I need to create a new database connection for coldfusion mx 7 on winblows 2003 but coldfusion administrator is broken. Is there any way to create a new JDBC connection without it? Perhaps some registry or ini file editing? How about for ODBC?

    You can code a template to create a datasource using the adminAPI. The examples do just that. View the MSSQL example on this page, Administrator API.

    However, you might just want to fix you CFAdmin. Got to a working CFMX7 server of the same version. Zip up all of CFIDE (usually under wwwroot of cfusion or your docroot). Delete the 'broken' one on your server. Unzip the CFIDE zip to replace.
