This is new to me: I am looking into a ColdFusion website.
The problem is I cannot even find the connection string. In some qryXXX.cfm files, I find
<cfquery name="GetXXX" datasource="xxxx">
But I just cannot find where this datasource is stored.
The datasource is defined in the ColdFusion Administrator.
On a default developer install the CF Administrator is available at:
http://localhost:8500/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm(On a server, it may or not be configured differently to this.)
Once logged in, on the left hand menu, go to section “Data & Services”, and the first entry is “Data Sources”, which is the area you want to go in.
Within this area, you will find a list of all defined datasources – the first icon in the Actions column lets you edit/view the details.
The actual data which the CF Administrator works with is stored in
{coldfusion-dir}/lib/neo-datasource.xml
