Re: What can be done when Cold Fusion 9 ODBC Services will not install?

Hi GDMVU,

Save the below code as CF9_RemoveOdbc.cfm

<cfscript>

  //login using admin 

  //createObject("component","cfide.adminapi.administrator").login("adm inistrator_password");

  createObject("component","cfide.adminapi.administrator").login("admin ");            

  //instantiate datasource object

  myObj = createObject("component","cfide.adminapi.datasource");

</cfscript>

<cfscript> 

     writeOutput("Removing ODBC Services...<br>"); 

     returnValue = myObj.removeODBCservice(); 

     writeOutput("ODBC Services removed"); 

</cfscript>

Save the below code as CF9_InstallOdbc.cfm

<cfscript>

  //login using admin 

  //createObject("component","cfide.adminapi.administrator").login("adm inistrator_password");

  createObject("component","cfide.adminapi.administrator").login("admin ");

  //instantiate datasource object

  myObj = createObject("component","cfide.adminapi.datasource");

</cfscript>

<cfscript> 

         writeOutput("Installing ODBC Services...<br>"); 

         returnValue = myObj.installODBCservice(); 

         writeOutput("ODBC Services installed"); 

</cfscript>

Now try the following steps:-

1. Change admin password in above .cfm pages for your CF 9 server.
2. Use RemoveObdc cfm page first to remove any existing faulty/corrupted Odbc services.
3. Use InstallOdbc Odbc services to install Odbc services there.

Hope this helps.
