:disgust;
I've been on this problem for weeks now. I have searche the net untill I'm
blue in the face.
I am trying to set up coldfusionmx7 to talk to oracle91
I successfully installed coldfusionmx7 on the same Solaris9 unix box that
Apache 1.3 and oracle91 are on.
I configured Apache for coldfusion via the coldfusion installation program.
All is fine until I try to configure a Data Source from within the
administrator page for coldfusion.
The datasource is Oracle and filled out like this:
------------------------------------------------------------------
CF Data Source Name oracle
SID Name <the sid of my oracle instance>
Server <ip address of unix machine> Port 1521
Username <oracle-user-username>
Password (16-character limit) password for the oracle-user-username
Description oracle

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------
the error I get is this:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------
Connection verification failed for data source: oracle
java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][Oracle JDBC Driver]Error establishing
socket. Connection refused
The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][Oracle JDBC
Driver]Error establishing socket. Connection refused

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Has anyone seen this before? Any suggestions?
