CF11 and ODBC socket DSN creation error

[ks1014]

I recently installed CF11 (Enterprise in Trial mode) on a new Server 2012 R2 system. I have an ERP application that uses a Progress database. I installed the vendor specific 64bit ODBC driver (Progress OpenEdge 10.2B) and configured it in the 64bit ODBC Data Source Mgr on the server. I tested the connection from within the Data Source Mgr and it was successful. When I attempt to create a DSN in CF11 though the vendor specific driver does not appear in the dropdown list. I tried to create a DSN using "ODBC Socket" and filled in the same "Data Source Name" as that used in the OS's Data Source Mgr, but after a minute or so this error appears, "The ColdFusion ODBC Server service is not running or has not been installed." I confirmed that the CF11 ODBC Server and Agent services are running on this server so I am not sure why this error is claiming otherwise.

I would greatly appreciate any assistance on this. I was able to create a MS SQL DSN in CF11 with no problem, so at least some are working.

Thanks,

Kevin

Hi Kevin,

I am trying to do the same connectivity as your CF11 and ODBC socket DSN creation error question.

I am hoping that you have some success with this task.

Please let me know if you have any feed back.

Thanks,
