ColdFusion on Linuyx...

[zerokode]

Greetings!
I have 3 questions to ask, that I just couldn't resolve in my time spent configuring the Linux box....

My fiend told me, that M$ access could be linked to MyODBC SQL driver, but, I couldn't make that... Any suggestions or ideas on this?

Now for the 2nd question:
(also on Linux): I have created one MySQL database, but I just can't connect on it; The host is localhost, the ports are right (3306), and the name of the database is right (driver is mySQL one), Ideas?

And the last one (and maybe not even least): How come, that the application.cfm won't work on Linux? is it a bad idea tu use it, or it's a matter of something?

Hmmm... The systematics if the system is this:

SuSE Linux 8.0 (+update)
CF server 5.0
MySQL 3.23.33 (or some close)

Apritiate for the help!

To address the third question... Linux is case-sensitive, and I believe that the correct case is Application.cfm... you'll also experience odd case-related quirks at other times you're interfacing with the file system, especially when calling custom tags -- the case used to call them depends on what method you use (<cf_tagname> vs. <cfmodule>) and, incredibly, where the custom tag is stored.

application.cfm DOES work on linux. The problem is that linux is case sensitive, so it must be called 'Application.cfm' (capital A). Then it will work fine.
