I just moved my domain to Godaddy for hosting. I setup a DSN and tried to connect but I keep getting this error Godaddy said that the DSN name has to be the same as the database name so I went back into CF Administrator and change my connection to be the same as my DB name. Does anybody have any suggestions!!! Thanks in advance for your help!!!!

Data source TanglewoodDB could not be found.


The error occurred in D:\Hosting\derekwit\more.cfm: line 105

103 : <cflocation url="/thanks.htm">

105 : <cfquery name="WEBDB" datasource="TanglewoodDB">

    Where did you set up your DSN? What 'CF Administrator' did you change
    your connection? Godaddy is good cheap hosting, but their customer
    service is clueless about the technology. The one time I used it I
    demanded to talk to a second tier technician and got a CF technician who
    was able to answer my question. One is primarily on ones own for
    configuring and using their ColdFusion hosting.

    Where did you set up your DSN? I set it up in the CF Administrator (Localhost) then I configured in online with Godaddy
