Question

Fusebox holding an Access DB in memory

I just inherited a Fusebox application.

It is using something called fbx_fusebox30_CF50_turbo.cfm

The environment is Windows Server 2003, CF8.

The MDB has been loaded into memory. I deleted it and expect it to crash the application, but instead the site goes along working just fine, even running new queries. I want it to break, so that I can load the correct MDB in place. How do I tell Fusebox to reload the settings from scratch?

It also seems to be using something called railo, there is a file called railo.xml.cfm which defines the datasource.

Any ideas?

    First, you need to determine if this is running on ColdFusion Server or Railo (see

    www.railo.org for more info - railo is an alternative CFML processor to ColdFusion Server).  If you are running CF, try breaking the database connection to Access by writing a CF script that does a CFQUERY to the datasource, but has an error in its SQL ("SEL * FROM xxx").  You'll get the error message back from CFQUERY, and the connection between CFserver and Access will be broken.
