Datasource error

[twiSSt]

I looked around for this erro in the forum and found something similar but the solution will not work for me.

The error i am recieving is;
Operation failed on the data source named "WTGI"

It goes on to refer to a page called Application.cfm. The page that i am getting this error from does not refer to an Application.cfm.
It is also showing
C:\Inetpub\

http://wwwroot\vpn\Application.cfm:

line 5

3 : CLIENTMANAGEMENT="Yes"
4 : SESSIONMANAGEMENT="Yes"
5 : applicationtimeout="#CreateTimeSpan(0,10,0,0)#"
6 : sessiontimeout="#CreateTimeSpan(0,10,0,0)#">

which of course is code that is not resident on the page that i am trying to get to.

Oh yeah I'm running CFMX 6.1 and my database is Mysql and I am using thier MyODBC driver.

It only appears to be affecting certain applications on the server, but none of them are using the Data Source of "WTGI".

before we get to your problem you need to know how the application.cfm file works.

application.cfm is called on every request automatically. you don't have to manually include it.

At a guess I would say that your client variables are set to store to a datasource called WTGI. Go into the CFAdmin and click the "Client Variables" link, in this section switch it to cookie and then try to reload the page and see if the error still exists.

Hope this helps

Thanks Wullie, that did the trick. That and the fact that I am armed with a full understanding of how the application.cfm pages works has made my day much better.
