ColdFusion Database settings

Where is a place to look for db settings in ColdFusion? I would like to connect to the db via sequel pro.

Solution

  • Is there a DSN set up on the server that the CF is using? That can be used to connect to the database, and would specify the name, password, database and a bit more. That's accessed through the CFAdministrator page, not in the CF code itself. Only the DSN name is used in the code.

    Edit: In the CF admin page, go to the Data & Services tab, then choose Data Sources. That is where the list of DSNs exist. Select a data source to see the connection information. The password is masked.
