Help needed connecting to database

I have had difficulty following the instructions in the
getting started manual for Dreamweaver MX in Chapter 7 (Setup for
Sample ColdFusion Site) in the section "connecting to the sample
database" under "creating a ColdFusion data Source". It says:
"1 In Dreamweaver, open a ColdFusion page.
2 In the Databases panel (Window > Databases), click the
Modify Data Sources icon (the second icon from the right on the
panel toolbar).
ColdFusion Administrator opens in a browser.
3 Log in to ColdFusion Administrator and create a data source
called connGlobal pointing to the global.mdb database file."
Not knowing what a "ColdFusion page" is, I try clicking
File>New... and edit preferences to set the default to
Coldfusion page, close and reopen dreamweaver so that it says
"document type: ColdFusion" in the application>databases panel.
However, when I click on Modify Data Sources, a "Coldfusion
administrator URL" box appears prompting with
http://localhost/cfide/administrator/datasources/index.cfm.
When I click OK it does nothing (and clicking Test produces error
404) and I don't get a login prompt.
Can someone tell me if I'm on the right track? Thankyou,
Charles

Do you have ColdFusion installed on your PC? You can get a
free developer version from Adobe. Then, you'll need to set up your
site's Testing Server, server model as ColdFusion.

Need help in connecting to Database

Hi,
I have installed Oracle Database 10g Express Edition.I can connect to the standard hr schema (hr/hr) via both command line and SQL Developer. But when I installed Oracle DevSuite 10g today to work on Oracle reports builder,
I can't connect to that by SQL*PLUS or inside any other application ,like reports.
I get a ORA-12560 TNS Protocol adapter error.
I have also looked up my tnsnames.ora file ; it has a working localhost entry.
Please suggest a way to connect to it.Thanks.
-RC

ORA-12560 can mean that ORACLE_SID environment variable is not set at OS level on Windows.
If this is not the case please see Testing and Troubleshooting Oracle Net Services http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/network.102/b14212/part3.htm#i436520

I had linked the database using ODBC and it works well..the only problem is that when i click the "vote" button of the selected JRadioButtons..It doesn't add to my access database file.It will have a lot of errors in the command line.But for the compiling and execuation it works fine.
for my access database..I had created a table called "poly" and I had included all the 5 names of the polythenic inside too with fieldnames=nyp,sp,tp,rp,np and data type all to Number.
My reason behind this is to allows the database to read in values from the radiobutton and once the user who click the vote button will store as 1 and by clicking the second time it will auto add to 2.

Urgent Help needed : Connecting Access 2000 with forms 6i

Dear friends,
I am really struggling to solve this connection issue. I am working with forms 6i, oracle 8i, in Windows XP pro environment. Developing programs using oracle 8i tables is ok, but there are tables in Access 2000, which I have to add the program that I am developing. The things I have done are
- I have already tables in MS Access databse.
- I Installed ODBC for microsoft and for Oracle as well(which . I added the MS Access Database there and I can perfom SQL from Oracle ODBC.
- I also installed OCA for developer from the CD.
From this point I followed the instructions in Developer Help menu and I was not able to connect and still trying, I will appreciate if anyone provide me sometips. Thanks in advance
Best Regards

Hi,
I know the bad solution. But anyway, I'll tell you in any kind of help. I also had an AccessControlException when I started a RMI client program using JFileChooser. I rewrote policy files again and agin, but in vain. The last and ultimate method I did was remove the RMISecurityManager. This is obviously dangerous in the Internet, but if you use your application in the intranet or in some kind of safe environment. There would be no problem.
Hope this could be any kind of your help.

Help needed connecting PC to AirportExpress

I have a desktop connected wirelessly to my router which I was hoping to tap into to pipe music into my living room to play off of some speakers via airport express. However...
I plugged in the AirPort Express, and it just keeps blinking yellow. I ran the install and opened up the Setup Assistant and it tells me that "An error occured trying to use the wireless networking system". I'm am using that very same wireless system to write and submit this post...so I know it works. But how can I get the two to communicate the way they need to?
I should also mention that no base stations show up in either the Setup Assistant or the Admin Utility.

Welcome to the discussions
Check a couple of things.

You might also look at Airport for Windows that should help as well.

Help needed connecting 2 routers

Hello, I've been scratching around looking for a solution to my problem for a couple of weeks now.
I have 2 routers (connected as per the pic below) - I have configured it so that I can collect access logs (this is one of the few routers I've found than can log internet URLs) for anyone who connects via wifi on the BEF router, however I can only get an internet connection if I use a LAN port (as per the red line). I've read that in order to log activity I need to connect via the internet port (yellow dotted line), but I can't get it to work and it's frustrating the heck out of me now
Does anyone have any solutions for this?
Thanks in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thank you for your help, re-instating the DHCP did the trick (after a power cycle).
Just in case anyone else needs to do this, here is my final config;
WAG160N is set to 192.168.1.1 with DHCP enabled.
BEFW11S4 is set to 192.168.2.1 with DHCP enabled and auto select IP address.
Thanks for all the suggestions everyone - just need a Wireless N ADSL router (to replace the two I've got hooked up) that can log all internet traffic now

Help needed connecting to MySQL

Please could someone tell me how to connect to a MySQL database. I'm using Tomcat 4.0 and Forte. I just want to know where to put the database (i.e under <tomcat-install>\?? or <forte-install>\??) and how the connection works in Forte.

MySQL goes into it's own directory (doesn't really matter where). It needs to be started separately from either Tomcat or Forte.
In Tomcat or Forte (or any app that needs to connect to the database) you need to have a JDBC driver for Tomcat (ConnectorJ, previously known as mm-mysql, for example). The jar-file for this driver needs to be on the classpath (in Tomcat, you can put it in the master lib directory, or distribute it with each web application that needs a database connection).
Have a look at the JDBC and ConnectorJ documentation on how to proceed from there.

Help needed connecting Iomega Minimax Ext HDD to Airport Extreme 802.11n

Would appreciate if someone can help me with the following task. After researching and trying several things, I have not succeed in resolving the issue.
I want to connect a Iomega MiniMax Ext HDD (for Mac) to my (Airport Extreme 802.11n + Time Capsule) box using the USB port at the back of my Airport Extreme. Then I want to access the Ext HDD wirelessly as a drive on my Macbook (snow leopard OS). I was told this was possible at the Apple Store...but have failed so far.
Any suggestions so far

Hello smitra. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
The following are the basic steps for sharing an external USB drive attached to either an 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) or a Time Capsule (TC):
o Plug the hard disk into the USB port on the back of the base station.
o Open AirPort Utility, located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder on a Mac, and in Start > All Programs > AirPort on a computer using Windows
o Select your base station, and then, choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu.
o Click Disks in the toolbar, and then, click File Sharing.
o Choose “With a disk password,” or “With base station password” if you want to secure the shared disk with a password, or choose “With accounts” if you want to secure the disk using accounts. If you choose to use accounts, click Configure Accounts, click the Add "+" button, and then enter a name and password for each user that will access the disk. For simplicity, I would recommend using the "With a disk password" option.
o Choose “Not allowed,” “Read only,” or “Read and write” to assign guest access to the disk.
o Select the “Share disks over Ethernet WAN port” checkbox if you want to provide remote access to the disk over the WAN port.
You should now be able to find this drive within Finder under the SHARED category.

New Installation Help Needed - Connection Timeout

New to the home and Verizon service from a combination modem/router. In Airport Utility, chose to connect to a wireless network and add AE in order to extend my current network (the issue is distance to an important computer). The utility seems to run okay and there is a green light at the end of the routine. I have tried every combination available and either continue to get the Connection Timeout or cannot see the network at all.
Any suggestions?
I tried adding in my old Linksys router and while the network name appears an error message is always given that the user is not connected to the internet.

josephchatham, Welcome to the discussion area!
To extend the wireless network created by the Verizon base station you will need to connect the AirPort Express (AX) via Ethernet. The AX can not wirelessly extend the network created by that base station.

Help Needed connecting a second Airport Express

I have a perfectly functioning Airport Express. It is connected to a Router and I have DSL. I have encryption and it is password protected. We have 5 Macs that blissfully use this A.E. You would think I would be happy, right?
My (ahem) wife, then wanted a printer connected in our bedroom (which is quite 2 rooms down from the terminus of the router/1st A.E.) My problem is that I purchased a second Airport Express so that I could plug the printer into the 2nd A.E. Now, I cannot get the second A.E. to become part of the network. It continually blinks green and yellow. I cannot get it to see the 1st A.E. that is connected to my router. The 1st A.E. still chugs along great without problems. Any ideas available to get the 2nd to communicate with the first? My wife is ready to disown me and I need the tax deduction

Set up the second AirPort Express (AX) as a wireless client. (ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302153)

Help Needed - Connecting a new Router

Hi,
I have just bought an asus rt-ac68u router to replace my old BT home hub 3. I have connected it to the existing BT openreach modem
I have configured the new router. The WAN settings are PPoE. The router is showing as connected to the Internet.
However the problem is my computer shows the network is not connecting to the Internet despite the router saying it is connected. When I run a windows network diagnostics test it says there may be a problem with your Domain Name Server configuration
Has anybody got any ideas what I have done wrong. I've left the dns field to set themselves automatically.
Appreciate any help you can give. I don't know much about networks, the instructions made it look like it would be pretty much plug and play
Thanks

I don't have this router but going by the instructions here
http://www.asus.com/uk/Networking/RTAC68U/HelpDesk_Manual/
it should be fairly straight forward to set up. All the setting should be populated automatically when you connect with the exception of the setting I gave you.
If you have changed or put in any settings other than the PPPoE and account name etc I gave you I would carry out a factory reset of the router and start again following the instructions to the letter.
Make sure you are connecting by Ethernet before trying to connect by wireless.

Help needed connecting iMac and PowerBook to Blueyonder cable boradband

I'm not too knowlegeable aboout computers, so please be gentle with me!
I have had broadband supplied by Blueyonder (cable) for some time with no problems.
I have now bought a G4 PowerBook and an Airport Extreme unit and with them to share the internet connection and to share files.
The iMac has no AirPort card so I want to connect that via Ethernet, but the laptop will be wireless.
I have managed (just) to get the network set up so the two computers can share files (so I assume the AirPort unity isn't faulty), but I cannot get either machine to connect to the internet when connected to the AirPort Extreme. I can only connect by plugging the ethernet cable from my modem directly into my iMac.
I used the Airport Setup Assistant on the laptop and ended up with a message saying that I was now connected to the internet wirelessly, but when I launch Safari, I cannot reach the net at all. I then used the AirPort Admin utility on the desktop to try to configure the
I expect anyoen answering this will need more information... but can anyone supply some pointers?
The desktop used OS X.3.9 and the laptop OS X.10.4 though I doubt this makes a difference.
Many thanks.
iMac G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Power down the cable modem.
Wait 30 minutes (go and have a cup of tea or something).
Connect the cable modem to the WAN port of the Airport Extreme Base Station (AEBS).
Switch on the cable modem.
Switch on the AEBS.
Wait five minutes.
Switch on the PowerBook and see if it now works.
If it does, plug the iMac into the LAN port of he AEBS.
Use the Airport Setup Assistant in the Utilities folder to configure the AEBS.
