in HP Support Forum 4022116
Error message the same.
This is for my elderly neighbour - help please!
This question was solved.

Hi @bodger50,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that your HP Deskjet 2542 gives you the error: 'the specified module could not be found' when installing to USB, on Windows XP.
I would recommend going through the steps in this post, Re: Install Error "The system cannot find the file specified" (hpzprl40.exe). When you get to the printer install wizard section, just use the full feature software and drivers found at this website, HP Deskjet 2540 All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Drivers. As the printer install wizard is only for Windows 7 and up.
Hope this is helpful, and thank you for posting!

What does this message mean: This song could not be used because the original file could not be found--When I try to play songs there is an "!" next to it.

A friend recenlty replaced my hard drive.
When I try to use itunes--I receive this message: "The song could not be used because the original could not be found, would you like to locate it? Next to my songs I see this: "!" Help--Please!!

Well what happened is the pathname to the song has changed slightly.
For instance if the song was located say c\:Windows\User\Mary\Music\iTunesFolder
and now it's c:\Windows\User\MaryXray\Music\iTunesFolder
I'm assuming here your music was replaced in the Music folder like on the old hard drive, that iTunesFolder was simply copied over in whole.
So to fix things, you go into the iTunes Folder in your Music Folder and look for a iTunes Music Library .XML file and open it in a Text Program that has "find and replace" ability.
You find the partial pathname of the old drive and you replace ALL instances of it with the new pathname.
so \Windows\User\Mary would be changed to
\Windows\User\MaryXray
Save the file and reopen iTunes.

Error message: Table could not be found when opening reports with InfoView or CMC

Hi All,
I have Crystal Reports Server XI R2 installed on a server and the database folder (foxpro) is located on a different server. Crystal is connected to the database using an ODBC connection (UNC path).
When I try to preview a report in Infoview or CMC I get the following error: "There was an error retrieving data from the server: The table 'dp' could not be found. Error in File C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\{BC665D6D-95DE-426B-A7A2-EBF9D23F42F4}.rpt: The table could not be found."
dp is the name of one of our tables.
If I publish a report that uses sql database or a foxpro db that is located on the same server as Crystal Server I donu2019t receive any error message..
Please help if you can and thanks in advance.

Hi Giovanni.
This post of yours is going on 2 weeks old.
Have you solved your problem?

Datasource could not be found

Been working on this problem for several days now. My CF 7
server with developer configuration (using the built-in CF server)
is fine, so I copied my production-ready site to my new CF 8
production server (using IIS). The problem, now, is that I'm
getting a "Datasource dimdbcfm could not be found."
The datasources on the CF 8 server have been set up in the CF
admin, so that shouldn't be the problem. In fact, if I use the
built-in CF server as a test (
http://s355ab5:8301/CFIDE/index.cfm)
I get the expected page with it's menu form and database-driven
options. However, the CGI values are missing ... not showing int
the debug or cfoutputs. For example, remote_user and auth_user is
blank, but remote_host is good. On the other hand, if I use the IIS
server (
http://s355ab5/CFIDE/) it gives
me the CGI values just fine but the datasource can not be found.
I've researched the problem across the net, through my books,
even check with some in-house help and can't figure it out ...
mostly because I can't find the same problem. I'm thinking it's a
case where it's either a misunderstood/ambiguous cause or something
is not right with my IIS or my CF.
Another potential problem is the location (directory path) of
the site and/or the IIS settings.
• I kept the site under the
\JRun4\servers\KIMprod\cfusion.ear\cfusion.war\CFIDE directory.
• I didn't bother with the \Inetpub\www\CFIDE
directory.
• I reset the default site to the same JRun4 directory.
• I checked "local path" and the associated
permissions. Seem OK.
Other checks done.
• I checked the Authentication Methods and set to
"Integrated Windows authentication".
• I have CF configured as Multiserver.
• I even tested this with a temporary ODBC connection.
The test connection was successful.
• I also added a JRunScripts virtual directory as
suggested by another web site. (Didn't get created automatically.)
• Also created sandbox settings. No change.
Seriously stuck here, and I'm hoping it's a simple problem,
even though I might hang my head in embarrassment if it is.
Let me know if you need more info or clarification.

This means that you can have multiple ColdFusion instances
running on
the server and it sounds like you do. One of the main reasons
to do
this is so that each instance can have its own separate and
unique
configurations such as DSN settings.
This instance you have running and configured to use the
built in web
server and is accessed from the URL
http://s355ab5:8301/CFIDE/index.cfm'
has the DSN configured. But the
built in web server is not a Windows IIS web server and thus
'Windows
Integrated Authentication' is meaningless to it and
cgi.auth_user is
never going to be populated automatically.
The instance you have running and configured to the URL
http://s355ab5/CFIDE/' does not
have the DSN configured. But this one
is an IIS web server and thus the 'Windows Integrated
Authentication'
means something and your cgi.auth_user is populated as
desired as long
as the user is using a Windows browser on a Windows OS client
connecting
to the Windows server over a Windows domain network. (Thus
the 'Windows'
part of the integrated security.)
Compare and contrast these too administrator settings,
especially the
DSN settings.
http://s355ab5/cfide/administrator/
AND
http://s355ab5:8301/cfide/administrator/
AND just for fun
http://s355ab5:80/cfide/administrator/
Which should be the same as the first one, but may more
clearly
distinguish why these are different web sites. Different
ports means
different web sites.

Getting error message "the requested item could not be found" when trying to install Firefox on my android.

I had to uninstall Firefox for Android because I was having problems logging in to sync. I got a support e-mail to uninstall and reinstall because the sync issue had been fixed. I uninstalled the Firefox app and then when I tried to reinstall it I get the error message on my phone "the requested item could not be found." HELP!

Some supported phones are not displaying Firefox in the Market for some reason. We're still investigating this. You can check if your phone is supported here:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android
and then download the app directly from here:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/releases/4.0b3/android-r7/multi/
(Note: If your phone is from AT&T, you will have to search for instructions on "sideloading" the APK file, since AT&T disables the option to install from non-Market sources.)

Fix for "necessary file could not be found" when syncing photos

During the holidays I found the fix for an annoying error message when syncing my iPod Touch (2nd gen), my wifes iPhone 3GS and my iPhone 4, that I'm pleased to share with you all:
The problem was that iTunes gave an error message that "an necessary file could not be found" (my own translation from the Danish wording) when I tried syncing photos - and then syncing stopped/aborted all together. Very annoying!
But it wasn't all photos that triggered this error, only some. I've tried switching usb-port, removing special folders inside "Pictures" and inside "Library" etc.
Yesterday I tried to remove the "iPod Photo Cache" folder inside the iPhoto Lib itself. And that resolved this issue! Eg. ctrl-click the iPhoto Lib file, show content of package and delete/move the "iPod Photo Cache" folder to trash.
Hope this will help others!

Getting (circle !) saying could not be found when I've ripped them to C:.

I moved most of my iTunes music to me D: and when I did this, I seem to have lost music. The albums come up, but they have the circled "!" saying the file could not be found. "Would you like to locate it?" I went to my D: and saw where I moved to a more freespace drive to store, but once I bring them to my library, I can't play them or open them. Please help me! Arrrggh.

Is this an iphone question?
It seems an itunes question. You may want to post to the itunes forum.

Get error message that server could not be found when sending email thru iPhoto

I have established a icloud/mobile me account. Trying to use iphoto to send photos with emails and always get error message that server coule not be found.

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Message "error #1 converting file message="(20)word(ver.xp)could not be found" when converting Word

I have users who can't convert Microsoft Word 2000 documents in Designer 7.0. 1 user is using a Dell Optiplex GX260 running Windows 2000 SP4, P4 1.8 Ghz, 512 MB RAM. Another user is working on a Dell Latitude D610 also running Windows 2000 SP4, Pentium M 1.73 Ghz, 512 MB RAM. Both of these users have Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional, I have applied the 7.0.5 patch. Both users have Microsoft Office 2000 SP-3. Any Ideas???

Well, as mentioned in the Designer Help you can convert Word files from Word XP and Word 2003, it doesn't mention Word 2000, so that is probably the problem (unsupported format).
If Acrobat is installed on the machines you can probably export out to a PDF from Word and then import that PDF into Designer as an alternative work flow. Though, off the top of my head I'm not sure if that is supported in Word 2000 either, but could be worth a try.

Original file could not be found when I click on song

I had to restore my hard drive but had everything backed up. But I don't remember the exact directory it was in to point the Itunes library to. How can I find this previous link to the songs? When I right click on the song it doesn't show any previous address.

The "missing file" error happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, one of its parent folders, or the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place. In the case of a library moved from one system to another there are also potential permissions issues. See Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to Get Info, then click No when asked to try to locate the track. (Due to a bug in iTunes 12 you currently have to say No twice!) Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, a folder renamed, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions. If the difference between the two paths is an additional Music folder in one path then this is a layout issue. I can explain further if that is the case.
In some cases iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps with Get Info but this time click Locate and browse to the lost track. It may then offer to attempt to automatically fix other broken links.
If another application like Windows Media Player has moved/renamed the files then the chances are that subtle differences in naming strategies will make it hard to restore the media to the precise path that iTunes is expecting. In such cases, as long as the missing files can be found somewhere, you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes. See this post for an explanation of how it works.

Why won't Itunes get my album artwork? It just says could not be found when all the info is the same as Itunes.

Out of no where suddenly Itunes refuses to get my album artwork. The info is exactly the same as Itunes but it refuses to get any artwork. I tried signing in and out, then back in. Nothing seems to work! Why won't it get my album artwork?

.wav tracks don't have a tag, so you can't save artwork, or indeed other metadata to them. Use AIFF or Apple Lossless if you want the highest quality, but 256k or 320k mp3 may be just as good depending on the equipment you have and your own hearing.

I'm trying to use import com.adobe.crypto.* on Windows version of my App but get error 1172:Definition com.adobe.crypto could not be found

The Mac version of my Air app works fine, so does the iPad version, but the PC version has been a bit of a nightmare.
I keep getting the error "1172:Definition com.adobe.crypto could not be found", when I publish it.
Basically the 'com' folder is in the same directory as the app I am publishing and within that is 'adobe' and within that is 'crypto' within that is a series of .as files.
I've added C:\Users\Gary\Documents\My_Applications\My_App_folder\com\adobe\crypto to source path list (I have no idea if that's right).
But that just gives me a different error 5001: The name of package com.adobe.crypto does not reflect the location of this file. Please change the package definitions name inside the file.......
I didn't have to include this source in the Mac version... but someone seemed to suggest it on a forum.
I'm basically stabbing in the dark at the mount, something I seem to be doing a lot of these days. :-(
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks
Gary

I've figured it out
Turns out I needed to add a source path (in the Actionscript 3 settings click on the Source File Tab) that exactly matches the directory the app and com folder is inside of. I wrongly assumed that Adobe Air could figure out where it was for itself, but no.... it needs to be told where to look for the com folder even though it's staring it right in its face. (Don't set the path to the 'com' folder itself, but to the enclosing folder that the .fla and the com is in).
The Mac version doesn't seem to need that, it just finds the com folder if it's inside the same folder.
Now I've got another massive error:-
When I test the app, it works fine sending to Air for Desktop, however when I publish with embedded runtime for Windows.... It comes up with this error.
Any ideas ?
