Help installing new JDBC driver on LINUX

Question

Hello,
Today, I downloaded the new SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver onto
my Linux Server. The path to the driver's .jar file is
/root/sqljdbc_1.0/enu/sqljdbc.jar. I placed that path in my CF
Adminstrator "Java and JVM" page's Class Path field. I restarted
the app server but each time I try to establish a dsn connection I
keep getting this error. (note: I have dsn's set up already to this
instance of SQL Server 2005 so the communicatio is there but I
would prefer to use this new driver)
Connection verification failed for data source: dsnTestDB
java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver available for
dsnTestDB, please check the driver setting in resources file,
error: null
The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException: No suitable
driver available for dsnTestDB please check the driver setting in
resources file, error: null
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Try placing the jar file in the
{cfmx-root}/runtime/servers/lib (create if not already there)
directory if you have the server install or the
{jrun-root}/servers/lib directory if you have the multiserver or
j2ee install on JRun. Restart the Coldfusion applicatioin server.
