I have inherited a Java application (servlets) that runs under Tomcat. For historical reasons, the code has different "look and feel" options based on where the application will be deployed (essentially a matter of branding). There are several constants that control this branding process, which have different functions and should not be...
I never touch routes.rb beyond calling map.root to set a default route. I've always been content to use URLs of the form... /controller/action/perhaps_an_id and it works fine. Does this make me a bad person? Am I missing out on something totally awesome? What if I try to adopt RESTful design? Would that mean I have to edit routes.rb...
Hi again, I just finished transferring as much link-structure data concerning wikipedia (English) as I could. Basically, I downloaded a bunch of SQL dumps from wikipedia's latest dump repository. Since I am using PostgreSQL instead of MySQL, I decided to load all these dumps into my db using pipeline shell commands. Anyway, one of thes...

I have PHP5.2.8 installed on IIS7, and it works fine for my default site (at C:\Inetpub\wwwroot). Now, I need to run local copies of my company's sites on my machine, and each of those are directores in wwwroot. I have set each up on a separate port so I can just go to http://localhost:[portnum] to get to each. If I try accessing a fi...

Hi All, Has anyone had any luck with querying/changing SPNs on a Windows domain? Most of the hits on Google are SQL related: I can't find any information on how to do this myself.

I need to build SSIS packages on a build machine, and do not want the overhead of installing SQL Server Management Studio on this machine.

Recently I had to change the exe name of my application, so after an upgrade, all settings revert to default values. I guess the settings system thinks ...

I would like for content approval to be turned on by default. According to the docs on ListTemplate, setting the EnableModeration attribute to TRUE should do it. However, when I try to insta...
We're a development shop that still does most of our development in .net 2.0. We're starting to think about using some of the new things in 3.5 (LINQ, etc) and there are some other software packages we're looking at that need WPF and so on. We'd like to get 3.5 up and running on our test server, but without wrecking any of the 2.0 site...
