Testing a DSN

When you have finished adding a new system DSN or editing its information, you can use the following procedure to verify that it is functioning correctly.

To test a system DSN

1. If necessary, open the Chili!Soft ASP Administration Console by using the following URL:

http://[HOSTNAME]:[PORT]

where [HOSTNAME] is the hostname of your Web server and [PORT] is the port on which the Administration Console is running (5100 by default).

2. On the ASP Server tab of the Server Management page (the first page to appear when you open the Administration Console), click Databases.

The Data Source Names page displays.

3. In the same line as the name of the DSN you want to change, click test.

A dialog box displays providing information about the connection. If it reveals an error, correct the problem, and then retest the connection.
