Location of Coldfusion connection string settings
coldfusion
Solution
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`
Problem
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.
