[GLLUG] [OT?] Solaris & MySQL w/ ColdFusion

[Sean]

Actually not off-topic. 

Did you make sure you could connect via the outside net address instead of 
localhost in both your firewall and your mysql permissions tables?

My guess would be that coldfusion is using your real IP address instead of 
localhost for connections. (assuming they are on the same server.) Just a 
guess and probably a bad one at that.

I've been struggling for several days trying to set everything up, but it seems that after building every package by source, ColdFusion still fails to verify MySQL datasources.  I started with ColdFusion 4.5.1, SP2, then downloaded the trial of CF 5 just to test.
