I have a freshly built 64-bit Windows Server 2008 R2 box that I have installed 64-bit Coldfusion 9 Standard on. I’ve upgraded and hotfixed it up to the most current version of CF. I also had 64-bit Oracle 11g (11.1.0.7.0) Client installed on the box. I’ve created a System DSN using the 64-bit ODBC Data Source Administrator in Windows and can successfully test the connection of the data source.
All of these installations went smoothly, however, when I went to add a datasource in the Coldfusion Administrator I receive the error:
Connection verification failed for data source: myDatabaseName
java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SequeLink JDBC Driver][ODBC Socket]internal error: The specified DSN contains an architecture mismatch between the Driver and Application
The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SequeLink JDBC Driver][ODBC Socket]internal error: The specified DSN contains an architecture mismatch between the Driver and Application
I am having a hard time understanding exactly where this architecture mismatch is coming from since the box is entirely 64-bit. I see while looking at all the processes that are running, some related CF processes are running in 32-bit (Verity related processes, SOLR and CFDotNetSVC). I am not sure if those could cause this issue but I am at a loss to explain were this mismatch would come from otherwise.
Anyone have any ideas?
I believe you need to either step down to the 32-bit drivers, or use native JDBC drivers to connect to Oracle successfully. My suggestion would be to go the JDBC route, and connect directly through a native Oracle JDBC driver by using the “other” selection on the Datasource screen. You’ll get better performance that way, and have more control over your connection via ColdFusion.
