Hello-
I’ve been running through some tutorials on a book I purchased not long ago. I’m well past installing and configuring “Macromedia Coldfusion MX7 developer edition” and using its built-in web server to run as my local environment.
Everything seemed to be working fine for days. I could create and edit dynamic .cfm files and view them in my default browser. Now this morning I cannot seem to view any dynamic pages in my browser.
When I click the F12 button I receive the following error:
The web site you are accessing has experienced an unexpected error.
Please contact the website administrator.
The following information is meant for the website developer for debugging purposes.
Error Occurred While Processing Request
Error Executing Database Query.
[Macromedia][SequeLink JDBC Driver][ODBC Socket][Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] 'K:\dwda08\newland\database\newland_tours.mdb' is not a valid path. Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides.
Resources:
• Enable Robust Exception Information to provide greater detail about the source of errors. In the Administrator, click Debugging & Logging > Debugging Settings, and select the Robust Exception Information option.
• Check the ColdFusion documentation to verify that you are using the correct syntax.
• Search the Knowledge Base to find a solution to your problem.

I’ve double checked the path to the database many times (and nothing has changed since last I’ve used it error free) and the database is still intact and accessible.
I decided to try and browse directly to the local host ( http://localhost/) but could not connect. I can however connect to http://localhost:8500/ and I can connect to the CF Administrator.
I created a new site, to see if maybe the site I’ve been working on has been corrupted somehow. When I tried to view the index.cfm I received the following error:
Unable to connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost.
Lastly, (after much searching on the net for some hints) I browsed to my services and restarted the Coldfusion Application server. No luck.
Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!

which book are u using?
I assume u r using dreamweaver as your web editor!
It could be a network issue. If not could you paste the full link of your site? When setting up the site, it should contain the path to the folder containing your webpages and not the database.
Database has to added using coldfusion admin after logging in.

Judging by the path name K:, you are pathing to another
machine via drive mapping? Put the database on the same machine as
your coldfusion server and try it. Make sure you change the path in
CF Admin to match with where your database is now being stored.
If you get this to work, then its a fault in connection between the server machine and whereever you have your database being stored. Perhaps the server machine is not authenticating to your K: machine.
